EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the side view of St Juliot Rectory, a Grade II listed Old Rectory located near Boscastle in Cornwall. The rectory, built around 1847, stands as a testament to the architectural beauty of its time. In 1868, this historic building became home to Emma Gifford (later Hardy), who moved here to join her sister Helen Catherine and her husband Reverend Caddell Holder. It was during his visit to St Juliot Rectory that Thomas Hardy first met Emma, an encounter that would later inspire the opening chapters of his renowned novel, A Pair of Blue Eyes. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Charles Woolf, whose lens skillfully captured the essence and charm of this Cornish gem. The photograph showcases not only the grandeur of the rectory but also highlights its idyllic surroundings. As you gaze upon this print, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to witness the meeting between two literary souls within these very walls. This photo serves as a poignant reminder of how places hold memories and stories that shape our lives
