EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of King Charles Castle, located on the picturesque Tresco Island in the Isles of Scilly. The image focuses on a window that adorns the North West side of this historic castle, providing a glimpse into its rich past. Dating back to the mid-16th century, King Charles Castle was initially built as a coastal artillery fortification. Over time, it became garrisoned and earned its name due to its association with Civil War Royalists. Today, only ruins remain, but they serve as a testament to the castle's former grandeur and strategic importance. The intricate details of this window showcase elements from both Stuart and Tudor architectural styles. Its weathered stone frame tells stories of battles fought and victories won within these ancient walls. As one gazes through this window opening, their imagination is transported back in time to an era when soldiers guarded these ramparts against potential invaders. Photographer Mike Hesketh-Roberts has expertly captured not just an image but also a piece of history frozen in time. This photograph invites viewers to appreciate the beauty found amidst decay and contemplate the resilience of structures that have witnessed centuries pass by. Through this remarkable composition, we are reminded that even though King Charles Castle may be reduced to ruins today, it continues to stand tall as a symbol of strength and endurance against the testaments of time.
