EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Wharram Percy Medieval Village: A Glimpse into the Past Wharram Percy Medieval Village, located in the serene countryside of North Yorkshire, England, offers a captivating glimpse into the past. This reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn from Historic England brings to life the Norman church and semicircular apse, along with the vicarage to the south, as they once stood in the late 12th century. The village, nestled in the rolling hills, was once a thriving community during the medieval period. The church, with its imposing Norman architecture, was the spiritual heart of the village. Its intricately designed semicircular apse and the adjacent vicarage reflect the religious significance and the social hierarchy of the time. The Norman church, with its heavy stone walls and pointed arches, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rural landscape. The apse, a semicircular extension at the eastern end of the church, was a common architectural feature in Norman churches, symbolizing the connection between the earthly and heavenly realms. The vicarage, located to the south of the church, housed the priest and his family, underscoring the importance of the religious institution in the community. This illustration by Peter Dunn, a member of the English Heritage Graphics Team, provides an invaluable record of the architectural and historical significance of Wharram Percy Medieval Village. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of England's past, inviting us to explore the stories and traditions that shaped the lives of those who once called this place home.
