The river leads the eye through the meadow towards the bridge, the village and the lantern of the church. In the foreground, the castle’s motte rises from the grass. I like the way this wider view holds the familiar scale of a small village alongside the traces of events that reached far beyond it.

In my words.
Fotheringhay is a small village with a history that seems far greater than its size. In my Digest I explored its streets, its church and the castle site beside the Nene. Seeing those places together from above gives that history a shape I can follow through the landscape.
Richard III was born at Fotheringhay Castle, and Mary, Queen of Scots was executed there in 1587. The surviving mound is its motte, once topped by a keep; the adjoining baileys formed enclosed courts. Together, these earthworks mark a motte and bailey castle later developed as a royal residence. I am drawn to the contrast between those momentous events and the everyday presence of houses, trees, fields and flowing water.
