EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the medieval era, offering a glimpse into the intricate beauty of Romanesque architecture. Captured by Marjory L Wight in the 1930s, this image showcases a remarkable detail of elaborate carving on the south capital of the chancel arch at St Nicholas Church in Earls Croome, Worcestershire. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly awe-inspiring. The interlacing floral designs intricately woven together create an enchanting tapestry that seems to come alive before our eyes. Each delicate petal and leaf tells a story of skilled hands and artistic vision. Amidst this botanical symphony lies an unexpected surprise – a lion looking backwards. Its gaze carries with it an air of mystery and intrigue, inviting us to ponder its significance within this sacred space. Perhaps it symbolizes vigilance or protection, standing as a guardian over all who enter through these hallowed doors. As we immerse ourselves in this photograph's rich details, we are reminded of the enduring power of architectural heritage. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an invitation for contemplation and reflection. Through Marjory L Wight's lens, we are transported not only through time but also into the depths of our own imagination – where history intertwines with artistry and spirituality converges with creativity.
