EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marjory L Wight takes us back to the 1930s, immersing us in the picturesque village of Steeple Ashton in Wiltshire. The image captures a charming scene on High Street, where historic houses line the road leading our gaze towards the magnificent St Mary's Church tower. In the foreground, we are greeted by an inviting inn sign for The Longs Arms, hinting at warm hospitality and perhaps a cozy place to rest after exploring this idyllic village. As we follow the street further, our eyes are drawn to the well-preserved houses that exude character and charm with their traditional architecture. But it is undoubtedly the towering presence of St Mary's Church that steals the show. Rising above all else in its grandeur, this architectural gem stands as a testament to centuries of faith and community spirit. Its spire reaches high into the sky, seemingly touching heaven itself. Marjory L Wight has masterfully captured not just buildings but also a sense of timelessness within this photograph. It transports us back to an era when life moved at a slower pace and communities thrived on close-knit relationships. This print serves as both a visual reminder of history preserved and an invitation for viewers to imagine themselves strolling down High Street in Steeple Ashton during those enchanting days gone by.
