EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of White Ladies Priory in Shropshire. From a south-eastern perspective, the viewer is treated to a mesmerizing view of the north wall of the Presbytery and Nave. The ruins of this late 12th-century church stand as a testament to the once thriving small nunnery that housed white ladies or Augustinian canonesses. Steeped in history, this sacred site holds an intriguing connection to Charles II himself. In 1651, during tumultuous times, the king sought refuge at nearby Boscobel House after visiting White Ladies Priory. It's fascinating to imagine him traversing these very grounds centuries ago. Photographer Peter Williams has masterfully captured not only the architectural marvels but also the spiritual essence that permeates through these ancient walls. The delicate arches and weathered stones tell tales of devotion and resilience. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time - witnessing both grandeur and decay intertwined harmoniously. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to reflect on those who came before us.
