EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the moment of joy and camaraderie among the members of the Great Mitton Church Choir as they prepare for their annual picnic outing in the picturesque village of Great Mitton, Lancashire, England, in the year 1897. The image, taken before their journey to Whalley, shows the choir members gathered in front of the historic St. Andrew's Church, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation. Dressed in their Sunday best, they are seen carrying baskets and blankets, ready to enjoy a day of relaxation and fellowship in the beautiful English countryside. Great Mitton, located in the Ribble Valley, has a rich history that dates back to the 12th century. The village's charming stone cottages, rolling hills, and the River Ribble have long been a source of inspiration for artists and writers. The Church of St. Andrew, with its impressive tower and ornate stained glass windows, has been an integral part of the community for centuries. The tradition of the church choir picnic is believed to have started as a way for the choir members to bond and strengthen their relationships outside of the church setting. It was an opportunity for them to come together, share a meal, and enjoy each other's company in the idyllic surroundings of the countryside. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of community, tradition, and the simple pleasures of life, all of which continue to be cherished in Great Mitton and beyond.
