Corner Dorset Norman Sherborne

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a charming corner of historic Sherborne, Dorset, England, from the 1950s. The image showcases the picturesque blend of ancient architecture and tranquil surroundings that have made this town a popular tourist destination for generations. At the heart of the scene, the part-ruined Norman Abbey stands proudly, its distinctive arches and intricate stonework bearing witness to the passage of time. The abbey, founded in 998 AD, is one of the most significant historical landmarks in the area, having served as a monastery, a fortress, and a place of worship over the centuries. Adjacent to the abbey, a row of quaint old almshouses can be seen, their ivy-covered walls and red-tiled roofs adding to the idyllic scene. These almshouses, which date back to the Tudor period, were once home to the town's less fortunate residents, providing them with shelter, food, and a sense of community. As the sun casts a warm glow over the scene, the peaceful atmosphere of this corner of Sherborne is palpable. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to thrive in this beautiful corner of England.
