EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of St. Bartholomews The Great and Cloth Fair, taken around 1877 by Alfred Bool and John Bool. Located in the heart of London, this historic church was founded in 1123 by Rahere, a man whose legacy still lives on today. Part of a series of 120 photographs by the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London, this image showcases buildings that were at risk of demolition during the late 19th century. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our architectural heritage. The photograph reveals an eclectic mix of architectural styles, with its medieval brick facade standing proudly against the backdrop of an urban alleyway. Despite its dilapidated appearance, there is an undeniable charm to this vernacular structure that speaks volumes about Victorian-era architecture. St. Bartholomews The Great and Cloth Fair holds religious significance within its walls but also serves as a symbol for community and education with its adjacent school building. Its Gothic features add to its grandeur while blending seamlessly into the surrounding cityscape. As we gaze upon this image captured over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness the rich history embedded within these walls. This photograph not only preserves a moment frozen in time but also reminds us to appreciate and protect our cultural treasures for future generations to come.
