EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Canon Cotter stands solemnly in the ancient pulpit of Zennor Church, located near the picturesque village of St Ives in Cornwall, England. The pulpit, adorned with intricate carvings, is a testament to the rich history and deep roots of Christianity in this medieval building. At the end of the pew, a Mermaid of Zennor figure captivates the viewer's attention. The mermaid, with her long, flowing hair, holds a mirror in one hand and a comb in the other, suggesting the vanity and allure often associated with the mythical creature. The Mermaid of Zennor is a popular local legend, believed to have lived in the nearby sea and visited the village in human form. According to the story, she would attend church services and sit in this very pew, combing her long hair with the comb provided. The carving on the pew is a beautiful example of the intricate woodwork that can be found throughout the church. Canon Cotter, dressed in his clergy vestments, appears deep in thought as he delivers his sermon to the congregation. The white surplice and black robe are traditional vestments worn by Anglican clergymen during religious services. The pulpit, with its ornate carvings and wooden construction, adds to the sense of history and tradition in the scene. The photograph, taken in the 1980s, captures the timeless beauty of the Mermaid of Zennor pew and the reverence of the clergyman as he delivers his message in this historic Cornish church. The image invites the viewer to contemplate the intersection of myth, history, and faith in this unique and enchanting place.
