EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Woodspring Priory, nestled near Weston-super-Mare in North Somerset. Founded around 1210, this ancient house of Augustinian canons exudes an air of mystery and tranquility. Jim Hancock's expertly captured aerial shot allows us a unique perspective on the remains of this medieval priory, now integrated into a working farm. The standout feature is undoubtedly the majestic tower of the church, proudly reaching towards the heavens. Its weathered stone walls tell tales of centuries past, whispering secrets only history can reveal. The surrounding landscape showcases nature's embrace as it gently surrounds this architectural gem. As we gaze upon this photograph from July 1969, we are transported to a bygone era where monks once roamed these hallowed grounds in devotion and contemplation. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to reflect on the passage of time. Jim Hancock's lens has immortalized not just bricks and mortar but also emotions evoked by such historical treasures. This image sparks curiosity about those who lived within these walls long ago - their hopes, dreams, and daily rituals that shaped their lives. Let this print be a window into another world; one where spirituality intertwined with architecture amidst idyllic countryside surroundings.
