EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print by Damian Grady showcases the haunting beauty of Colston Bassett church, also known as St Mary's Church, located in the serene Nottinghamshire countryside. The image captures the essence of time standing still, as the medieval ruins stand proudly against a backdrop of lush green fields and rolling hills. The remnants of this once majestic church evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue. Its weathered stone walls bear witness to centuries gone by, telling tales of devotion and resilience. The crumbling architecture hints at its former grandeur while offering a glimpse into an era long past. Surrounded by an isolated cemetery, where ancient tombstones silently mark the final resting place for generations before us, this scene invites contemplation and reflection. It is a reminder that even in decay, there is beauty to be found. Grady's expertly composed aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the scale and layout of this rural gem from above. The vastness surrounding it accentuates its solitude and adds depth to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph print from Historic England, we are transported back in time - invited to explore our own connection with history and marvel at how nature reclaims what was once man-made. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even in ruinous abandonment, there remains an enduring spirit within these ancient stones that continues to captivate our imagination today.
