EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from August 1982, capturing a moment of community spirit and historical re-enactment in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. Members of the Lostwithiel Playgroup can be seen enthusiastically selling mugs as part of a fundraiser during the re-enactment of the civil war battle that took place exactly three centuries earlier. The scene unfolds on fields near the original battleground where members of the renowned Sealed Knot Society passionately recreate historic events. Dressed in bonnets and shawls reminiscent of the era, these dedicated individuals transport us to an era long gone but not forgotten. The beautifully crafted mugs showcased here were lovingly made by John Webb, a local potter who operated his business right here in Lostwithiel. Each mug tells its own story, bearing witness to both history and community collaboration. This photograph is more than just a snapshot; it encapsulates the essence of unity and shared purpose within this close-knit Cornish town. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, traditions are cherished and celebrated. As you gaze upon this image, allow yourself to be transported to another time – imagine the sounds of laughter echoing across those fields and feel the warmth radiating from each smiling face. This print is not just an artifact; it's an invitation to immerse yourself in history.
