I thought I’d share the story behind my Genius Loci Digest, which is more than just a travel diary. After a breakdown in my 30s, it became a salve—helping me untangle anxiety, find solace, and move forward by connecting deeply with the places around me. 🌿 #Thread
✨A bit of warmth and light for the darker and wetter days.
John Ruskin described Lincoln Cathedral as “out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles.”
The view from the castle is truly otherworldly, rising above the city. #thread

🌞 I spent a day watching the light dance across Wells Cathedral and folded it into one image.
Download the hi-res file, frame it your way, or gift it to someone who’ll feel that same awe.
A simple way to support a working creative and share some beauty. 🤗

✨ A few years back I stood outside Wells Cathedral for a full day and photographed the impact of the light on the front facade. I was amazed at the outcome - at how a single entity could morph and change under the changing light. 🌅 #thread

🌍🪐✨ St. Mary Lastingham, Yorks - out of this world.
"This place - the journey to it, the aura, the echoes, the muted light, the Saxon remnants and the Romanesque - has lifted my anxious self into a more rooted sense of the world."

Ever get the sense that a wall is trying to speak? At Waltham Abbey, this battered surface tells of remarkable survival — latent with memory. #thread

I captured the light shift over a day at Wells Cathedral and put it on my wall - a full day of light jam packed into my room. My image of Wells Cathedral in a day is now available as a digital print. 📍More info here🔗: andymarshallphotos.co.uk/products/wel...

And what might such earthy magnificence as Ely Cathedral look like from 'beneath the soil'?

I think I'd cycle 80 miles in a headwind to see Ely Cathedral. No other cathedral feels so organically grown from the earth itself - it's lantern tower is one of the most verdant wonders of the medieval world. #thread

Our material culture always has little stories to tell. We just need to look. 👀
Never let a nail get in the way of a lock plate - here on the door dated 1620 at St. Peter and St. Paul, Long Compton, Warwickshire.

At York Merchant Adventurers' C14th timbered hall, the joy of craft has been caught in Medusa’s gaze – surging, soaring, uplifting. This place is not merely a building, but a glade within a forest – the medieval artisan’s woody memoranda embedded within the street. A must see.

😮📸I spent a day on my own photographing the breathtaking C12th circular nave at Temple Church London - built by the Knights Templar (and a location for Da Vinci Code). It's not a place defined solely by geometry and dimension. It’s a sensory place - spatial, sonic, aesthetic.

I was drawn to this humble, unassuming window at the Talbot Inn in Much Wenlock. Maybe it’s the bulls eye centre — or the thought of peeking faces, everyday moments, and stories it has seen over the centuries. What is it for you? 🤔

✨ Friday inspiration: The achingly beautiful village of Bosham in West Sussex. King Harold saw the same church tower before he set sail in 1064 to meet William of Normandy who would be his conqueror in 1066. Bosham is named in the Bayeux Tapestry alongside a depiction of the church.

Magical evocations through images and words by @fotofacade.bsky.social of a very special place.
'Travelling along the lane to St Melangell’s is an act of filtration, a redaction of modernity. The pressing matters of the day are pared down with each passing turn.'
