EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Old Radnor Church, the final resting place of Sir G. C. Lewis in 1864. The church, dating back to the 15th century, stands as a testament to centuries of history and architectural craftsmanship.
The image showcases St Stephen's Church in all its glory, with its intricate gothic details and timeless elegance. It is easy to imagine the solemnity of the funeral procession that took place here just a few months prior to this engraving being created.
Sir George Cornewall Lewis, a prominent figure in British politics and society, found his eternal rest within these hallowed grounds. His legacy lives on through this historic church and its significance as a family burial place for generations past.
As we gaze upon this engraving from the "Illustrated London News" of 1864, we are transported back in time to an era where faith and tradition were deeply intertwined with everyday life. The meticulous attention to detail captured by the unknown creator allows us to appreciate not only the physical structure of Old Radnor Church but also the spiritual essence that permeates its walls.
This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experience across time and space, connecting us with those who came before us and honoring their memory in perpetuity.
