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.
