EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the serene Old St. Pancras Churchyard in central London, circa 1780. The image, created by an unknown artist and published in "The New British Traveller" offers a glimpse into the architectural marvels of St Pancras Old Church, whose origins can be traced back to the Norman period. As we explore this enchanting scene, we are transported to a bygone era when Christianity played a significant role in shaping society. The churchyard's ancient gravestones stand as silent witnesses to centuries of life and death within these hallowed grounds. The print showcases the exterior of the churchyard, surrounded by a rustic fence that separates it from bustling city life. It is evident that nature has claimed its space here too, with overgrown foliage adding an air of mystery and tranquility. Sir Walter Besant's book "London in the Eighteenth Century" further immortalizes this historical site for generations to come. His words paint vivid pictures of London's past while preserving its cultural heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of our connection to history and how architecture can transcend centuries. This print serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and a reminder that even amidst urban landscapes, there will always be spaces where spirituality thrives.
