EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented photographer John Gay in 1973, transports us to the serene village of Westmill in Hertfordshire. The image showcases a picturesque view of the village green, adorned with lush greenery and dotted with charming houses. Standing proudly at its center is a quaint roofed village pump, serving as a reminder of simpler times. As our gaze extends beyond the village green, we are greeted by the sight of Pilgrims Close - a row of delightful houses that exude warmth and character. Rising majestically above them all is the towering presence of St Mary's Church, its spire reaching towards the heavens. This architectural marvel adds an air of spirituality and history to this idyllic rural landscape. Intriguingly placed in the foreground is half of a Hertfordshire finger post bearing an unexpected placename - Nasty. Though seemingly out-of-place amidst such tranquility, it serves as a reminder that even within peaceful settings like Westmill, there can be moments that catch us off guard or challenge our expectations. John Gay's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this timeless scene; one where nature harmoniously coexists with human habitation. Through his lens, he captures not just buildings and landscapes but also evokes emotions and nostalgia for days gone by. This remarkable photograph from Historic England encapsulates the essence of rural life - simplicity intertwined with beauty - inviting us to appreciate and cherish these precious pockets frozen in time
