EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jonathan Bailey showcases the remarkable beauty of Finchale Priory in Durham. Stepping through the doorway at the west end of the nave, one is instantly transported to a bygone era steeped in medieval history and religious devotion. The image captures the entire length of this magnificent church, allowing us to marvel at its architectural grandeur and intricate details. Finchale Priory stands as a testament to centuries of spiritual significance, with its origins dating back to 1196. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the countless prayers whispered within these hallowed walls and the lives that were shaped within its sacred confines. The play of light filtering through stained glass windows casts an ethereal glow on weathered stone pillars and worn wooden pews. It evokes a sense of tranquility and reverence that can only be experienced firsthand. Jonathan Bailey's keen eye for composition brings forth every nuance and dimension present in this historical gem. His skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the physical structure but also its emotional impact on those who visit or simply admire from afar. This print serves as a visual portal into our rich heritage, inviting us to reflect upon our collective past while igniting curiosity about what lies beyond these ancient thresholds.
