EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to June 1925, capturing the serene beauty of St Clether Chapel and Holy Well in Cornwall. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully frames the east end of the chapel and its adjoining holy well, transporting us to a time long gone. The image exudes an air of tranquility as we gaze upon the ancient stone walls adorned with vibrant green ivy. The chapel's architecture stands proudly against the backdrop of lush countryside, showcasing its historical significance within Cornwall's rich heritage. The focal point is undoubtedly the Holy Well, nestled beside the chapel. Its crystal-clear waters glisten under gentle sunlight that filters through surrounding trees. This sacred site has been revered for centuries by locals and visitors alike seeking spiritual solace or healing properties attributed to its waters. Hughes' composition invites contemplation as we imagine pilgrims from generations past gathering at this hallowed place. Their footsteps echo softly in our minds as we ponder their hopes and prayers whispered within these sacred grounds. This print serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's deep-rooted spirituality and connection to nature—a testament to how history intertwines with landscapes over time. It evokes a sense of reverence for both architectural marvels like St Clether Chapel and natural wonders such as Holy Wells that continue to captivate hearts even after nearly a century has passed since this snapshot froze them in time.
