EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Brough Castle and the adjacent Brough (Verteris) Roman fort and civil settlement in Cumbria. Taken by talented photographer Emma Trevarthen in 2018, this stunning print showcases a harmonious blend of ancient history and medieval architecture.
The image transports us to a different era, where we can marvel at the intricate earthwork that once formed the foundation of the Roman fort. The remnants of this formidable structure stand as a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of our ancestors. As we gaze upon these remains from above, it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe for those who walked these grounds centuries ago.
Nestled beside the Roman fort lies Brough Castle, an imposing medieval stronghold that has withstood the test of time. Its majestic stone walls rise proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills, offering a glimpse into an era filled with knights in shining armor and epic battles fought for honor and glory.
Emma Trevarthen's masterful composition captures every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of Brough Castle and its intimate connection to its ancient neighbor. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this already enchanting scene, evoking emotions that transport us back through history.
As we admire this print from Historic England, let us reflect on our rich heritage preserved within these magnificent structures. They serve as reminders that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, there are places where time stands still – where stories whisper through crumbling stones – inviting us to step into their embrace and immerse ourselves in their extraordinary tales.
