EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 16th century image captures the aristocratic household of Moat House in Ightham, Kent, as they come together for their daily devotions in the chapel. The scene is one of quiet reverence and piety, with the noble family and their servants gathered around the ornately decorated altar, their faces focused on their prayers. The chapel, with its intricately carved wooden panels and stained glass windows, is a testament to the wealth and status of the household. The grandeur of the setting is further emphasized by the rich fabrics and finery worn by the individuals, from the velvet and fur-trimmed robes of the nobles to the more simple, yet still elegant, attire of the servants. The peaceful atmosphere is broken only by the gentle flicker of the candles and the soft murmur of prayers. This image offers a rare glimpse into the social scenes of aristocratic life in Britain during the 16th century, a time of great change and upheaval, and serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and spirituality in the daily lives of the nobility and their households.
