EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ancient Bewcastle Cross standing proudly in the churchyard of Cumberland, England. Believed to be England's oldest sun-dial, this historical monument dates back to around 670 AD and serves as a fascinating reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity in measuring time using simple yet effective instruments.
The intricate carvings on the cross tell a story of centuries past, where science and religion intertwined to create tools for practical use. The sun's rays cast shadows upon the dial, allowing people to track the passage of time with remarkable accuracy.
Standing tall against the backdrop of history, Bewcastle Cross is not just a physical structure but a symbol of human curiosity and innovation. It reminds us that even in ancient times, people were constantly seeking ways to understand and harness natural phenomena for their benefit.
As we gaze upon this timeless piece of heritage captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are transported back in time to an era where measurement was both an art and a science. Let us marvel at the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating such a remarkable piece of history that still stands strong today.
