EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the unexpected image of the Right Reverend Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram, Bishop of London, in an unconventional setting as he engages in a game of tennis. Dated back to 1946, this historical image offers a unique glimpse into the personal life of a man who held a significant religious position during a time of great change in post-war Britain. Bishop Winnington-Ingram, born in 1858, was a respected and influential figure in the Anglican Church. He served as the Bishop of London from 1935 until his retirement in 1946. Known for his charitable work and dedication to the community, he was a beloved figure in the city. However, this photograph reveals a different side to the Bishop, showcasing his athletic prowess and love for the sport of tennis. The Bishop is seen wearing his full vestments, complete with mitre and crozier, adding an intriguing contrast to the casual setting of a tennis court. The racquet in his hand and the determined look on his face suggest that he was an accomplished player. The year 1946 marked the end of World War II and the beginning of a new era in British history. This photograph offers a glimpse into the personal lives of individuals during this time, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of the British people, even in the face of great challenges. This image is a testament to the fact that even those in positions of great authority and responsibility could find joy and relaxation in simple activities like tennis. It also highlights the importance of preserving historical records that offer insights into the lives of individuals and the broader historical context in which they lived.
