EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Ashington, Sussex on a chilly winter day, precisely on 17 December 1948. The focal point of this enchanting scene is undoubtedly the magnificent St Peter and St Paul's Church, standing proudly against the backdrop of a serene countryside. Its bell turret gracefully pierces through the cloudy sky, while its ancient architecture tells tales of centuries past. In the foreground lies an unexpected juxtaposition - old agricultural equipment scattered across a vast field. These remnants from a bygone era serve as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, rural traditions hold steadfastly onto their roots. The George Garland Collection has preserved this remarkable snapshot, allowing us to glimpse into Ashington's history with gratitude. This invaluable record can be found at West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N31216. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes apparent that every element holds significance - from the sturdy nave and chancel to the humble two-cell structure nestled within nature's embrace. It is evident that this place was not only a spiritual sanctuary but also an integral part of daily life for generations past. Let us cherish this moment frozen in time; an homage to Ashington's rich heritage and its enduring connection with both faith and agriculture.
