EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Southorpe medieval settlement, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. Taken in 2015 by the talented photographer Dave MacLeod, this aerial shot showcases the remarkable remains of this once-thriving Lincolnshire village. The image reveals a fascinating tapestry of historical features that tell tales of centuries past. The deserted settlement is brought to life through earthworks and hollow ways, which wind their way through the landscape like ancient whispers from forgotten times. A moat can be seen encircling what was once a bustling center of activity, now transformed into an enchanting relic. One cannot help but marvel at the intricate ridge and furrow patterns etched across the land, evidence of long-abandoned agricultural practices. These marks bear witness to generations who toiled upon these fields, leaving behind traces that still resonate today. Dave MacLeod's expert eye has captured not only the physical remnants but also an intangible sense of history and mystery. The composition invites viewers on a journey through time as they explore every detail within this extraordinary photograph. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image from Historic England's collection, let us reflect on our shared heritage and appreciate how these vestiges connect us with those who came before us. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in abandonment, there is beauty and stories waiting to be discovered beneath our very feet.
