EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures St. Mary's Church in Wareham, Dorset, England, during the 1950s. The historic church, which dates back to the 14th century, overlooks the picturesque River Frome. The chancel, a surviving relic of the old church, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Dorset countryside. Sadly, the large late Saxon nave of this magnificent building was demolished in 1840 to make way for a new one. The loss of the ancient nave was a significant blow to the historical significance of this church. The new nave, while elegant in its own right, cannot compare to the grandeur and history of the original. The photograph captures the tranquility of the scene, with the gentle flow of the River Frome and the dotted boats moored along its banks adding to the serene atmosphere. The buildings along the riverbank, with their sloping roofs and chimneys, add to the quaint charm of this idyllic setting. Despite the loss of the old nave, St. Mary's Church remains an important historical landmark in Wareham. The church's rich history spans over seven centuries, and its chancel, with its intricate stonework and stained glass windows, continues to draw visitors from near and far. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the past, and the importance of preserving our historical and cultural heritage for future generations.
