EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the picturesque village of St Neot in Cornwall, circa 1904. The lens of renowned photographer Herbert Hughes skillfully captures a general view across the village, showcasing its timeless charm and tranquil beauty. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we are immediately drawn towards the magnificent parish church that stands proudly amidst the surrounding landscape. The quaint village exudes an undeniable Cornish character, with its traditional stone buildings nestled harmoniously within nature's embrace. The Edwardian era is evident in every detail; from the elegant attire of locals strolling along cobbled streets to horse-drawn carriages gracefully passing by. It is as if we have stepped into a living postcard from a bygone era. Hughes' expert composition allows us to appreciate both the architectural splendor of St Neot's parish church and its integration into the fabric of everyday life for villagers at that time. Its towering spire reaches towards the heavens while providing a sense of stability and solace for those who seek refuge within its walls. This remarkable print serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich history and cultural heritage. It invites us to reflect on simpler times when communities thrived on close-knit relationships and found solace in their faith. Through this image, we are transported back to an idyllic moment where past meets present, offering glimpses into lives lived long ago but forever etched within these hallowed grounds.
