EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marjory L Wight takes us back to the picturesque village of Steeple Ashton in Wiltshire during the 1930s. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn towards the charming row of houses lining the High Street. Each house exudes a sense of character and history, with their traditional architecture and quaint details. But it is the towering presence of St Mary's Church that truly steals the show. Rising majestically above the rooftops, its stone spire reaches towards the heavens, a testament to centuries of faith and community spirit. The church stands as a symbol of unity for Steeple Ashton, providing solace and guidance to its residents throughout generations. The composition perfectly captures an idyllic view looking north along this historic street. The soft sunlight casts gentle shadows on cobblestone paths while highlighting intricate features on each building facade. It transports us back to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace, where neighbors knew one another by name and gathered together for celebrations or Sunday services. Marjory L Wight's skillful lens has immortalized this moment in history, allowing us to appreciate both architectural beauty and small-town charm that define Steeple Ashton. This print serves as a visual reminder of how our heritage shapes our present-day communities – reminding us to cherish these timeless treasures that connect us across generations.
