EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive transports us back to the enchanting world of Blackfriars, Hereford in 1907. The image captures a mesmerizing view beyond the crumbling ruins of Blackfriars Friary, offering a glimpse into the past that is both haunting and awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent 14th century Preaching Cross standing proudly amidst the remnants of time. Its weathered stone bears witness to centuries of history and echoes with tales untold. This cross serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone, when religious sermons were delivered from its sacred steps. The medieval charm exuded by this photograph is undeniable. It evokes images of monks silently treading through these hallowed grounds, their prayers mingling with whispers carried on gentle breezes. The priory's dilapidated walls seem to whisper secrets only they hold - stories etched in every crack and crevice. In this snapshot frozen in time, we find ourselves transported to an era where faith and devotion intertwined with architectural grandeur. We can almost hear the distant echoes of hymns sung within these ancient walls or imagine witnessing fervent worshipers seeking solace among these very ruins. Historic England Archive has once again gifted us with a window into our rich heritage through this remarkable photo print. It invites us to reflect upon our collective past while marveling at how time shapes landscapes and narratives alike.
