EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Owston Moated Grange, a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque Leicestershire countryside. The image showcases the remarkable preservation of this Augustinian monastic grange site, transporting us back to its medieval origins. The focal point of the photo is undoubtedly the moat that encircles the grange, creating an enchanting reflection of its ancient walls and buildings. This water-filled barrier not only served as a defensive measure but also added an air of tranquility to this sacred place. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to the intricate earthworks and enclosures surrounding the grange. These remnants from centuries past tell tales of agricultural activity and land management practices employed by those who once called this place home. The presence of ridge and furrow patterns etched into the landscape hints at a rich history rooted in farming traditions. It serves as a reminder that beyond its spiritual significance, Owston Moated Grange was also an important center for sustenance and self-sufficiency during medieval times. Damian Grady's expert composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and subtleties within this historical site. Through his lens, we are transported on a visual journey through time, immersing ourselves in Owston's storied past. This print from Historic England is more than just an image; it is a window into our heritage – reminding us to cherish these precious remnants from our collective history.
