EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Church of St. Oswald in Lydd, Kent, England, as it stood in 1913. Located near the picturesque town of New Romney, this ancient church is steeped in history and holds great significance for the local community. The Church of St. Oswald is believed to have originated as a Norman church in the 11th century, with later additions in the 13th and 15th centuries. Its distinctive bell tower, with its tall, narrow windows, can be seen rising above the surrounding landscape, a testament to its long history. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, revealing a time when horse-drawn carriages were still a common mode of transport and the church was the center of community life. The trees lining the churchyard add a sense of tranquility and serenity, while the sky above is filled with ominous clouds, hinting at the unpredictable weather that is characteristic of the Kent coast. Despite the passage of time, the Church of St. Oswald remains an important landmark in Lydd. Its rich history and beautiful architecture continue to draw visitors from near and far, making it a beloved and cherished part of the local heritage. This photograph is a reminder of the past and the enduring beauty and significance of this historic place of worship.
