EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Crossing the ford MCF01_02_0506" transports us back in time to the picturesque village of Chenies in Buckinghamshire. The scene captures a serene moment on the River Chess, where an enchanting young woman confidently takes charge of a horse-drawn cart as she navigates across a charming ford. Her skilled hands expertly guide the majestic horses through the crystal-clear waters, creating a mesmerizing waterscape that reflects their grace and strength. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to two girls walking across a quaint footbridge nearby. Their laughter fills the air as they playfully skip over each wooden plank, adding an element of youthful joy to this idyllic countryside setting. The river crossing becomes more than just a practical necessity; it transforms into an opportunity for connection and shared experiences. Renowned photographer Katherine MacFee has masterfully captured not only the beauty of nature but also its harmonious coexistence with humanity and animals alike. This image serves as a reminder of simpler times when rivers were crossed by traditional means and communities thrived on close-knit relationships. Through this remarkable photograph, Historic England invites us to immerse ourselves in history's embrace - where landscapes come alive with stories untold and moments frozen in time forevermore.
