EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the charming allure of The Rectory in Merther, Cornwall. Although the exact date remains unknown, it is believed to have been taken during the 1920s, capturing a glimpse into a bygone era. With its traditional Cornish architecture and picturesque setting, this historic building served as the residence for clergy members who ministered at the nearby Church of St Cohan. The image beautifully captures the essence of rural life in Cornwall, with its idyllic cottage nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery. The stone walls exude timeless elegance while blending seamlessly with nature's beauty. One can almost imagine the peaceful serenity that enveloped this place back then. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully framed this scene, highlighting both architectural details and natural surroundings. His composition draws attention to every intricate feature of The Rectory - from its quaint windows adorned with flower boxes to its sturdy front door that has welcomed countless parishioners over generations. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when community and faith were central pillars in people's lives. It offers us an opportunity to appreciate Cornwall's rich heritage and architectural treasures that continue to stand proudly today
