EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Thorpe Church, captured in approximately 1911 by the talented artist James Ogilvy. The church, known as St Mary's Church, is located in Thorpe, England and holds a rich history that dates back to the 7th century. Chertsey Abbey records reveal that there has been a place of worship at Thorpe since ancient times. The chancel of this parish church was originally built as a secluded chapel for the exclusive use of Chertsey's Abbot. Remarkably, it stands on foundations that trace back to both Roman and pre-Roman eras, adding an extra layer of historical significance. The nave of Thorpe Church we see today originates from the 10th century, further emphasizing its deep-rooted heritage. This remarkable architectural gem serves as a testament to centuries of faith and devotion within this community. James S. Ogilvy expertly captures the essence and grandeur of this sacred space through his lens. His photograph transports us back in time to witness the serene beauty and intricate details that make up Thorpe Church. Preserved within A Pilgrimage In Surrey, Vol. 1 published by George Routledge & Sons Limited in London during 1914, this image allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent but also provides valuable insight into our cultural past.
