EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting village of Battle on a serene spring day, May 1st, 1890. Standing proudly against the clear blue sky is the magnificent bell tower of St Mary the Virgin church, an architectural gem that has withstood the test of time. The intricate details and Gothic design evoke a sense of awe and reverence for this sacred place. In this snapshot frozen in history, our attention is drawn to a young boy standing by the ancient churchyard wall. His presence adds a touch of innocence amidst the solemnity of the graveyard. Perhaps he contemplates life's mysteries or simply enjoys exploring his surroundings while basking in sunlight. The image exudes nostalgia as we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages roamed these streets and gas lamps illuminated their way at dusk. It reminds us how much has changed over generations but also serves as a reminder that some things endure - like faith and community. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this photograph offers glimpses into East Sussex's past; it captures not only architecture but also echoes of religious devotion embedded in every brick and stone
