EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back to the early 1910s in Leicester Square, Penshurst, Kent. The image showcases a picturesque view from the north-west, where a figure stands under the archway of the lych gate leading to St John's Church. Bathed in soft sunlight, this scene exudes tranquility and invites us to explore its historical significance. The lych gate itself is an architectural marvel, constructed with timber frames that have stood the test of time. Its intricate design reflects the craftsmanship of yesteryears and serves as a gateway between two worlds - one within the churchyard and another outside. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards a timber beam that appears weathered yet resilient. It hints at stories untold and secrets whispered through generations. Surrounding this enchanting structure is an idyllic setting featuring charming houses with their own distinct character. These timber-framed houses add charm and warmth to the landscape while blending harmoniously with nature's beauty. Intriguingly, amidst all these architectural wonders lies a solitary figure gazing intently at one of those timbers. Who is this person? What thoughts occupy their mind?
