EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the intricately carved Doorway of the Church of St Mary and St David, an Anglican parish church nestled in the picturesque village of Kilpeck, Herefordshire, England. Dating back to the 12th century, this medieval masterpiece is a testament to the rich heritage and craftsmanship of the region. The doorway, adorned with ornate stone carvings, is a feast for the eyes. The central arch is flanked by two tall, slender columns, each topped with a lantern and intricately carved figures. The arch itself is filled with a vibrant array of biblical and mythological scenes, including the Last Judgment, the Crucifixion, and various saints and grotesques. The carvings on the doorway are not only decorative but also symbolic, representing the Christian faith and the passage from this world to the next. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each figure and motif expertly carved and preserved, despite the passage of time. The doorway of the Church of St Mary and St David is a true gem of English heritage, a reminder of the country's rich history and artistic legacy. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the doorway in all its glory, offering a glimpse into the past and a glimpse of the beauty that can still be found in the world's oldest and most cherished structures.
