EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the charming village of Clare, Suffolk. Standing proudly on High Street is The Ancient House, a remarkable structure that was once a priests house dating all the way back to 1473. Its historical significance is evident not only through its age but also through its exquisite exterior design. The focus of this image lies on the gable facing the churchyard, showcasing an exceptional example of pargetting - a traditional East Anglian craft known for its decorative plasterwork. Intricate patterns and motifs adorn every inch of this architectural masterpiece, reflecting the skill and artistry of craftsmen from centuries past. Photographed by Hallam Ashley in April 1958, this snapshot captures both the grandeur and delicate details that make The Ancient House truly unique. It serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of the importance of preserving these treasures for future generations. As we gaze upon this window into history, we are transported to an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme and attention to detail was paramount. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty found within The Ancient House but also highlights how architecture can be a powerful storyteller connecting us with our past.
