EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Village, Great Waltham, Essex, captured in 1911. Located near Chelmsford and Broomfield, this quaint English village exudes a charm that has remained unchanged for over a century. The photograph showcases the picturesque cottages with thatched roofs and their vibrant gardens, nestled amongst the rolling hills and lush greenery. The village green, dotted with trees and surrounded by quaint houses, serves as the heart of the community, where residents would gather for social events and daily life. In the background, the tall, majestic church tower of St. Lawrence's Church stands proudly, a testament to the rich history of the village. The church, which dates back to the 13th century, is a significant landmark and a source of pride for the people of Great Waltham. The image also reveals a glimpse of the village's rural way of life, with farmers tending to their livestock in the fields and children playing in the streets. The horses and carts, a common mode of transportation at the time, add to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is a precious reminder of a simpler time, when life moved at a slower pace, and the beauty of nature and community were cherished. It invites us to appreciate the charm and history of Great Waltham, Essex, and the enduring spirit of rural England.
