1940s Medieval Reuse Timber Framed Building
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of St Mary's Court, a remarkable timber-framed medieval building nestled in the heart of Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire. Dating back to the 15th century, this architectural gem has stood the test of time and witnessed centuries of history unfold within its sturdy walls. In this particular snapshot from 1943, we see St Mary's Court taking on an unexpected role as a garage. A stark contrast to its original purpose, this image showcases how buildings can adapt and evolve with changing times. The juxtaposition between the ancient structure and modern automobiles parked inside creates a fascinating visual narrative. The intricate details of the timber frame are beautifully highlighted in this photograph - each beam seems to whisper stories from bygone eras. The craftsmanship displayed in every joint is a testament to the skill and dedication of those who built it centuries ago. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how St Mary's Court has gracefully embraced change while retaining its historical charm. It serves as a reminder that our built heritage is not static; rather, it evolves alongside us, offering glimpses into different chapters of our collective past. G. B Woods' lens has expertly captured both the resilience and versatility embodied by St Mary's Court during one fleeting moment in history. This print stands as a tribute to architectural ingenuity and reminds us that even amidst transformation, echoes from our medieval roots continue to resonate through time.
