EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the Memorial Bell DP218218, located within St Mary the Virgin Church in Berkeley, Gloucestershire. The image focuses on the treble bell, which holds a significant place as a war memorial dedicated to those who served during World War I. The inscription on the bell reveals that two anonymous parishioners generously funded its construction. Their selfless act allowed for the erection of these two treble bells, forever honoring their commitment to remembrance and gratitude. The names listed alongside them include Henry Crawford Armour M. A. , Vicar George Clark, Thomas Gadd Matthews, James Shield, and George Powell – all serving as churchwardens at that time. As we gaze upon this poignant scene captured by photographer Steven Baker, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during one of history's most devastating conflicts. This photograph serves as a powerful commemoration not only of those who fought bravely but also of the community spirit that came together to honor their memory. With every tolling sound echoing through this historic church tower, visitors are transported back in time to an era when unity and resilience prevailed amidst adversity. It is through images like these that we can pay our respects and ensure that future generations understand and appreciate the significance of such memorials in preserving our shared history.
