EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in the 1910s in the picturesque village of Ripple, near Tewkesbury, Worcestershire. The central figure of the image is Alfred Quinton, a local villager, who stands proudly next to the ancient Village Cross, a symbol of the community and its rich history. Surrounding him are his fellow villagers, Robert and several other unidentified men, all gathered around the cross, likely for a village gathering or event. The men, dressed in traditional rural attire, hold various tools and implements of their trade, including a pitchfork and a horse-drawn cart. The horse, harnessed and ready to work, adds to the sense of industry and self-sufficiency that characterized rural communities during this era. The Village Cross, a medieval structure, stands tall and imposing in the background, its intricate carvings and weathered stone a testament to the passage of time. The cross, which dates back to the 15th century, has long been a focal point for the community, serving as a place of worship, a gathering spot, and a reminder of the village's rich history and traditions. The scene is idyllic, with the rolling hills and lush greenery providing a beautiful backdrop to the simple pleasures of rural life. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when community and tradition were at the heart of village life.
