EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the enigmatic beauty of Frisby, a long-forgotten medieval settlement nestled near Billesdon in Leicestershire. Damian Grady's lens unveils a mesmerizing sight, showcasing both the deserted village and its intriguing earthworks that have stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this image, our imagination transports us to an era long gone, where bustling streets once echoed with the laughter and chatter of villagers. Now abandoned, Frisby reveals itself as an ethereal ghost town frozen in time. The remnants of stone foundations peek through overgrown grasses, hinting at former dwellings that housed generations past. But it is not just the village itself that captivates; it is also the surrounding landscape known as ridge and furrow. These undulating patterns etched into the earth tell tales of ancient farming practices from centuries ago. Each ridge represents a plowed strip used for cultivating crops by our ancestors who toiled tirelessly on this very land. Damian Grady's masterful composition invites us to reflect on history's ebb and flow while marveling at nature's ability to reclaim what was once lost. This print serves as a poignant reminder of human transience against nature's enduring presence. In preserving this visual testament to Frisby's forgotten past, Historic England ensures that future generations can connect with their heritage and appreciate how even seemingly desolate landscapes hold stories waiting patiently to be discovered anew.
