EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print from December 1985, we are transported to the quaint town of Lostwithiel in Cornwall. The image captures a group of youngsters from St Winnow Church of England Primary School, eagerly participating in a Christingle service held at the beautiful St Winnow Church. Amidst the flickering candlelight and fragrant scent of oranges, these children stand united, their innocent faces filled with anticipation and joy. Their presence within the hallowed walls of this historic church speaks volumes about the strong sense of community that exists in this Cornish town. At the center of it all stands Canon H. Miles Brown, a beloved figure who has dedicated his life to guiding his congregation towards spiritual enlightenment. His warm smile radiates genuine affection for these young souls as he leads them through this sacred ceremony. To commemorate this special occasion, Gerry Toft, headteacher at St Winnow School, presents Canon Brown with a heartfelt drawing depicting both school and pupils intertwined. This touching gesture symbolizes not only gratitude but also serves as a testament to the deep bond between education and faith within Lostwithiel. This timeless photograph by Jonathan Barker encapsulates an enchanting moment frozen in time – one that celebrates tradition, spirituality, and unity among generations in picturesque Cornwall.
