EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the twelfth century, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and architectural marvels of Sherborne Old Castle in Dorset. The expertly crafted reconstruction drawing by Philip Corke transports us to a moment shortly after the castle's completion, allowing us to envision its outer courtyard as it may have appeared centuries ago. The focal point of this illustration is undoubtedly the majestic Great Tower, standing tall and proud at the center of the scene. Its imposing presence speaks volumes about the power and influence held within these ancient walls. To its right, we can see an array of buildings that make up the Central Buildings - a bustling hub of activity during medieval times. As our eyes wander through this intricate depiction, we are drawn towards various elements that bring life to this historical setting. The Great Hall stands regally on one side, promising lavish feasts and gatherings fit for royalty. Adjacent to it lies a cluster of kitchens where tantalizing aromas would waft through their chimneys, tempting all who passed by. Completing this vivid picture is a well, serving as a vital source of water for both inhabitants and defenders alike. It symbolizes self-sufficiency and resilience in an era where survival often depended on access to such resources. Through Philip Corke's artistic vision, we are transported back in time; able to appreciate not only Sherborne Old Castle's architectural magnificence but also catch glimpses into daily life within its walls during medieval times.
