EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the majestic Reading Abbey, nestled in the heart of Berkshire. The image captures the ruins of the entrance to the east cloister, offering a glimpse into its medieval grandeur. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to an era when religion played a central role in society. Founded by King Henry I in 1121, Reading Abbey stood as a testament to faith and power for centuries. Its architectural marvels were admired by all who entered through its impressive archway. However, history took an unexpected turn with the dissolution of monasteries in 1537 under King Henry VIII's reign. The abbey transformed into a royal palace for this notorious king. Photographed by Henry Taunt in 1890, this image beautifully captures both the strength and vulnerability of these ancient ruins. Through his lens, Taunt allows us to witness how time has weathered these once-mighty walls while preserving their inherent beauty. As we contemplate this photograph print from Historic England, it is important to acknowledge that it holds more than just historical significance; it represents our collective heritage and cultural identity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst decay and change, remnants of our past continue to shape our present and inspire future generations.
