EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1959 showcases the serene beauty of The Holy Well, located at St Clether Chapel in Cornwall. Captured by the talented photographer Charles Woolf, this close-up shot focuses solely on the enchanting well itself, omitting the presence of the chapel that usually accompanies it. The image transports us to a time when spirituality and nature intertwined harmoniously. The Holy Well stands as a testament to centuries-old traditions and beliefs deeply rooted in Cornish culture. Its significance as a place of pilgrimage and devotion is palpable through this photograph. Cornwall's rich history is imbued with tales of miracles attributed to holy wells like this one. It served as a sacred site where locals sought solace, healing, and spiritual connection. This particular image evokes a sense of tranquility and reverence; one can almost hear whispers carried by gentle breezes amidst lush greenery. Photographer Joyce Greenham has skillfully captured every intricate detail - from the moss-covered stones surrounding the well to delicate water droplets cascading down its ancient walls. Through her lens, we are invited into an intimate encounter with this sacred space. As we gaze upon this remarkable print housed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded of our collective human yearning for something greater than ourselves – an eternal quest for meaning that transcends time and place.
