EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 1980s, St Matthew's Church in Normanton, Rutland Water, stands proudly against the tranquil backdrop of the lake. The classical-style, Grade 2 listed building, now de-consecrated, exudes a sense of history and serenity as fishermen in a small boat make their way towards its shores. Located in the picturesque village of Normanton in the English county of Leicestershire, St Matthew's Church has been a landmark of the Rutland Water landscape since its construction in the late 18th century. The church, with its distinctive bell tower and intricate stonework, has weathered the test of time, bearing witness to the ever-changing seasons and the passage of generations. The 1980s saw a period of transformation for St Matthew's Church, as it was de-consecrated and converted into a private residence. However, its historical significance and architectural beauty continued to draw visitors from near and far, including these intrepid fishermen who sought solace and adventure on the water. The photograph, taken by renowned British photographer Philip Dunn, captures the essence of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of rural life and the beauty of nature converge. The image invites us to pause and reflect on the enduring power of history, tradition, and the natural world. This photograph, first published in The Sunday Times in 1988, is a testament to the timeless allure of St Matthew's Church and the enchanting beauty of Rutland Water. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in history, and a reminder of the simple joys that can be found in the quiet corners of our world.
