EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the quaint village of Cowfold in 1908. The scene captured is a picturesque corner by the church, with charming cottages standing proudly in the foreground. A well, serving as a reminder of simpler times when water was drawn manually, adds an authentic touch to this idyllic setting. The composition beautifully frames the historic St. Peter's Church that stands majestically in the background. Its timeless architecture and towering spire provide a striking contrast against the humble cottages nearby, showcasing both grandeur and simplicity within one frame. This remarkable photograph allows us to glimpse into a bygone era, where life moved at a slower pace and communities thrived on close-knit relationships. It offers a rare opportunity to appreciate the architectural heritage of Cowfold while also reflecting on how much has changed over more than a century. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this image serves as an invaluable historical artifact for those seeking insight into rural life during early 20th-century England. With its attention to detail and evocative atmosphere, it transports viewers back to an era filled with charm and tranquility
