EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s transports us back to a simpler time in rural Cornwall. The image showcases a cluster of farm buildings nestled close to St Merryn Church, surrounded by the idyllic countryside that defines this picturesque region. Standing proudly against the skyline, the parish church adds an air of tranquility and spirituality to the scene. In the foreground, a charming farmhouse comes into view as we gaze down a narrow lane. Its stone walls exude timeless beauty and offer glimpses into daily life on this working farm. A donkey patiently waits alongside an old cart near the hedgerow, perhaps ready for its next task or simply enjoying a moment of respite amidst its duties. The presence of these humble farming elements speaks volumes about the importance of agriculture in Cornish history and culture. It reminds us of how generations before us relied on their land and animals for sustenance and livelihoods. As we take in this snapshot frozen in time, it's impossible not to appreciate both the simplicity and complexity intertwined within rural life. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to nature, community, and tradition – values deeply rooted in Cornish heritage
