EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Gordon Barnes in 1969, transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Sessay in North Yorkshire. The focal point of this image is the magnificent St Cuthberts Church, standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. Its ancient stone walls exude a sense of history and spirituality that has withstood the test of time. Nestled beside the church is an enchanting bridge spanning over the tranquil Birdforth Beck. This charming stone structure adds a touch of rustic charm to the scene, perfectly complementing the timeless beauty of its surroundings. Both St Cuthberts Church and this quaint bridge have been recognized for their architectural significance, being listed as Grade II* and Grade II respectively. Gordon Barnes skillfully captures not only these remarkable landmarks but also manages to convey a sense of serenity that pervades throughout Sessay. The stillness captured in this moment allows us to appreciate the peaceful ambiance that must have enveloped this idyllic village decades ago. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England's collection, we are reminded of how photography can transport us through time and space. It serves as a visual portal into our past, allowing us to connect with places long gone yet forever preserved within these images.
