EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Castle Hill in Thetford. Standing proudly amidst a lush green landscape, this historic site holds within its walls centuries of rich history and intriguing tales. At the heart of this image is the magnificent motte and bailey castle, a testament to medieval architecture and military prowess. Its imposing presence evokes images of knights in shining armor and epic battles fought for honor and glory. Surrounding the castle is an Iron Age earthwork enclosure, revealing traces of ancient civilizations that once thrived on this very spot. The intricate details etched into the land tell stories of early settlements, their daily lives intertwined with nature's rhythm. Adding to its allure, Castle Hill also served as a site for an Augustinian friary. The remnants of this religious institution can be seen nestled amongst the ruins, offering glimpses into a bygone era where faith played an integral role in shaping communities. Photographer Damian Grady has masterfully captured these elements from above, providing us with a unique perspective that highlights both grandeur and subtlety. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness the layers upon layers of human existence that have left their mark on this remarkable place. This print serves as a window into our past – an invitation to explore history's mysteries while appreciating the enduring beauty found within England's landscapes.
