EDITORS COMMENTS

This evocative photograph, titled "Waylands Smithy, Ashbury, Oxfordshire," captures the mystical allure of Waylands Smithy, a Neolithic chambered long barrow nestled in the English countryside. Taken by renowned photographer Henry Taunt in the early 20th century, the image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the site before its restoration following excavations in the 1960s. The barrow, believed to be around 4,000 years old, is named after Wayland the Smith, a legendary blacksmith from English folklore who was said to live within the mound and repair horses' shoes in exchange for offerings. The image reveals the entrance to the barrow, framed by two intrigued onlookers, a lady and a gentleman, who sit casually on the stones. Their fashionable attire, reminiscent of the Edwardian era, starkly contrasts with the ancient earthwork behind them. The Neolithic monument, with its distinctive capstone and surrounding kerb stones, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills, evoking a sense of history and wonder. The photograph not only serves as a testament to the rich archaeological heritage of England but also highlights the enduring fascination with the mysteries of the past. Henry Taunt's masterful composition invites us to imagine the stories and legends that have been woven around Waylands Smithy over the centuries. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our historical sites and the role they play in shaping our cultural identity.
