EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia drawing, created in 1838 by Thomas Peploe Wood, captures the historical significance of Drayton-in-Hales - Audley Cross on Blore Heath. The image showcases a weathered cross standing proudly on a square inscribed base amidst an open field adorned with grazing sheep. This cross serves as a poignant reminder of the Battle that took place in 1459. The battered state of the cross hints at its long-standing presence and enduring history. It stands as a testament to the resilience and strength displayed during that fateful battle. In 1765, Charles Boothby Skrymsher, Lord of the Manor, undertook its repair to ensure it would continue to honor those who fought valiantly. Wood's meticulous attention to detail brings this scene to life, capturing not only the physical features but also evoking emotions tied to this significant event. The sepia tones add depth and warmth while lending an air of nostalgia. Preserved within The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK, this print invites viewers into a moment frozen in time. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history and pay homage to those who came before us. Through Wood's skillful handiwork and Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are granted access to this piece of artistry—a window into both past triumphs and enduring legacies for generations yet unborn.
