EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Churchtown, St Keverne, Cornwall, after the year 1920. The focal point of this picturesque scene is undoubtedly the magnificent church tower with its newly installed clock. A testament to the passage of time and a symbol of community life, this clock was proudly put in place in 1907. The church itself underwent significant renovations just a year later when it was re-roofed in 1908. This restoration project not only ensured the preservation of this historic place of worship but also breathed new life into its architectural splendor. As we shift our gaze towards the foreground, our attention is drawn to a charming house adorned with a slate roof that was added in 1920. The contrast between the traditional stone construction and the sleek slate roofing creates an intriguing visual juxtaposition. Captured by photographer Herbert Hughes, this image encapsulates both historical significance and aesthetic beauty. It invites us to reflect on how time has shaped this idyllic corner of Cornwall while reminding us that even amidst change and progress, some elements endure as timeless symbols of heritage. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this photograph offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich history and architectural marvels that define St Keverne Churchtown—a true gem nestled within Cornwall's breathtaking landscapes.
