Pevensey Castle, Pevensey, East Sussex, 1829. Artist: J Rogers
Pevensey Castle, Pevensey, East Sussex, 1829. A castle was first built at Pevensey early in the 4th century by the Romans, but it was destroyed by Saxon invaders in the late 5th century. Left derelict for some 600 years, the castle was then rebuilt by Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex (later King Harold of England). The Normans made some additions to the castle after 1066 but by Elizabethan times it had fallen into disrepair

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Pevensey Castle in East Sussex, England. The artist, J Rogers, skillfully depicts the ruins of this historic fortress that has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. Pevensey Castle's origins trace back to the Roman era when it was first constructed in the 4th century. However, it suffered destruction at the hands of Saxon invaders during the late 5th century. Left abandoned for over six centuries, it was later rebuilt by Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex and future King Harold of England. Over time, various additions were made to Pevensey Castle by the Normans after their conquest in 1066. Nevertheless, by Elizabethan times, neglect had taken its toll on this once-mighty fortification. In this engraving from 1829 by J Rogers and Henry Gastineau's collaboration as creators, we see a hauntingly beautiful depiction of Pevensey Castle's remains. The monochrome imagery adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to these ancient ruins set against a picturesque countryside backdrop. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of Pevensey Castle's architectural significance but also its historical importance as a witness to countless events throughout British history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in decayed grandeur lies an enduring legacy worth preserving for generations to come.
