EDITORS COMMENTS
The Norman Tower, 1898: A Glimpse into Medieval Majesty". This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Bury St Edmunds in 1898. The focal point is none other than the magnificent Norman Tower, an iconic gateway that leads us into the medieval abbey. Built between 1120 and 1148 under Abbot Anselm's watchful eye, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to centuries past. The tower's history is etched in its weathered stones, having endured damage over time only to be rebuilt with unwavering determination from 1361 onwards. As we gaze upon it through this vintage lens, we are transported to an era where knights roamed these streets and monks sought solace within its hallowed walls. The surrounding avenue beckons us towards a bygone age; a road less traveled but filled with stories waiting to be discovered. In the distance, women stroll along the lane, their presence adding a touch of life amidst the historical grandeur. This engraving hails from "Our Own Country". Volume V - a literary treasure published by Cassell and Company Ltd in London during Victorian times. It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an educational tool for those seeking insight into British heritage. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not just its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us across time. This image invites us on a journey through history – one that unravels layers of culture, architecture, and human experiences that have shaped our present-day understanding of Bury St Edmunds.
