Stones of Ilkley Moor 35mm Film A5 Prints

Even on an island on which layers of history sit stacked atop one another, Ilkley Moor is famous for its overwhelming concentration of ancient stones. Home to fairies, giants, stone circles, ancient carvings and untold secrets, it is one of Britain's sacred spaces, where nature and man have conspired to create a ritual landscape of the uncanny. This series of A5 photo prints, taken on black-and-white 35mm film, captures the intriguing shapes of the many stones of Ilkley Moor.

“I have a feeling anything strange can happen on Rombald’s Moor, miles of high hills, boggy land and lonely pastures, between Skipton and Ilkley, where prehistoric men hunted and as part of their religious cult carved cup and ring marks on boulders and rock face. The moor folk had a deep respect for the Devil. They believed nothing was beyond his power.” – Jessica Lofthouse, North-Country Folklore
