EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1880, capturing the timeless beauty of St. Michael's Church in Bray, Berkshire. Renowned photographer Henry Taunt skillfully captures the essence of this historic place of worship, showcasing its exquisite interior. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn towards the early 14th century arcades that line the church walls. These elegant arches stand as a testament to the architectural prowess of their time and serve as a reminder of centuries past. The Victorian chancel arch takes center stage within this composition, seamlessly blending with its medieval surroundings. Its intricate design adds an element of grandeur to an already awe-inspiring space. One cannot help but be captivated by the timber roof above, which cleverly incorporates openings for natural light - acting almost like a clerestory. The interplay between light and shadow creates a serene atmosphere within these hallowed walls. Henry Taunt's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance present in this photograph print from Historic England. It serves as both a visual record and a tribute to St. Michael's Church - an enduring symbol of faith and devotion that has stood tall for centuries.
