EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Abbey Mill in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, in the year 2010. The mill holds a significant place in literature as it served as inspiration for Dinah Craik's fictional Abel Fletcher's Mill in her renowned novel "John Halifax, Gentleman". The picturesque town of Norton Bury depicted in the book is based on none other than Tewkesbury itself. The image showcases the timeless beauty of this medieval structure nestled by the riverbank. Its exterior exudes an air of history and religious significance, with Tewkesbury Abbey - also known as The Abbey of the Blessed Virgin Mary - standing majestically nearby. As water flows gracefully over a weir, one can almost imagine hearing its soothing sound echoing through time. Photographer Peter Thompson masterfully captured this scene, emphasizing both color and concept to transport viewers into a world where past and present harmoniously coexist. This photograph not only celebrates Britain's rich heritage but also highlights how geographical features can shape our cultural identity. While admiring this print, one cannot help but appreciate how art intertwines with literature and geography to create something truly extraordinary. It serves as a reminder that even ordinary buildings like Abbey Mill can hold immense historical value and inspire generations through various forms of media.
