EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic King Charles Castle, nestled on the picturesque island of Tresco in the Isles of Scilly. Standing proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery and surrounded by crystal-clear waters, this enchanting castle is steeped in history and mystery. Dating back to the mid-16th century, King Charles Castle was originally built as a coastal artillery fort to protect against potential invasions. Over time, it became garrisoned by Civil War Royalists, lending its name to this iconic structure. The ruins that remain today serve as a poignant reminder of its storied past. Photographer Mike Hesketh-Roberts skillfully frames the castle from the North West perspective, capturing its grandeur and architectural details with precision. The stone walls weathered by centuries stand tall amidst nature's embrace, creating an awe-inspiring sight for all who behold it. The image transports viewers back in time to an era when Stuart and Tudor influences shaped England's fortifications. It evokes a sense of wonderment at how such structures were constructed without modern technology or machinery. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print from Historic England, we are reminded not only of our rich historical heritage but also of the enduring beauty that stands resilient through generations.
