EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of the restored north Norman doorway at St. Laurence's Church in Upton, Slough, Berkshire. Dating back to the Norman period, this architectural gem had unfortunately fallen into disrepair by the early 19th century and faced imminent demolition. However, thanks to the valiant efforts of a local farmer who recognized its historical significance, this magnificent structure was saved from destruction. In 1850-51, under the skilled hands of Ferrey, a talented restoration architect, St. Laurence's Church underwent a remarkable transformation. This detailed view showcases the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into reviving this once-neglected entrance. Henry Taunt expertly captured this momentous occasion in 1883 through his lens. The photograph allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of Victorian architecture and the timeless elegance of Norman design elements present in this doorway. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of our rich architectural heritage but also of how communities can come together to safeguard their history for future generations. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication in preserving our cultural treasures against all odds.
