The Grove That Never Forgot
The Viking ghosts of Kingley Vale is a premium matte framed canvas featuring historical Viking artwork available in four frame finishes.
In AD 894, a Viking war party was cornered and destroyed in the valley beneath Bow Hill — crushed by the men of Chichester, Alfred the Great's fyrd. The dead were buried where they fell, beneath the roots of ancient yew trees that still stand today. Their bark weeps red sap in late summer. The folklore says it never stopped. This matte framed canvas captures that landscape and that legend — ghostly figures moving like memories through a moonlit grove, rendered in muted greens and charcoal that favour atmosphere over flash. The heavy pine frame and textured matte surface give the scene depth and a tactile calm. An artwork that rewards quiet light and slow looking.
This listing is for the framed canvas. Available in four frame finishes — Black, Espresso, White, and Natural — each bringing a different mood to the same haunting scene.
