EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the Strike School inscription DP217155, located in Church Green, Burston and Shimpling, Norfolk. Once a school and now transformed into a museum, this historic building holds significant importance in British labor history. The west side of the former school is adorned with stones inscribed with the names of generous subscribers who contributed to its construction. Amongst these notable names stands out Leo Tolstoi, renowned Russian author and philosopher. However, it is believed that this particular inscription refers to his son who tragically passed away in 1910. This detail adds an intriguing layer of historical significance to the already fascinating story behind this building. Dating back to 1917, when it was initially established as a school for children whose parents were involved in a local strike against unfair treatment by their employers, this structure has witnessed countless tales of resilience and determination throughout its existence. Photographer Patricia Payne skillfully captures every nuance of these stone inscriptions through her lens, ensuring that each name etched on them remains forever preserved for future generations to admire. This print serves as both a testament to those who fought for justice during challenging times and as a reminder that history lives on through tangible remnants like these remarkable inscriptions at the Strike School turned museum.
