EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the year 1977, capturing a timeless view of The National School in St Mellion, Cornwall. Built in 1881, this architectural gem was not only a place of education but also an integral part of the community's history. Later known as St Mellion Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, it served generations of eager young minds. Photographer Charles Woolf skillfully captures the essence and charm of this historic building. The image showcases its stunning architecture with intricate details that stand out against the backdrop of lush greenery. The weather vane perched atop the school's roof adds a touch of whimsy while hinting at Cornwall's ever-changing climate. The presence of children playing joyfully around the schoolyard brings life to this snapshot frozen in time. Their laughter and energy are palpable even through the lens, reminding us that education is not just about books and classrooms; it is also about fostering friendships and creating cherished memories. As we admire this photograph, we can almost imagine hearing the sound of a bell echoing across St Mellion village, signaling another day filled with learning and discovery within those hallowed walls. This image serves as a testament to both Cornish heritage and educational excellence—a tribute to all who have passed through these doors seeking knowledge and inspiration for over a century.
