EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the last surviving quintain on the village green of Offham, Kent, England, a relic of medieval pastimes. The quintain, an intriguing and challenging game played on horseback during the Middle Ages, is depicted here in its original setting. The game involved tilting at a wooden frame mounted on a post, with a rider attempting to knock off the quintain's head or a metal target attached to it, using a lance. The quintain's perforated end was designed to test the rider's skill and agility, as the swinging arms and shields would deflect the lance, forcing the rider to adjust his aim. The serene village green, dotted with trees and surrounded by picturesque cottages, provides a striking contrast to the dynamic scene of the medieval game. The quintain, with its weathered wood and worn edges, stands as a testament to the rich history and traditions of Offham and Kent. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the excitement and camaraderie of the medieval village, where games like quintain were an integral part of daily life. The quintain, a symbol of the past, continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the enduring allure of history and the joy of communal activities. This photograph, taken in the heart of England, is a treasure trove of history and a reminder of the simple pleasures of a bygone era.
