EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grandeur and history of Donnington Castle, a medieval fortification nestled in the picturesque town of Newbury, Berkshire. Dating back to 1386, the castle was built by Sir Richard de Abbesbury and has since stood the test of time, albeit in mostly ruined form. The image, taken by renowned photographer Henry Taunt around the turn of the 20th century, showcases the impressive Great Gatehouse, a three-storey building with two round towers that once guarded the entrance to the castle. The intricate stonework and the towers' imposing presence transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past. Donnington Castle's rich history is deeply intertwined with the political and social landscape of medieval England. The castle served as a strategic stronghold during times of conflict, and its walls have borne witness to numerous battles and sieges. Over the centuries, it has undergone various transformations, from a royal palace to a fortress, and finally, to a picturesque ruin. Today, the castle is in the care of English Heritage, ensuring that its legacy endures for future generations. The Great Gatehouse stands as a testament to the architectural prowess and the historical significance of Donnington Castle. This photograph, taken over a century ago by Henry Taunt, offers us a unique perspective of this magnificent structure, inviting us to imagine the stories that lie within its ancient walls.
