EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the rehearsal of a medieval jousting event. Dr Christopher Woodard, the skilled Master of Horses, takes center stage as he is led by pages through the picturesque grounds of Eridge Castle in Sussex. The year is 1966, and this grand display is being prepared to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the historic Battle of Hastings. Dressed in magnificent armor with an impressive plume adorning his helmet, Dr Woodard embodies the essence of a valiant knight on horseback. His noble steed stands tall and strong beside him, ready for action. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the intricate chain mail to every piece of protective gear meticulously worn by both knight and horse. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, it becomes evident that not only are we witnessing a rehearsal but also a true dedication to historical accuracy. This image captures not just an event but also showcases the passion and commitment behind bringing history alive. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and nostalgia to this photograph while emphasizing its timeless quality. It serves as a reminder that even though decades have passed since that day in October 1966 when these preparations were underway at Eridge Castle, our fascination with medieval times remains unwavering.
