EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the chapel at Roche Rock standing proudly under scaffolding, shrouded in both mystery and history. Taken by renowned photographer Charles Woolf in 1981, this image offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to explore the rich heritage of Cornwall. The chapel itself dates back to the early 15th century when it was dedicated to St Michael in 1409. Its architectural beauty is evident even through the veil of scaffolding, showcasing intricate details that have withstood centuries of weathering. The juxtaposition of ancient stone against modern construction materials creates an intriguing contrast, highlighting both preservation efforts and ongoing restoration work. Roche Rock holds great significance for Cornish culture and religion. It has long been a place of pilgrimage for locals seeking solace or spiritual connection. This photograph evokes a sense of reverence as we witness this sacred site undergoing necessary repairs, ensuring its continued existence for generations to come. Through Joyce Greenham's lens, we are transported back to a time when faith intertwined with daily life, where people found comfort within these hallowed walls.
