EDITORS COMMENTS
St Wynwallows Church, nestled in the quaint village of Landewednack in the heart of Cornwall, England, is a beautiful example of medieval architecture that has stood the test of time. Circa 1905, this photograph captures the essence of the church's historic charm, with its distinctive crenellated tower reaching towards the sky. The churchyard, filled with age-old headstones, tells the stories of those who came before us, their names etched in stone as a testament to their lives lived in this Cornish community. The grassy path leading to the church entrance is lined with ancient yew trees, their gnarled branches forming a natural barrier against the elements. The church itself, dedicated to St Wynwallows or Winwaloe, is believed to date back to the 15th century, making it a cherished piece of Cornish heritage. The intricate carvings and details of the stonework are a reminder of the craftsmanship and artistry of the past. The crenellation along the tower and the church walls add a sense of fortress to this sacred place, a reminder of the protective role churches played in medieval times. The peaceful atmosphere of the churchyard, with its quiet reflection and connection to the past, invites visitors to pause and reflect on the passing of time and the enduring spirit of the Cornish people.
