EDITORS COMMENTS
In the Dissenters Disused Burial Ground at Bunhill Fields, c1935. This print captures the serene beauty of Bunhill Fields, a former burial ground in Islington, central London. Known as the final resting place for many influential Protestant nonconformists, this sacred ground holds great historical significance. The image transports us to a bygone era when British poet and writer Robert Southey described it as the Dissenters' Campo Santo - their holy field. The photograph showcases rows of weathered gravestones standing proudly amidst a peaceful landscape. Each grave tells its own story, representing lives lived and contributions made to society. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this poignant scene. It serves as a reminder that even in death, these dissenting voices continue to resonate with us today. This print is part of 'Wonderful London, ' Volume 3 edited by Arthur St John Adcock - a publication that celebrates the rich history and cultural heritage of our beloved city. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of religious freedom and diversity within our society.
