EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting landscape of Roche, Cornwall in 1910. Standing tall against the horizon is the magnificent Roche Rock, its rugged beauty commanding attention from all who lay eyes upon it. The photographer, Herbert Hughes, skillfully captures this general view of the rock from the northeast, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur. Nestled atop this imposing formation is a small chapel that dates back centuries. Built in the early 15th century and dedicated to St Michael in 1409, it serves as a testament to both Cornish history and religious devotion. The chapel's presence on Roche Rock adds an air of mystique and spirituality to an already awe-inspiring sight. As we gaze at this image frozen in time, we are transported to an era where nature's wonders intertwined with faith. It reminds us of how religion played a significant role in shaping communities throughout Cornwall's rich heritage. Let us immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history - appreciating not only Herbert Hughes' artistic talent but also reflecting on the profound connection between man-made structures and their natural surroundings. May this photograph serve as a reminder of our ancestors' enduring reverence for both land and spirituality – two elements deeply ingrained within Cornish culture.
