EDITORS COMMENTS
Poulton Priory, Gloucestershire: A Snippet of History in an Epochal Image Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Gloucestershire lies the enchanting Poulton Priory, also known as the Priory of St. Mary. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, showcases a distant view of the priory, which was originally founded as a chantry chapel in 1337. The chapel was the brainchild of Sir Thomas Seymour, a nobleman who sought to honor the memory of the deceased and provide for the spiritual well-being of his family and community. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history of this remarkable place. In the foreground, the majestic mansion, built in 1897 by Sir Arthur Blomfield, stands proudly, a testament to the architectural prowess of the era. The mansion, with its grandeur and elegance, contrasts beautifully with the ancient ruins of the priory in the background, providing a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the interplay between the old and the new. The priory, which was once a place of worship and refuge, now stands as a symbol of history, resilience, and the enduring allure of the past. The image invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic site, which continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
