EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Old Castleton, a medieval motte and bailey earthworks nestled in the picturesque landscape of Clifford, Herefordshire. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2016, this stunning image transports us back to a bygone era. The focal point of the photo is the magnificent castle that proudly stands atop the ancient motte. Its weathered stone walls tell tales of centuries past, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The meticulous preservation of this historical site allows us to appreciate its architectural grandeur and imagine life within its formidable walls. Surrounding the castle are sprawling earthworks that form part of the bailey, creating an intricate network of defensive fortifications. These remnants from another time serve as a reminder of England's rich history and offer glimpses into medieval warfare strategies. Grady's expert use of aerial photography provides a unique perspective on Old Castleton's layout and scale. From above, we can fully appreciate how this once-thriving stronghold dominated its surroundings with commanding presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England, our imaginations run wild with stories untold - knights in shining armor defending their honor or noble ladies strolling through lush gardens within these very walls. This photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into our collective heritage – reminding us to cherish and protect these precious links to our past for generations to come.
