EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1920s and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Minster Lovell, West Oxfordshire. This photograph, taken by Katherine MacFee for Historic England, captures a quintessential English scene: horses drinking at a ford on the River Windrush.
The tranquil atmosphere is palpable as the horses' reflections ripple across the calm waters, creating a sense of symmetry and balance. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, with trees lining the riverbank and sunlight filtering through the leaves above. The rustic charm of this idyllic setting is undeniable.
This photograph not only showcases the natural beauty of Minster Lovell but also provides a glimpse into rural life during an earlier era. It's easy to imagine horse-drawn carriages crossing this very same ford on their way to market or farmsteads nearby.
Katherine MacFee's lens has captured more than just a moment in time; she has preserved a piece of history that whispers stories of tradition, community, and connection with nature. As you gaze upon this print, let your mind wander to simpler times when life moved at a slower pace and our relationship with the land was more intimate.
