EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage photo print, dating back to around 1905, is the magnificent St Agnes Church located in Cornwall. The image showcases the church from its west end, revealing its striking spire that had endured a fateful encounter with lightning on the ominous day of March 15th, 1905. Through the lens of photographer Arthur Philp, this snapshot immortalizes a momentous event in the history of this sacred place. The towering spire stands tall against an expansive sky as if defiantly proclaiming resilience amidst adversity. Its weathered exterior bears witness to the powerful forces of nature that once struck it down but failed to diminish its grandeur and spiritual significance. The intricate architectural details are beautifully highlighted by Philp's skillful composition, capturing both the delicate craftsmanship and enduring strength embodied within these historic walls. This photograph also offers a glimpse into St Agnes Church's serene surroundings - a tranquil churchyard where time seems suspended. Ancient gravestones stand as silent witnesses to generations past while vibrant flora breathes life into every corner. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst change and upheaval, there are places like St Agnes Church that remain steadfast anchors for communities throughout history. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this evocative print invites us to reflect upon our shared heritage and marvel at human ingenuity in constructing such awe-inspiring structures. As we gaze upon this visual testament of endurance and grace, may we be inspired by those
