EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at St Mary's Church in Littlehampton, West Sussex, during the early 20th century. In the foreground, we see people diligently engaged in their work using a steam-powered threshing machine against the picturesque backdrop of St Mary's Church. The church itself underwent significant expansion in the late 19th century with the addition of a new chancel and Lady Chapel. However, by 1930, due to its deteriorating structural condition, this historic church had to be demolished. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of its existence before its unfortunate fate. The image showcases both architectural elements: the original structure and its extension from the late 19th century. The scene also provides insight into rural life during that era, highlighting agriculture and farming practices prevalent at that time. The presence of a steam engine further emphasizes technological advancements being incorporated into traditional countryside activities. Preserved within Historic England Archive's collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to glimpse into history and appreciate how different aspects of society intersected – religion, architecture, technology, and daily labor – all captured within one frame.
