EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in the traditions of England. Titled "Choristers of St Clement Danes beating the boundaries of their parish" this image showcases a ceremony that dates back to the 1920s or 1930s. The choristers, dressed in traditional choirboy attire, are seen holding wands as they participate in this age-old custom. The practice of beating the boundaries was a significant event for parishes across Britain during this time period. It involved walking along the borders of the parish while using sticks or wands to mark and remember its limits. This ritual served as a way to reinforce community bonds and ensure that everyone within the parish understood its geographical boundaries. The photo provides us with a glimpse into British history and culture, capturing an authentic moment from early twentieth-century England. The Choristers' serious expressions hint at the importance placed on upholding these customs, while also showcasing their dedication to their role within St Clement Danes Church. Taken by an English photographer whose name is not specified but belongs to Bridgeman Images' private collection, this print offers viewers a unique perspective on traditional practices that have shaped British society for centuries.
