EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in the history of the Mothers Union of St Winnow, Cornwall. Taken in November 1988, it portrays the members attending their final meeting under the guidance of their beloved leader, Pat Brown. Seated in the second row on the right side, Pat exudes warmth and grace as she bids farewell to her dedicated group. The meetings were traditionally held at the Rectory near St Winnow Church, where Pat's husband, Canon H. Miles Brown served as Rector. The rectory provided a welcoming space for these Cornish mothers to gather and support one another through life's joys and challenges. However, with Canon Brown's retirement approaching, this gathering marks not only an end but also a new beginning for both Pat and her husband. Following their departure from St Winnow, H. Miles Brown would go on to become a canon at Truro Cathedral—a testament to his dedication and service within Cornwall's religious community. Photographed by Jonathan Barker with great skill and sensitivity, this image immortalizes not just an organization but also a sense of camaraderie that transcends time. It serves as a reminder of how important these connections are in our lives—especially during times of transition—and how they shape our journeys even after we bid farewell to familiar places like lostwithiel or cherished roles like being part of the Mothers Union family
