EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting landscape of Roche, Cornwall in 1905. Standing proudly amidst the rugged terrain is the iconic Roche Rock chapel, beautifully captured from a close-up view at its southeastern side. The image showcases the remarkable architecture of St Michaels chapel, with its weathered stone walls and intricate details. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a man bravely ascending a ladder towards the entrance of the chapel. His presence adds a sense of scale to this magnificent structure, emphasizing both its grandeur and isolation within nature's embrace. Built during the early 15th century, this historic chapel was dedicated to St Michael in 1409 as an important religious site for locals. Its remote location atop Roche Rock only enhances its spiritual significance and evokes a feeling of reverence for those who visit or glimpse it from afar. Photographer Herbert Hughes expertly captures not only the physical beauty of this ancient place but also manages to convey an atmosphere that transports us into another era. This photograph serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich cultural heritage and provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate both its natural wonders and religious history.
