EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Hammersmith Parish Church in 1820, offering a glimpse into the rich history of this quaint village now nestled within greater London. The church, constructed in the 1620s through the generous contributions of Sir Nicholas Crispe, stands as a testament to his philanthropy and local prominence as a wealthy merchant. In this image captured around 1878, we are transported back in time to witness the architectural beauty of this seventeenth-century building. The churchyard surrounding St Paul's Church serves as a final resting place for many souls, including Sir Nicholas Crispe himself. His remains were laid to rest here alongside his heart in a chest tomb erected in 1898. This sacred space holds not only physical graves but also echoes centuries of Christian faith and spirituality. Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" provides valuable insights into Hammersmith's past and its significance within England's cultural landscape. Through this monochrome photograph preserved by The Print Collector, we can appreciate the timeless beauty of Hammersmith Parish Church while contemplating themes such as life, death, religion, and occupation. As we gaze upon this remarkable image frozen in time between two centuries - the seventeenth and nineteenth - we are reminded that even amidst urban development and societal changes over time, there remain pockets where history is lovingly preserved for future generations to admire.
