EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Sompting, West Sussex, on a spring day in 1893. The focal point of this enchanting scene is the magnificent Church of St Mary, standing proudly amidst its tranquil surroundings. Its grandeur and architectural beauty are truly awe-inspiring. In this snapshot frozen in history, we catch a glimpse of a well-dressed gentleman leaning casually against the church's porch. His presence adds an intriguing element to the image, leaving us wondering about his story and connection to this sacred place. The photograph itself is part of the General Photographic Collection housed at the West Sussex Record Office, serving as a testament to our rich heritage and Victorian era nostalgia. It allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship that went into constructing such remarkable buildings but also offers insight into religious practices during that period. As we gaze upon this visual treasure from yesteryears, it serves as a reminder of how architecture can transcend time and evoke emotions within us. This stunning piece captures both the serenity and grandiosity that define St Mary's Church while transporting us back to an era where faith played an integral role in people's lives
