EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a tranquil Victorian winter scene on this beautiful Christmas card, featuring a picturesque snow-covered farmyard in the heart of Sussex. In the distance, the spires of St Margaret's Church, Ifield, stand proud against the wintry sky, a landmark that holds a rich historical connection to the world of literature and humor. This idyllic snow scene, reminiscent of a bygone era, transports us back to the late 1890s. The farmyard is alive with the rustic charm of rural life, as a flock of sheep huddle together for warmth, their white coats standing out against the pristine snow. The farm buildings, with their red-tiled roofs and chimneys billowing smoke, add to the quintessential charm of the countryside. St Margaret's Church, Ifield, holds a special place in history as the final resting place of Mark Lemon, the founding Editor of Punch and The Field. Lemon, a prominent figure in Victorian literary circles, was not only a prolific writer but also an influential figure in the world of journalism and satire. His burial in this humble churchyard adds an intriguing layer of history to this snowy scene. As you send this card to your loved ones this Christmas, allow the image of this peaceful winter scene to bring warmth to their hearts, reminding them of the simple pleasures of rural life and the rich history that lies within the charming villages of Sussex.
