EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1998, we are transported to the picturesque town of Fowey in Cornwall. Standing proudly on Fowey Town Quay, with the stunning harbor as their backdrop, we meet a remarkable couple - Andy and Lesley McCartney, the husband and wife team of macebearers. Dressed immaculately in tricorn hats and donning white gloves, Andy and Lesley embody the essence of Cornish civic ceremony. Holding their ornate maces with grace and dignity, they fulfill an important role within their community. At that time, they believed themselves to be the only married couple in all of Britain entrusted with such a prestigious task. Captured by talented photographer Jonathan Barker, this image not only freezes a moment in time but also encapsulates tradition and devotion. The McCartneys' commitment to serving their town is evident through their regal presence. The ceremonial significance of these maces cannot be understated; they symbolize authority and power while representing centuries-old traditions. This photograph serves as a testament to Cornwall's rich heritage and its people's dedication to upholding it. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot from history, let us appreciate the McCartneys' unwavering commitment to preserving local customs. Their love for each other undoubtedly mirrors their love for Fowey – two intertwined passions that make them truly unique figures within Cornwall's vibrant tapestry of culture.
