EDITORS COMMENTS
Ightham Mote in Kent, England, is a magnificent medieval manor house nestled amongst lush greenery and picturesque surroundings. The main entrance of this historic building, as captured in this stunning photograph by Terry Parker, exudes an air of grandeur and mystery. The crenellated gatehouse, with its intricate stonework and tall, arched entrance, stands proudly over the paved pathway leading up to the mote. Ightham Mote, a Grade I listed building, is a prime example of late medieval architecture and has been preserved for generations to enjoy. The mote, a man-made body of water enclosed by an earthen bank and a moat, adds to the allure of this enchanting site. The building's rich heritage can be traced back to the 14th century, and it has since undergone various transformations, including being used as a monastery, a family home, and even a school. The main entrance, with its worn-down pavement and cobblestones, tells a story of the passage of time and the countless feet that have walked upon it. The image invites us to imagine the stories of the people who have passed through these gates and the secrets that the mote holds within its walls. The photograph, published by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a real postcard from the past, offering a glimpse into the history and beauty of Ightham Mote in Kent.
