EDITORS COMMENTS
St Saviour's Church, Southwark: A Victorian Gothic Masterpiece (1875) Step inside St Saviour's Church, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Southwark, London, and be transported back in time to the Victorian era. This evocative photograph, captured in 1875, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this stunning place of worship. The interior of St Saviour's Church is a testament to the grandeur of the Victorian Gothic style, with its soaring vaulted ceilings, intricately carved stonework, and stained glass windows casting kaleidoscopic patterns of light across the nave. The sense of awe and wonder is palpable, as the eye is drawn upwards to the heavens, where the delicate tracery of the arches seems to dance in the soft glow of the sunlight. The congregation, dressed in their Sunday best, can be seen gathered in the pews, their faces a mix of reverence and quiet contemplation. The sense of community and spiritual connection is strong, as they come together to celebrate their faith and pay homage to the divine. St Saviour's Church has a rich history, dating back to the 13th century, with the current building having been erected in the late 1800s. Designed by the renowned architect, John Loughborough Pearson, it is a true masterpiece of Victorian architecture, blending the old with the new, and offering a glimpse into the past while remaining a vibrant and active part of the Southwark community. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the beauty of architectural design, inviting us to pause and reflect on the rich history and spiritual significance of this remarkable place.
