EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1966 showcases the picturesque village of Herodsfoot in Cornwall, with its timeless charm and breathtaking scenery. The lens of renowned photographer Charles Woolf beautifully captures this idyllic scene, focusing on the view towards All Saints church. The image transports us back in time to a bygone era when life seemed simpler and more serene. Cornish houses dot the landscape, their traditional architecture blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Each building tells a story of generations past, echoing the rich heritage that Cornwall is known for. A signpost stands proudly at a crossroads, guiding travelers through this quaint village nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery. It serves as a symbol of direction and discovery – an invitation to explore all that Herodsfoot has to offer. Notably, this photograph holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It reminds us that Herodsfoot is one of Britain's "Thankful Villages" having lost no residents during World War I – a rare distinction shared by only a handful of communities across the country. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let it serve as a reminder to appreciate both our history and our present surroundings. May it inspire gratitude for places like Herodsfoot where beauty intertwines with resilience, creating an enduring legacy worth preserving for future generations to cherish.
