EDITORS COMMENTS
New College Lane, Oxford: A Stroll Down Memory Lane with the Baden-Powell Family (circa 1840s) Step back in time with this photograph of Reverend George Baden-Powell and his wife, Henrietta Warrington Baden-Powell, taking a leisurely stroll down New College Lane in the heart of Oxford, England. The image, captured in the 1840s, offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegant Victorian-era attire and the picturesque surroundings of this historic university town. Reverend Baden-Powell, a prominent figure in the Church of England, is best known for his association with the Scouting movement. However, this photograph predates the founding of the Scouts by several decades. Instead, it captures a moment of relaxation and companionship between the reverend and his wife, as they enjoy a quiet walk along the cobblestone lane. New College Lane, a narrow street lined with ancient buildings and historic sites, has been an integral part of Oxford's rich history for centuries. The lane's name derives from the prestigious New College, one of the oldest and most renowned educational institutions in the world. Founded in 1379, New College has produced numerous scholars, statesmen, and intellectuals throughout its history. This evocative photograph invites us to imagine the stories and experiences that unfolded in this very spot over the centuries. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring charm and history of Oxford and the Baden-Powell family's connection to this remarkable place.
