EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Stocks Outside Martock (All Saints) Church in Somerset, dating back to the 13th century. The talented artist CM Dixon skillfully portrays the magnificent facade of this Grade I listed building, showcasing its architectural beauty and rich history. The church's tower, which dates from around 1505, stands tall as a testament to centuries gone by. However, it bears witness to a tumultuous past when in July 1645, during the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell's troops used the church as a billet after their battle at Bridgwater. Sadly, this resulted in damage to this sacred place of worship. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but be transported back in time. The imposing entrance with its stone steps leads your imagination down a path of religious devotion and punishment that once took place here. The presence of stocks serves as a reminder of an era long gone by – a symbol of public humiliation and justice. This photograph not only captures the essence of Christianity but also represents England's rich religious heritage. It is an artistic portrayal that encapsulates both faith and history within one frame. With every glance at this remarkable print by CM Dixon, you are reminded of how architecture can tell stories spanning centuries – tales etched into stone for generations to come.
