EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming village of St Keverne in Cornwall, capturing a picturesque view towards the church from Commercial Road. The year is 1978, and as we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era filled with nostalgia. On the right side of the frame, quaint cottages stand proudly, their stone walls weathered by years of history. One cottage catches our attention with a cut-stone on its wall bearing the inscription "Built AD 1739 by Dorcas Pym". It serves as a reminder that these buildings have witnessed centuries of life unfold before them. Beyond the cottages lies St Keverne's beautiful church, standing tall against the backdrop of clear blue skies. Its presence exudes tranquility and spirituality, offering solace to those who seek it. The photographer skillfully captures this harmonious composition between man-made structures and nature's beauty. To the left stands Melrose House alongside an adjoining cottage forming a group of three Grade II listed cottages. Their architectural elegance adds character to this already enchanting setting. Just out of frame is Travellers Joy, completing this cluster of historic dwellings that tell stories untold. The mastermind behind this mesmerizing image is Charles Woolf whose lens has immortalized not only a moment but also Cornwall's rich heritage. This photograph now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm.
