EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the serene countryside of St Merryn, Cornwall in 1906. The distant view showcases the magnificent St Merryn Church, standing tall amidst a picturesque landscape. In the foreground, we see a horse-drawn trap with Wesley Hawken, a local farmer at that time, proudly standing beside it. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as it captures a moment frozen in time. The horses and carriage are said to have originated from Prideaux Place in Padstow, adding an element of elegance to this rural scene. It is fascinating to imagine how these majestic creatures once traversed through the narrow lanes of this idyllic village. Photographed by Herbert Hughes, this image not only highlights the beauty of Cornwall's countryside but also provides valuable insight into its agricultural heritage. The farmyard at Treveglos serves as a backdrop for this charming snapshot, reminding us of the importance farming held within these communities. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we can't help but appreciate the simplicity and authenticity captured within its frame. It transports us back over a century ago when life moved at a slower pace and nature reigned supreme. This remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum allows us to connect with our past and cherish the timeless charm that still exists within Cornwall's rural landscapes today.
