EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a glimpse of history, this vintage print showcases the charming Church Lychgate in St Mawgan in Pydar, Cornwall, circa 1920. The lychgate stands proudly at the entrance of St Mawgan in Pydar Parish Church, inviting visitors to step into a world steeped in tradition and tranquility. In this scene, we are transported back in time as we witness everyday life unfolding around the lychgate. Two men leisurely sit on the wall opposite, engaging in conversation or perhaps enjoying a moment of respite from their daily routines. A lady with an elegant motorcar catches our attention as she gracefully passes by. The car bears the registration number BX518 and is also featured in another photograph by Arthur William Jordan. The composition beautifully captures both architectural details and human presence within its frame. Cornish charm exudes from every corner - from the intricate stonework of the lychgate to the lush greenery that surrounds it. This print serves as a window into a bygone era; it invites us to imagine what life was like during those simpler times. It reminds us of how places like St Mawgan continue to hold significance for locals and tourists alike – not just as historical landmarks but also as spaces where stories unfold and memories are made.
