EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene moment of a tabby cat sitting atop a moss-covered chest tomb in the tranquil graveyard of Boxgrove Priory, West Sussex. The church of St Mary and St Blaize, with its distinctive gothic architecture, looms in the background. The graveyard, filled with the soft hues of daisy flowers and tall grasses, creates an idyllic setting for this peaceful scene. The cat, with its alert and curious expression, seems to be taking in the beauty and history of its surroundings. The photograph, taken by renowned English photographer John Gay between 1950 and 1965, offers a glimpse into the past, where nature and animals coexist harmoniously in the quiet solitude of a historic cemetery." "Boxgrove Priory, a former monastery, is steeped in history and mystery. Founded in the 13th century, it was once a thriving religious community. However, during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the priory was dissolved, and its buildings were largely destroyed. Today, only the ruins remain, serving as a reminder of the past. The graveyard, with its overgrown tombs and ancient headstones, adds to the sense of history and tranquility. The cat, with its presence, adds a touch of modernity and life to this timeless scene." "The photograph by John Gay is a testament to the beauty and serenity that can be found in unexpected places. The tabby cat, with its calm demeanor, adds a sense of stillness and peace to the scene, while the daisy flowers and tall grasses add a touch of color and life. The ruins of Boxgrove Priory, with its rich history and mysterious past, provide the perfect backdrop for this enchanting moment.
