EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in March 1990, this print showcases Canon H. Miles Brown, a highly esteemed figure in St Winnow Parish, Cornwall. The image portrays the Rector at the time of his retirement, marking an important milestone in his dedicated service to the community. Following his departure from the parish, Canon Brown embarked on a new chapter as a lay canon at Truro Cathedral while continuing his passion for writing. Canon Brown's literary contributions were vast and significant. Among his notable works are 'A Century for Cornwall: The Diocese of Truro, 1877-1977' and 'The Story of Truro Cathedral. ' Prior to these publications, he had already established himself as an authority with books such as 'What to Look for in Churches, ' 'Cornish Clocks and Clockmakers, ' and 'Battles Royal, ' which delved into Cornwall's history during the Civil War. In this photograph by Jonathan Barker, we see Canon Brown surrounded by symbols of his life's work. His dog collar signifies his unwavering commitment to religion and spirituality. A typewriter rests on a bookshelf nearby—a testament to countless hours spent crafting eloquent prose that would educate and inspire readers far beyond Cornwall's borders. This remarkable image serves as a tribute to Canon H. Miles Brown—an individual whose influence extended well beyond St Winnow Parish—leaving an indelible mark on both local communities and those who appreciate Cornish heritage.
