EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Sanctuary Stone, also known as the Monks Stone, situated at the edge of the North Sea in Tynemouth, England, during the 1930s. The stone, a relic of Tynemouth Priory's rich history, served as a sanctuary for those seeking protection from the law or the elements. Connected to the priory by a causeway, the stone was a symbol of hope and refuge for weary travelers and pilgrims. The image presents a serene and tranquil scene, with the stone standing proudly against the backdrop of the vast, rolling waves. However, this sense of calm was short-lived, as the stone was tragically blown down in a severe storm not long after this photograph was taken. The storm, a reminder of the unyielding power of nature, left the stone shattered and broken, a poignant reminder of the transience of even the most enduring structures. The stone's connection to Tynemouth Priory dates back to the 12th century, with records indicating that it was used as a place of refuge for those seeking sanctuary from the customs officials who patrolled the nearby river Tyne. The stone's significance extends beyond its historical importance, as it continues to be a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and visitors alike, who are drawn to its haunting beauty and the stories it holds. Despite its current state, the Sanctuary Stone remains an enduring symbol of hope, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit. This photograph serves as a testament to the stone's rich history and the stories it holds, a reminder of a time when the world moved at a slower pace and the natural world held a greater sway over our lives.
