EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting village of Cuckfield on a summer day in 1894. Stepping into this snapshot from the past, we find ourselves standing before the magnificent lych gate that guards the entrance to the churchyard. Its weathered wooden structure stands tall and proud, adorned with intricate carvings that speak volumes about Victorian craftsmanship. As our gaze wanders beyond the gate, we are greeted by a serene scene of tranquility. The lush greenery surrounds ancient tombstones and delicate flowers, creating an atmosphere steeped in history and reverence. This sacred space is not merely a graveyard but also a testament to West Sussex's rich heritage. The composition captures more than just architectural beauty; it evokes nostalgia for simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. The image invites us to reflect upon those who have come before us, their stories etched into these hallowed grounds. In this single frame, East Sussex meets West Sussex as two counties unite through shared history and culture. It serves as a reminder of how interconnected our communities truly are. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's General Photographic Collection, this photograph allows us to glimpse into an era long gone while appreciating the enduring charm of Cuckfield's architecture and its significance within both local and national contexts.
