EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: St Mary the Virgin at Twickenham, 1897: A Blend of Medieval and Neo-Classical Architecture This evocative photograph, taken in 1897, captures the picturesque and historic St Mary the Virgin Church in Twickenham, London. The image showcases the harmonious coexistence of two distinct architectural styles: the medieval Perpendicular and the later Neo-Classical. At the heart of the composition is the 60-foot flint and stone medieval tower, built in the Perpendicular style. Its intricate design, characterized by the vertical emphasis of its tracery, is a testament to the rich history of English Gothic architecture. The tower's age-old charm stands proudly against the backdrop of the changing times, its presence a reminder of the past. Adjacent to the medieval tower is the later Neo-Classical building, which adds an element of elegance and refinement to the scene. The clean lines and symmetrical features of this architectural style provide a striking contrast to the organic and ornate nature of the medieval tower. The harmonious blend of these two styles is a testament to the architectural evolution that took place during the 1800s. The photograph, taken in 1897, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the old and the new coexisted in harmony. The tranquil setting, with the sun casting long shadows over the church grounds, adds to the serene and contemplative atmosphere. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and historical significance of St Mary the Virgin Church in Twickenham.
