EDITORS COMMENTS
Thornholme Priory: A Glimpse into the Medieval Past This evocative image, created by renowned graphic artist Judith Dobie of English Heritage, transports us back in time to the mid-14th century and the tranquil setting of Thornholme Priory in Humberside. The priory, founded in the 12th century, was a significant religious and agricultural institution in the rural landscape of medieval England. At the heart of this scene, the imposing gatehouse stands proudly, its tall, arched entranceway a testament to the grandeur and importance of the priory. Beyond the gatehouse, the expansive west precinct stretches out, dotted with the familiar shapes of medieval farm buildings. These structures, with their thatched roofs and simple lines, were essential for the self-sufficient monastic community, providing shelter for livestock and storage for the abundant crops grown on the priory's lands. The monks of Thornholme Priory were responsible for the efficient management of the farm, which was a vital source of income for the community. They would have cultivated the fertile soil, tended to their livestock, and harvested the crops, all while adhering to the religious rules and routines of their order. The rural setting of Thornholme Priory, with its picturesque farmland and peaceful surroundings, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a medieval monastic community. This evocative image, brought to life by the skilled hand of Judith Dobie, invites us to imagine the sounds, smells, and sensations of this bygone era and to appreciate the rich history and heritage of England's past.
