Dover College, 1891: A Glimpse into the Past of Dover Priory, Kent, England This evocative photograph, published in The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper, Volume 44, July to December, 1891, offers a captivating glimpse into the history of Dover College in Dover, Kent, England. The image, of unknown origin, showcases the impressive architecture of the college, which was once part of the Dover Priory, a medieval monastery. The photograph presents a striking contrast between the grandeur of the past and the modernity of the present. The gatehouse, with its intricate stonework and tall, arched entrance, stands proudly against the backdrop of the ruins of the priory. The ivy-covered walls and the weathered stones bear testament to the passage of time, while the clear blue sky and the lush greenery surrounding the college suggest the beauty and tranquility of the English countryside. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the rich history of the site. Once a thriving monastery, Dover Priory was an important center of Christian learning and spirituality during the Middle Ages. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation, and its buildings were repurposed for secular use. In the 19th century, the site was transformed into Dover College, a public school that continues to educate students to this day. The photograph is a reminder of the enduring legacy of the past and the importance of preserving historical sites for future generations. It invites us to imagine the stories that lie hidden within the walls of Dover College and to appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable place.
