EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Stokesay Castle, nestled in the picturesque town of Craven Arms, Shropshire. Standing proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and framed by a clear blue sky, this medieval marvel is a testament to centuries past. The focus of the image lies on the North tower and West range, showcasing their intricate architectural details that have withstood the test of time. The castle's imposing presence evokes a sense of awe and wonder, transporting us back to an era where defence was paramount. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this formidable fortress is the delicate silhouette of a church in the background. This unexpected combination highlights both the strength and gracefulness found within this historic site. The use of timber throughout Stokesay Castle adds warmth and charm to its otherwise robust appearance. It serves as a reminder that even fortifications can possess an element of elegance. Photographer Jon Wyand has masterfully captured not only the physical attributes but also the essence and spirit that make Stokesay Castle such an enchanting destination for history enthusiasts worldwide. Through this stunning visual representation, we are invited to explore our rich heritage while appreciating how these ancient structures continue to inspire admiration today.
