EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Gateway of Battle Abbey, a partially ruined Benedictine abbey located in Battle, East Sussex. Built on the historic site of the Battle of Hastings, this Grade I listed building is dedicated to St Martin of Tours. The image was captured in 1898 and featured in "Our Own Country, Volume VI" by Cassell and Company. The photograph beautifully captures the architectural splendor of the gateway with its castellated design and intricate details. Standing against a backdrop of lush greenery, it exudes an aura of history and spirituality that transports viewers back to medieval times. Intriguingly, amidst this grandeur stands a man accompanied by his loyal canine companion. Their presence adds a touch of human connection to an otherwise serene scene. It sparks curiosity about their purpose for being there - perhaps they are visitors exploring the abbey grounds or locals enjoying a leisurely stroll through history. This image serves as both a visual testament to British heritage and an invitation for contemplation. It reminds us of our roots steeped in Christianity while also highlighting the enduring beauty found within ruins. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how time has shaped not only buildings but also our understanding and appreciation for them.
