EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from May 1984 showcases the esteemed tradition of Mayor Making in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The focal point of the image is none other than the remarkable Mayor of Lostwithiel herself, Gwen Powell-Jones. Adorned in her resplendent mayoral robes and chains, Mrs Powell-Jones exudes a sense of dignity and pride as she poses alongside two significant symbols of authority - the Mace and Oar. These ceremonial objects are not merely decorative; they hold great historical significance for this quaint Cornish town. Carried by the Town Sergeant and Sergeant at Arms during official events, these artifacts symbolize power and governance within Lostwithiel's civic community. Mrs Powell-Jones served as Mayor with distinction for an impressive tenure spanning from 1984 to 1986. Her commitment to public service is evident through her regal presence in this photograph captured by Jonathan Barker. The composition beautifully captures both the cultural heritage and timeless elegance associated with mayorship in Cornwall. With its bicorn hat perched atop Mrs Powell-Jones' head, along with other elements of traditional town regalia visible in the background, this image serves as a poignant reminder of our rich history. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect upon the enduring legacy left behind by dedicated individuals like Gwen Powell-Jones who have shaped their communities through civic duty and ceremonial traditions.
