EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the essence of history frozen in time. The image showcases Alstoe Moot and a portion of Alsthorpe, two ancient settlements nestled within the picturesque county of Rutland. Taken by talented photographer Dave MacLeod in 2015, this print transports us back to an era long gone. The scene unfolds with remarkable clarity, revealing the remnants of a deserted medieval village etched into the landscape below. Earthworks tell tales of past lives lived within these now-abandoned walls. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing sight from above, it's impossible not to feel a sense of wonder and curiosity about those who once called this place home. Alstoe Moot stands proudly at the center, its motte rising majestically against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. This focal point serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, echoes from our ancestors still resonate through time. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured photograph invites us to explore and appreciate England's rich heritage. It encourages us to delve deeper into our collective past and ponder what stories lie hidden beneath each crumbling stone or overgrown path. As we admire this stunning print from Historic England, let it serve as a reminder that our connection to history is both tangible and profound; it shapes who we are today while guiding us towards an enlightened future rooted in understanding and appreciation for those who came before us.
