EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Holy Trinity Church, nestled in the picturesque village of Tresillian, Truro, Cornwall. Steeped in history and Victorian charm, this architectural gem was initially erected as a mission church back in 1878. However, its significance grew over time, leading to an expansion and the addition of a bell tower in 1904 when it transformed into a parish church. The bells that grace this sacred place were once housed at Merther Church but now reside here after their previous home fell into ruin. These bells not only lend their melodious tones to worshipers but also serve as a poignant reminder of the region's rich heritage. Captured by the talented photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image transports us back to a bygone era where simplicity and tranquility reigned supreme. The surrounding landscape exudes Cornish charm with lush green fields stretching towards distant horizons. Adding to its allure is the Sunday School and Church Hall built just two years after this photograph was taken - in 1906 - providing space for community gatherings and religious education. This remarkable snapshot allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of Holy Trinity Church itself and its integral role within Tresillian's vibrant Victorian village life. It serves as an enduring testament to faith, resilience, and architectural beauty that continues to captivate visitors from near and far today.
