EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Mary Winch LRPS transports us back in time to the picturesque village green of Offham, Kent. Standing tall and proud in the center of the frame is a magnificent wooden structure known as a quintain. This medieval relic would have served as a training tool for knights, allowing them to practice their swordstrokes with precision and skill. The quintain's significance lies not only in its historical value but also in its architectural beauty. The intricate craftsmanship evident in every detail showcases the mastery of medieval woodwork. Its weathered surface tells tales of countless battles and training sessions that took place centuries ago. Surrounded by lush greenery, this listed monument stands as a testament to Offham's rich heritage. It serves as a reminder of an era when chivalry reigned supreme and knights were revered figures within society. Mary Winch LRPS has expertly captured the essence of this remarkable piece of history through her lens. Her keen eye for composition allows viewers to appreciate both the grandeur of the quintain itself and its harmonious integration into Offham's idyllic surroundings. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back to a time long gone, where knights once roamed these lands, honing their skills under the watchful eyes of their mentors. Mary Winch LRPS invites us on this journey through time with her evocative photograph – an exquisite tribute to Offham's enduring legacy.
