EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent ruins of Penrith Castle, located in Cumbria. Steeped in history and grandeur, this medieval fortress holds tales of bravery and transformation. Building work on this formidable structure began at the end of the 14th century under the watchful eye of Ralph Neville, a prominent figure who played a pivotal role in defending this region against Scottish invasions. Over time, Penrith Castle underwent a remarkable metamorphosis into an opulent residence fit for royalty. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, later known as Richard III, was instrumental in transforming these walls into a luxurious abode befitting his status. The castle's architectural splendor is evident even in its ruined state today. Keith Wood's expertly captured photograph allows us to marvel at the remnants of this once-majestic stronghold. The image transports us back through time to an era where knights roamed these halls and battles were fought valiantly. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the rich heritage that lies within Penrith Castle but also of our own connection to history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst decay and ruin, beauty can still be found - both in physical structures and within ourselves as we strive to preserve our past for future generations.
