EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1962 showcases the picturesque town of Stratton, Cornwall. Taken by the talented photographer Charles Woolf, it offers a timeless glimpse into Churchtown as seen from the south. The image beautifully captures the essence of this Cornish gem, with its charming church standing proudly amidst a backdrop of rolling hills and quaint cottages. The photograph transports us back in time to an era where simplicity reigned supreme. The narrow streets wind through the town, inviting exploration and discovery. One can almost hear the distant sounds of laughter echoing through these historic lanes. Churchtown takes center stage in this snapshot, its ancient walls steeped in history and tradition. The church's towering spire reaches towards the heavens, a symbol of faith that has stood strong for centuries. Its presence serves as a reminder of Cornwall's rich cultural heritage. Photographer Joyce Greenham skillfully captures not only the physical beauty but also manages to convey an overwhelming sense of tranquility and serenity within this small corner of England. It is as if time stands still within these borders; life moves at its own gentle pace here. This remarkable print evokes feelings of nostalgia while simultaneously inspiring wanderlust for those who have yet to experience Stratton's charm firsthand. It is a testament to both Woolf's artistic eye and Cornwall's enduring allure—a true treasure preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection for all to enjoy.
