This aerial print showcases the remarkable St Augustine's Abbey and St Augustine's College in Kent, taken by the talented photographer Damian Grady. The image transports us back to medieval times, as we witness the breathtaking ruins of this historic site. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the majestic abbey, with its weathered stone walls standing tall against time. The intricate details of its architecture are still visible, despite centuries of wear and tear. It serves as a poignant reminder of England's rich religious heritage. Adjacent to the abbey stands St Augustine's College, an esteemed educational institution that has witnessed countless generations pass through its gates since its establishment. Its grand gatehouse adds a touch of elegance to the scene, complementing the ancient ruins perfectly. Grady's expert use of aerial photography allows us to appreciate both structures from a unique perspective. We can admire how they harmoniously coexist within their surroundings – remnants from different eras gracefully intertwined.
