Crosses Glance Lacock Safety Sideways Wiltshire
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph taken in the 1950s, two little girls pause in their play to admire the ancient Lacock Village Cross in Wiltshire, England. The quaint village, famed for its picturesque honey-colored cottages and historic buildings, is nestled in the rolling hills of the English countryside. The girls, dressed in simple yet stylish outfits of the era, turn their heads sideways to get a better look at the weathered cross, its intricate carvings and timeworn surface a testament to the passage of centuries. The Lacock Village Cross, also known as the "Wool Fair Cross," stands proudly on the village green, a symbol of the community's rich history and deep-rooted traditions. The cross, believed to date back to the 15th century, has served as a gathering place for villagers for centuries, with the annual Wool Fair being a particularly noteworthy event. As the girls gaze at the ancient structure, their innocent curiosity and sense of wonder reflect the timeless allure of this charming village. The photograph captures a moment of simple pleasure and connection to the past, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and history of this idyllic English scene. The girls' safety is ensured by the presence of the stone wall and the lush greenery surrounding the cross, adding to the sense of tranquility and serenity. This image, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a treasure trove of nostalgia and a reminder of the enduring charm of rural England.
