EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting St Crewennas Church, nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Crowan, Cornwall. Captured around 1860 by the talented photographer William Marsden Harrison, this image showcases a moment frozen in history before the church's restoration. The focal point of this scene is undoubtedly the magnificent St Aubyn altar frontal and candlesticks adorning the ancient altar. Crafted with exquisite detail and precision, these religious artifacts exude an air of reverence and spirituality. The marble surfaces gleam softly under the gentle glow of sunlight filtering through stained glass windows. As we explore further into this sacred space, our eyes are drawn towards an alcove housing a delicate urn. Perhaps it holds remnants of holy water or serves as a vessel for prayers offered by devoted parishioners throughout centuries past. This alcove stands as a testament to faith and devotion that has echoed within these hallowed walls for generations. St Crewennas Church itself dates back to the 15th century, its architectural beauty reflecting an era long gone but not forgotten. However, it was not until 1872 that J. P. St Aubyn undertook substantial restoration work on this cherished place of worship. Through this remarkable photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to witness both the grandeur and serenity that once graced St Crewennas Church—a glimpse into a world where spirituality intertwined seamlessly with artistry and history.
