EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of St Mary's Church in Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire. As we gaze upon this stunning image, our eyes are drawn towards the majestic church standing proudly at the end of Church Street. The medieval architecture is a testament to the rich history that permeates through every stone and brick. In perfect harmony with its surroundings, a charming house stands beside the church, adding an extra touch of quaintness to this picturesque scene. It serves as a reminder that life continues to thrive amidst these ancient walls. A glimpse into the past reveals a snapshot from the 1930s when cars were still relatively rare on village streets. In stark contrast to its historic backdrop, a solitary car sits parked outside number 3 Church Street. This juxtaposition reminds us of how time marches forward while preserving fragments of our heritage. Marjory L Wight's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this moment frozen in time. Her lens captures not only architectural grandeur but also evokes emotions and nostalgia for simpler times. As we admire this remarkable photograph, let it transport us back to an era where tranquility reigned supreme and faith stood tall against all odds. Let it remind us that even amidst change and progress, there will always be places like St Mary's Church that anchor us firmly in our roots and connect us with generations gone by.
