EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting world of Michelham Priory in 1896. Standing tall and proud, the Gate Tower takes center stage, exuding an air of mystery and history. Covered in a lush blanket of ivy, it seems as though nature itself is embracing this ancient structure. The photographer, John Fletcher, masterfully captures the essence of this architectural gem through his lens. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the image, highlighting intricate details such as the stone carvings adorning the tower's facade. It is evident that Fletcher possesses a keen eye for composition and a deep appreciation for Sussex's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this photograph from West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, we are transported into a bygone era where time seemingly stood still. We can almost hear whispers echoing through its walls - tales of monks who once called this priory home and stories that have become woven into its very fabric. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our duty to preserve these historical treasures for future generations. It invites us to explore Wanderings in Sussex with curiosity and reverence, uncovering hidden gems like Michelham Priory along the way
