EDITORS COMMENTS
middle of the seventeenth century, Middleham Castle in North Yorkshire, England, stands proudly against the backdrop of the picturesque Middleham village. This medieval ruin, a relic of the past, has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its once grand walls. The castle, now a derelict structure, was once a formidable fortress and royal residence. It was built in the late 13th century by Robert de Eastham, a wealthy Yorkshire knight, and later became the home of Richard, Duke of York, who played a significant role in the Wars of the Roses. As you gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful image, taken by Alun Bull in March 2015 for Historic England, you can almost hear the whispers of the past. The castle's crumbling stones tell tales of power, intrigue, and the passage of time. The village of Middleham, nestled in the valley below, adds a sense of tranquility and continuity to the scene. The castle's moat, now filled with water, reflects the changing seasons, adding a layer of depth and texture to the image. The trees in the foreground, bare in winter but lush and green in summer, frame the castle and add a sense of scale. Despite its derelict state, Middleham Castle remains an important historical site and a popular tourist attraction. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of England's past, inviting us to explore, learn, and appreciate the stories it holds within its walls. The image captures the essence of Middleham Castle as a symbol of history, a testament to the past, and a source of inspiration for generations to come. It invites us to reflect on the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to the future.
