Cold Norman Rural Scene Winter 11th Century Listed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the winter of February 1948, capturing a serene snowy view from within a peaceful wooded area. The lens frames a picturesque scene that stretches across an open field towards the charming village of Ovingdean, nestled in West Sussex. Standing tall and proud amidst this wintry landscape is St Wulfrans church, its ancient architecture dating back to the 11th century Norman era. The image evokes a sense of tranquility as nature's icy grip transforms this rural setting into a magical wonderland. The snow-covered trees stand like sentinels, their branches adorned with delicate frosty ornaments. As we gaze upon this frozen tableau, we can almost feel the crispness in the air and hear the gentle crunch beneath our feet. It is worth noting that St Wulfrans church boasts an impressive Kempe ceiling - an architectural gem listed for its historical significance. This detail adds depth to our appreciation of this timeless photograph, reminding us of centuries past and how they have shaped our present. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office (Ref No. Garland N29557), this print serves as both a visual testament to history and an invitation for contemplation. It transports us to another time while also inspiring gratitude for our modern comforts.
