EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing by R. Borlase Smart depicts the ancient barn at Jordans Hostel, a historic site located in Buckinghamshire, England. Believed to have been constructed using timbers from the Mayflower, the barn holds significant historical importance as it is one of the few surviving links to the famed vessel that carried the Pilgrim Fathers across the Atlantic Ocean in 1620. The drawing, created in 1920, offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past, with its detailed depiction of the barn's weathered exterior and the intricate timberwork that is characteristic of traditional English barns. The viewer can almost imagine the passage of time etched into the ancient wood, bearing witness to the centuries that have passed since the barn's construction. The interior of the barn, though not visible in this drawing, is equally fascinating, with its high ceilings, massive timber beams, and open floor plan that once served as a gathering place for local farmers and their livestock. Today, the barn stands as a testament to the rich history of England's agricultural past, and a reminder of the incredible journey undertaken by the Pilgrim Fathers three centuries ago. As we celebrate the tercentenary of the Mayflower's historic voyage, this drawing serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of the Pilgrims and their quest for religious freedom. The ancient barn at Jordans Hostel stands as a symbol of the resilience and determination of those who came before us, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
