EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when renowned English statesman and diarist, Samuel Pepys, paid a visit to the enigmatic Kits Cotty, also known as the 'Saxon Stone Circle,' located near Maidstone, Kent, on 24 March 1669. Pepys, born in 1633 and known for his detailed and insightful diary entries, expressed his delight upon encountering this ancient monument, writing, "I was mightily glad to see it." The large stones, standing proudly against the backdrop of the Kentish countryside, have long been a subject of fascination and intrigue. Archaeologists believe that this site, which predates the Roman occupation of Britain, may have been used for religious or ceremonial purposes by the Saxon people. As Pepys approached Kits Cotty, he would have been struck by the monument's impressive size and the sense of history that surrounded it. The landscape, dotted with rolling hills and verdant foliage, would have provided a picturesque setting for this momentous occasion. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the curiosity of one man intersected with the mysteries of history. The image invites us to ponder the significance of this ancient monument and to appreciate the sense of wonder that Pepys felt as he stood before it, immortalized in his diary entry for posterity.
