EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of Lostwithiel, Cornwall. Taken in May 1997, it showcases the entire Lostwithiel Town Council gathered for the Mayor Choosing ceremony to honor Councillor John Andrew. Mr. Andrew had previously served as Mayor in 1996 and was now ready to take on another year of civic responsibility. The photograph is beautifully composed, with the back row featuring prominent figures such as Jonathan Abbiss, the Town Sergeant, along with other council members including John Saundry, Rob Peareth, Warren Nicholls, and more. The front row proudly displays key individuals like Jude Martelli and Jeanne Jones alongside Fran Dennison, the dedicated Town Clerk. The group stands united in front of Taprell House - a recently refurbished building that houses various important establishments within Lostwithiel. This historic structure accommodates not only the Methodist Church but also an art gallery, library facilities, and meeting rooms for community gatherings. Photographer Jonathan Barker has expertly captured this momentous occasion while emphasizing traditional Cornish robes worn by council members during ceremonial events. The regalia adds an air of dignity and respect to this image that symbolizes both local pride and democratic governance. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Lostwithiel's rich heritage and its commitment to upholding civic traditions throughout generations.
