EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship and daring spirit of two steeplejack brothers. In the summer of 1954, against the picturesque backdrop of Graffham Church, these brave men embarked on a mission to hoist the gilded cock atop St Giles Church's towering steeple. With unwavering determination etched across their faces, they fearlessly ascended an imposing ladder that seemed to reach for the heavens. Their synchronized movements and expert coordination showcased years of experience honing their craft. As they carefully maneuvered through each rung, it was evident that this task required both physical strength and mental fortitude. The gleaming gold cock poised at the pinnacle symbolized triumph over adversity and stood as a testament to human ingenuity. Against the rustic charm of Graffham's flint wall architecture and framed by an elegant church window, this iconic image exudes timeless beauty. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our rich heritage and collective achievements. It encapsulates not only a pivotal moment in architectural history but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who dedicated their lives to preserving our sacred landmarks. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring scene today, let us be reminded of the indomitable spirit that drives humanity forward – forever striving for greatness while cherishing our past with reverence and admiration.
