EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Battle Abbey, located in East Sussex, England. Taken in 2009 by Ethel Davies, it showcases the remains of this partially ruined Benedictine abbey that stands as a testament to history. Battle Abbey holds great significance as it was built on the very site where the historic Battle of Hastings took place in 1066. The abbey was dedicated to St Martin of Tours and served as a religious order for centuries. Today, its grand entrance and towering stone structure continue to evoke awe and admiration. Davies' expertly composed image allows us to appreciate both the exterior beauty and historical importance of this iconic landmark. It transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into an era when Normans clashed with Saxons on these grounds. The juxtaposition between then and now is striking; while time has taken its toll on the abbey's physical state, its ruins still exude an undeniable charm. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites contemplation about the passage of time. Ethel Davies' skillful lens has immortalized Battle Abbey's enduring spirit through this horizontal composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of its architectural splendor but also of the stories etched within its walls - tales that have shaped our understanding of English history for generations to come.
