EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print showcases the now-demolished dovecote of Stokesay Castle, located in the picturesque county of Shropshire. Painted during the late 19th century by the talented artist Steven Baker, this artwork offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The dovecote depicted in this painting was once an integral part of Stokesay Castle's landscape, standing as a testament to its rich history. With meticulous brushstrokes and vibrant hues, Baker skillfully captures the architectural details and serene surroundings that made this structure so enchanting. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur that once graced Stokesay Castle. The dovecote stands tall against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. While it is disheartening to know that this magnificent structure no longer exists today, through Baker's artistry we can still appreciate its splendor. This print serves as both a visual record and an homage to the historical significance of Stokesay Castle. Historic England has preserved this extraordinary artwork within their inventory under number 88018007. By safeguarding such treasures from our past, they ensure that future generations can continue to marvel at these glimpses into history's tapestry.
