EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of St Thomas Church in Winchelsea, East Sussex. The church, dating back to medieval times, stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear blue sky. Covered in lush ivy that adds an air of mystery and enchantment, this image transports us back to a bygone era. In the foreground, we see sheep grazing peacefully in the churchyard. Their presence adds a touch of serenity to the scene, reminding us that life continues amidst the echoes of history. The gravestones scattered throughout serve as silent witnesses to centuries gone by. This particular photograph was taken before restoration work was undertaken in the 20th century. It allows us to appreciate both the charm and dilapidation that time has bestowed upon this architectural gem. The worn stone walls bear witness to countless stories whispered within their confines. Katherine MacFee's skillful composition brings out every intricate detail with remarkable clarity. Through her lens, we are transported into an era where faith intertwined with everyday life and nature coexisted harmoniously with man-made structures. This print is not just a visual delight; it is also a testament to our rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even buildings can carry memories and emotions within their walls – if only we take the time to listen closely enough.
