This print takes us back in time to the 1st of May, 1890. It offers a close-up view of the magnificent Church of St Mary the Virgin at Battle, located in East Sussex. The focal point is an intimate glimpse into part of the church's historic graveyard. The image captures a sense of nostalgia as we witness this timeless scene frozen in history. The headstones and grave stones scattered throughout the cemetery stand as silent witnesses to lives once lived, telling stories that have long been forgotten by time. The architecture of the church itself is truly remarkable, showcasing intricate details and Gothic influences that were prevalent during its construction. Its towering spire reaches towards the heavens, symbolizing faith and spirituality.
