EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marjory L Wight transports us back in time to the serene and picturesque Rievaulx Abbey. Taken in the 1920s, this image showcases the abbey's timeless beauty and rich history. The view from the south-west angle allows us to appreciate the grandeur of this medieval Cistercian monastery nestled amidst North Yorkshire's idyllic Ryedale region. The foreground features Abbey Farm, a charming rural landscape that perfectly complements the abbey's majestic presence. The farm adds a touch of rustic charm, reminding us of the symbiotic relationship between man and nature throughout centuries past. Rievaulx Abbey itself stands as a testament to human craftsmanship and devotion. Its weathered stone walls tell stories of monks who once inhabited these hallowed grounds, seeking solace and spiritual enlightenment within its sacred halls. As we gaze upon this scenic photograph, we are transported into an era where simplicity reigned supreme. The peacefulness exuded by Rievaulx Abbey is palpable; one can almost hear echoes of ancient chants carried on gentle breezes through its arches. Marjory L Wight has masterfully captured not just an architectural marvel but also a glimpse into our collective heritage. This print serves as both a window into history and a reminder of our connection with those who came before us. Let it serve as an invitation for all to explore and appreciate England's rich cultural tapestry woven within sites like Rievaulx Abbey -
