EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the interior of All Saints Church, Burnham Thorpe. Stepping into this sacred space, one can't help but feel the weight of history that permeates every corner. The camera lens captures a view from the chancel, allowing us to marvel at the grandeur of the nave. It is impossible to overlook the significant connection this church holds with one of Britain's greatest naval heroes – Admiral Nelson. We learn that his father once served as rector here, adding an extra layer of reverence to these hallowed grounds. A Union Jack ensign proudly hangs within sight, reminding visitors of this enduring link between Burnham Thorpe and its famous son. As our eyes wander upwards towards the chancel, we are greeted by a striking rood cross suspended high above. Its presence serves as a poignant symbol of faith and sacrifice for those who have worshipped beneath it throughout generations. Photographed by Hallam Ashley in 1950, this image beautifully encapsulates both architectural splendor and historical significance. It invites us to reflect on not only the religious importance held within these walls but also on how communities intertwine with national narratives. Hallam Ashley's skillful composition transports us through time and offers a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved within these stone walls.
