EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, capturing a timeless scene in Probus, Cornwall. The Square and Church of St Probus and St Grace take center stage, emanating an air of tranquility and historical charm. From the north side of The Square, our gaze is drawn towards the magnificent church as it proudly stands against the picturesque backdrop. The Jubilee Lamp gracefully illuminates this corner of Probus, casting a warm glow on its surroundings. As we explore further into Wagg Lane near the church, we encounter a well-dressed group that adds life to this nostalgic snapshot. Their attire reflects an era long gone by but their presence serves as a reminder of community bonds that endure through time. Captured by Canon Henry Holroyd Mills, this photograph showcases not only his skill behind the lens but also his appreciation for preserving moments frozen in history. It offers us a glimpse into village life during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee period when traditions were cherished and celebrated with great fervor. Cornish thatch roofs dotting the landscape remind us of the region's architectural heritage while emphasizing its unique character. This image evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times spent wandering through charming parish villages like Probus. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry while honoring its past inhabitants who have left an indelible mark on Churchtown and beyond.
