EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marjory L Wight transports us back in time to the enchanting ruins of Byland Abbey. Located in the picturesque village of Byland with Wass, nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Ryedale, North Yorkshire, this medieval masterpiece stands as a testament to centuries past. Through the weathered arches and crumbling stones, we catch a glimpse of history unfolding before our eyes. The west door of the church at Byland Abbey serves as a portal into an era when Cistercian monks once roamed these hallowed grounds. Their devotion and craftsmanship are evident in every intricate detail that remains. As we peer through this ancient doorway, our imaginations run wild with tales from long ago. We can almost hear whispered prayers echoing through empty corridors and feel the weight of centuries-old secrets lingering in the air. Marjory L Wight's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility of this architectural marvel. It reminds us that even in decay, beauty persists – reminding us to cherish our heritage and preserve it for future generations. Let this remarkable photograph transport you on a journey through time - where abbey ruins become windows into forgotten worlds; where silence speaks volumes; where history comes alive with each passing glance.
