EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Artists Cottage, formerly known as Mabs Cottage, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Trotshill, Warndon, Worcestershire. The image showcases the cottage in its original state before undergoing a remarkable restoration by the talented artist Florence Elsie Matley Moore (1900-1985). Dating back to the 15th century, this medieval timber-framed house had fallen into disrepair and was described as being "certainly in a very bad state" in November 1938 according to an article written by Moore herself for Country Life on February 8th, 1941. However, through her artistic vision and dedication, she breathed new life into this historic dwelling. The photograph highlights the dilapidated condition of Artists Cottage with its thatched roof showing signs of decay and walls weathered by time. It serves as a testament to both its former glory and the immense effort put forth during its restoration process which was completed by 1940. Marjory L Wight skillfully captured this momentous transformation through her lens. Her photography allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of this vernacular structure but also serves as a reminder of our duty to preserve our cultural heritage. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates history brought back from ruin thanks to one artist's passion for preservation.
