THE ROMNEY MARSH, situated in the South East corner of England,
is a unique and mysterious location, steeped in tradition and legend. Reclaimed
from the English Channel since the time of the Romans and due to it's close
proximity to mainland Europe; the area has, over the centuries, been in the
front line of the invasion hordes of Vikings, Saxons and Normans; as well
as in more recent times facing the sinister invasion threats of both Napoleon
and then Hitler. The range of Martello towers and defensive bastions along
it's curved coastline reflect this unenviable legacy. The area, now a peaceful
haven, lies somewhat precariously below sea - level; the awesome force of
the great tides only kept at bay by the giant wall which has withstood the
onslaught of centuries of ferocious channel storms. The Marsh is famous for
it's churches, so rich in charm, beauty, history and architecture. There are
also many strange tales surrounding these ancient buildings and their sites.The
moods of the marsh are many, and when the hot sun sits high above the great
scarp of Lympne Hill, smiling it's rays upon the quilt of greenest England,
beaming it's reflection upon the summer sea and the ribbons of reeded dykes,
there are few places in the world of such serene beauty and tranquillity.
On another day, the sea mist that rises incredibly fast, shrouds the land
in a blanket of enveloping mist so dense, you cannot see further than a foot
in front of you. On these days, you can almost touch the eerie silence. Winter
winds can be frighteningly severe, with savage storms and blizzards that blow
massive sheets of snow horizontally across the land. When night falls, the
blackness and the isolated cry of the Curlew beckon in a most ominous and
spooky feeling, and it is easy to understand why so many tales abound of ghosts
and ghouls and the supernatural. It was against this background that the author
Russell Thorndike created his famous Dr. Syn novels. Set in the latter part
of the 18th Century when the old smuggling gangs were prevalent in the area,
the books tell the story of Christopher Syn; a man of majestic romance, daring
and cunning. By day, the pious and extraordinary vicar of the parish of Dymchurch
- under - the wall and by night the infamous "Scarecrow";
leader of the notorious smuggling gang , "The Night Riders"; whilst concealing
the deadly secret of his third persona of Captain Clegg, the most ruthless
and blood - thirsty pirate terror of the high seas. Benevolent hero and ruthless
villain, this legendary character has flamed the imaginations of many generations
and has certainly been the major inspiration for the recent work of the artist
Terry Anthony. His "Marsh Phantom" series and his collection of "Romney Marsh
Churches" capture graphically the contrasting moods of the area; from it's
darkest and most malevolent to it's brightest and most sublime. These spectacular
oil paintings; alive with colour, contrast and detail, reflect at a deep level
the spirit and soul of the marsh; if not mystery itself. Terry Anthony's works
have been a major inspiration to the Singer / Songwriters 'JIMMIE
BONE' and 'JAYL' culminating
in their collaboration on the highly rated CD release "The World And The Hooded
Man". These paintings are growing ever popular and are available in various
formats, including posters, postcards and limited edition prints.
