EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction drawing by the talented artist Graham Sumner, depicting Benedictine Prior Simon de Walden of Tynemouth Priory in Tyne and Wear. Stepping back in time to the medieval era, this graphic illustration offers an intriguing glimpse into the life of a devoted monk during the late 13th century. With meticulous attention to detail, Sumner brings Prior Simon de Walden to life, capturing his serene countenance and humble monastic attire. The artist's skillful rendering transports us straight into the heart of Tynemouth Priory, where we can almost hear the echoes of ancient prayers and chants reverberating through its stone walls. As we delve deeper into this evocative image, it becomes evident that religion played a central role in medieval society. The devotion and dedication exuded by Prior Simon de Walden is palpable, reminding us of the profound influence that faith had on people's lives during this period. Historic England has done a commendable job preserving such invaluable pieces of our past. Through prints like these, they allow us to connect with history on a personal level – immersing ourselves in moments long gone but not forgotten. Graham Sumner's artwork serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece.
