1. Wharram Percy Medieval Village: A Glimpse into the Past through Stephen Conlin's Reconstruction Drawing Wharram Percy Medieval Village, located in the serene countryside of North Yorkshire, England, offers a unique opportunity to delve into the rich history of the Middle Ages. This aerial view reconstruction drawing by Stephen Conlin brings to life the South Manor as it may have appeared in the early 13th century. Stephen Conlin, a renowned architectural illustrator, has meticulously recreated the South Manor based on archaeological evidence and historical records. The drawing reveals a complex layout of buildings, including a hall house, service buildings, and a chapel, arranged around a central courtyard. The intricate details, such as the thatched roofs, timber-framed structures, and the winding pathways, transport us back in time. The South Manor, an essential part of Wharram Percy Medieval Village, was once home to a prosperous farming community. The village, which was inhabited from the 11th to the 16th centuries, is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument and is under the care of Historic England. This illustration not only showcases the architectural prowess of the medieval period but also highlights the importance of preserving our historical heritage. It invites us to imagine the daily lives of those who once called Wharram Percy home and to appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the past. Stephen Conlin's reconstruction drawing is a testament to the enduring allure of the Middle Ages and serves as a reminder of the fascinating stories that lie hidden within the walls of our ancient sites.
