EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of a remarkable piece of history - the Roman Altar at St Michaels Church in Michaelchurch, Herefordshire. Standing proudly in the nave since 1909, this inscribed altar is believed to date back to the 3rd to 5th century. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this ancient artifact are truly awe-inspiring. Its smooth surface bears inscriptions that whisper tales from a bygone era, offering glimpses into the lives and beliefs of those who once worshipped here. As rays of sunlight filter through stained glass windows, casting a gentle glow upon its weathered stone, one cannot help but be transported back in time. This altar stands as a testament to the enduring power and influence of Roman culture on our world today. Marjory L Wight's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate curve and carefully etched symbol on this sacred relic. The juxtaposition between its ancient origins and its presence within a medieval parish church adds an extra layer of intrigue and mystique. In preserving moments like these through photography, we ensure that future generations can continue to marvel at the rich tapestry woven by our ancestors. Let this image serve as a reminder that even amidst modernity, fragments from our past still hold immense significance and beauty.
