EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the magnificent Pickering Castle, located in North Yorkshire. Steeped in history, this castle dates back to the 11th century and features both a motte and bailey castle from that era, as well as a shell keep castle built in the 13th century. The image beautifully captures the unique architectural elements of these structures. The motte and bailey design is evident in the earthwork visible from above. This traditional fortification style consists of a raised mound (the motte) with a surrounding enclosed courtyard (the bailey). These defensive features were crucial during medieval times for protecting inhabitants within its walls. In contrast, the shell keep castle stands tall and proud at another section of Pickering Castle. Its distinctive circular shape is clearly depicted in this photograph, showcasing its strategic position overlooking the surrounding landscape. The shell keep was constructed later on to provide additional protection against potential invaders. Emma Trevarthen's skillful photography brings out every detail of this historic site, allowing viewers to appreciate its grandeur from an entirely new perspective. Whether you are an architecture enthusiast or simply curious about England's rich heritage, this print serves as a remarkable reminder of Pickering Castle's significance throughout centuries past.
