Pleshey, View From The Church Tower c.1965

More about this scene
Pleshey's church dates only from 1868, though an earlier one had stood in the field behind the White Horse, on the left of the picture. The castle here had fallen into decay by Shakespeare's time: in 'Richard II', he mentions its “empty lodgings and unfurnished walls, unpeopled offices, untrodden stones”. Evidently, it was already a byword for faded grandeur. Today, the mount - seen here on the right - has long been bare.
