This print showcases the exquisite Norman Lectern, a true masterpiece of medieval craftsmanship. Located in the Church of St Egwin, nestled amidst the idyllic surroundings of Norton and Lenchwick in Worcestershire, this remarkable piece dates back to 1180-1190. The intricate detailing on this stone sculpture is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Every curve and contour has been meticulously carved with utmost precision, reflecting the skill and dedication of its creators from centuries ago. The lectern's ornate design transports us back to a time when artistry was celebrated as an expression of faith. James O. Davies' expert photography captures every minute detail, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur that emanates from this historical artifact. The play of light and shadow further enhances our understanding of its three-dimensional form, making it come alive before our eyes. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a bygone era where religious devotion found solace in such magnificent works. It serves as a reminder that even after all these years, their significance remains intact – not just as decorative pieces but also as testaments to human creativity and spirituality. Through Historic England's preservation efforts and James O. Davies' lens, we can now cherish this extraordinary relic for generations to come - an enduring symbol connecting us with our rich cultural heritage.
