EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of St Mawes Castle, nestled in the charming coastal town of Cornwall. The focus lies on a remarkable detail - the coat of arms that proudly adorns the entrance to this historic fortress. Standing tall and strong, it serves as a testament to its formidable past. Built during Tudor times, St Mawes Castle was designed with one purpose in mind: defence. Its imposing stone structure and fortified gate stand as a reminder of an era when protection was paramount. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining the countless battles fought within these walls. The craftsmanship evident in every inch of this castle is awe-inspiring. The delicate details etched into the coat of arms speak volumes about the pride and heritage associated with St Mawes Castle. It symbolizes not only strength but also nobility. Mike Hesketh-Roberts has masterfully captured this moment in history through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its architectural grandeur and historical significance. This print serves as a window into our past, reminding us of the importance placed on fortification and security during turbulent times. As we admire this work by Historic England, let us reflect on how far we have come while cherishing our rich cultural heritage preserved within these ancient stones.
