EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Cleeve Abbey, located in the serene county of Somerset. The monastery, founded in 1198 and dissolved in 1537, holds a significant place in English history as one of the last remaining monastic buildings from that era. Damian Grady's expert lens has perfectly encapsulated the essence of this architectural marvel. The image showcases the abbey's intricate design and remarkable preservation despite its age. From above, we can appreciate the symmetrical layout with its imposing central tower surrounded by cloisters and courtyards. The lush greenery surrounding the site adds to its ethereal charm, creating an atmosphere that transports us back to medieval times. Cistercian influences are evident throughout this magnificent structure, characterized by simplicity and functionality. Every stone seems to whisper tales of devotion and spiritual enlightenment that once thrived within these walls. Thanks to Historic England's dedication to preserving our heritage sites, future generations will have a chance to witness firsthand this extraordinary piece of history frozen in time. This print serves as a testament not only to Damian Grady's artistic talent but also to our collective responsibility towards safeguarding our cultural treasures for years to come. As we gaze upon this breathtaking image, let it remind us of the enduring power of human creativity and spirituality - an everlasting tribute to those who built Cleeve Abbey centuries ago.
