EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Churchtown, St Keverne, Cornwall. The scene captures the essence of a bygone era after 1920, showcasing The Square and its centerpiece - the magnificent St Keverne Church with its distinctive spire. As our eyes wander through this enchanting image, we are drawn to other notable landmarks that dot the landscape. On one side stands The Three Tuns Hotel, exuding an air of warmth and hospitality for weary travelers. Adjacent to it is Edwin Rule & Sons store, a bustling hub where locals would gather for their daily needs. The church tower proudly displays a clock installed in 1907, serving as both a practical timekeeper and an elegant addition to the architectural beauty of the village. It reminds us that life here was governed not only by nature's rhythms but also by man-made constructs. A poignant reminder of sacrifice stands tall at The Square - the War Memorial erected in 1920. This solemn structure pays tribute to those brave souls from St Keverne parish who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War I. It serves as a constant reminder of their courage and selflessness. Although captured by an unknown photographer, this print speaks volumes about history frozen in time. Its charm lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its ability to transport us back into an era filled with community spirit and resilience amidst adversity.
