EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum transports us back in time to Crantock Church, Cornwall shortly after its restoration in 1902. The image beautifully captures the church's south-west entrance, showcasing its stunning architectural details and intricate stonework. As we gaze upon this historical gem, our eyes are drawn to the foreground where a picturesque scene unfolds. In the foreground of the photograph, we see a charming assortment of farm buildings that dot the landscape. These rustic structures stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era when agriculture played an integral role in shaping local communities. A cart rests nearby, perhaps awaiting its next journey or laden with goods ready for transport. Adding further intrigue to this snapshot of history is a cask prominently placed beside the cart. This wooden barrel hints at bustling trade and commerce that once thrived along Beach Road – a testament to Cornwall's vibrant past and maritime connections. The composition of this print not only showcases architectural splendor but also offers glimpses into everyday life during early 20th-century Cornwall. It invites us to imagine what it was like for residents who frequented Crantock Church or traversed these roads long ago. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Royal Cornwall Museum collection, let us reflect on how much has changed over time while cherishing our connection with history and heritage preserved within such evocative images.
