EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a birds-eye view of Castle Hedingham in Essex, showcasing its remarkable preservation as one of England's finest Norman keeps. The castle's construction dates back to around 1140, with the keep itself being built between 1130 and 1140. This stunning aerial perspective reveals the different elements of the castle: A - the inner bailey situated on a mount, B - the impressive keep, and C - the outer bailey. The image is an illustration taken from "A History of Everyday Things in England" authored by Marjorie and C. D. B Quennell in 1931. Published by B. T. Batsford in London, this book delves into English history from 1066 to 1499, providing valuable insights into various aspects of everyday life during that time period. The photograph not only showcases architectural beauty but also highlights its historical significance as a fortification during medieval times. It offers viewers a glimpse into the Middle Ages and allows them to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in constructing such castles and their strategic importance. This particular print is part of Charles Henry Bourne Quennell's collection at The Print Collector, which specializes in preserving historical images for educational purposes rather than commercial use. Its inclusion here serves as a testament to Castle Hedingham's enduring allure throughout centuries while reminding us of our rich cultural heritage embedded within these magnificent structures.
