EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the consecration of Clifton Cathedral in Bristol. The image showcases members of the congregation partaking in Communion during Mass, symbolizing their deep connection to their faith. Designed by Ronald Weeks, Es Jennett, and Antoni Poremba of the Percy Thomas Partnership, this Roman Catholic Cathedral stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. Constructed between 1969-1973 by John Laing & Son Limited, it is an impressive example of using pre-cast concrete panels and in-situ concrete for its construction. The cathedral's grandeur earned it the prestigious Concrete Award from the Concrete Society in 1974. Its modern design seamlessly blends with traditional elements, creating a sacred space that inspires awe and reverence. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness individuals engaging in Holy Communion – a sacrament deeply cherished within Catholicism. Their expressions reflect devotion and spiritual fulfillment as they partake in this sacred ritual. This photograph not only documents an important event but also highlights the significance of religion and community within society. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can shape our experiences and create spaces where people come together to celebrate their beliefs. A© Historic England Archive has beautifully preserved this momentous occasion through this stunning photo print, allowing us to appreciate both its historical value and artistic merit.
