Somerford Park I would like to dedicate this page to the memory of 24 year old New Zealand Rider Tom Gadsby, who suffered fatal injuries at Fence 4B on 18th August 2013, when he was involved in a rotational accident; his horse, seven-year-old skewbald gelding, The Drove, fell on top of him, crushing Tom to death. The Drove was uninjured. There are no photographs of Tom Gadsby in my selection.

The pictures are more a study of light inside the Abbey and it…
