EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia drawing, created in 1841 by John Chessell Buckler, transports us back to the serene grounds of Penkridge Church in Staffordshire. The focal point of this print is the remarkable tomb of Edward Littleton, a prominent figure from history. Crafted from alabaster, the altar tomb stands proudly on the south side of the Chancel. The attention to detail in this drawing is truly extraordinary. Every intricate feature has been meticulously captured, allowing us to admire not only the grandeur of the tomb but also its historical significance. On one side, we see effigies of Edward Littleton and his two wives resting peacefully for eternity. Meanwhile, on the north side are depictions of ten children - a poignant reminder of their existence and legacy. Adding further richness to this scene are three large shields adorning one end of the tomb. These heraldic symbols undoubtedly hold deep meaning and tell stories that have withstood time itself. Buckler's talent shines through as he masterfully brings together all these elements within his composition. Through his skilled hand and keen eye for detail, he invites us into a moment frozen in history - a glimpse into Penkridge Church's past. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of awe at both its artistic beauty and historical significance. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with architecture, heritage, and those who came before us.
