EDITORS COMMENTS
This Curious Obelisk stands tall and proud in Bewcastle Church Yard, a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque countryside of Cumberland. Located about 20 miles northeast of Carlisle, this enchanting engraving captures the essence of this ancient monument. Dating back to the 18th century, this print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating such a magnificent structure. Standing at an impressive height of 15 feet, it is made entirely from stone, with only a broken cross hinting at its former glory. The obelisk's presence adds an air of mystery and curiosity to the church yard. Its weathered exterior tells tales of bygone eras and whispers secrets lost to time. As part of Ruins and Ancient Buildings in England & Wales collection published by Alex Hogg in 1795, this artwork serves as a testament to our fascination with history and architectural marvels. Surrounded by ruins and old buildings, including a small castle reminiscent of fairy tales, Bewcastle Church Yard exudes antiquity and charm. The stone church nearby stands as another testament to centuries past while serving as a place for reflection and worship. This engraving transports us back through history, allowing us to appreciate the beauty found within these ancient structures. It serves as a reminder that even amidst ruination, there is still immense value in preserving our architectural heritage.
