EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the timeless beauty of St James Church, Ashurst, on a serene day in May 1898. The towering spire stands proudly against the clear blue sky, reaching towards the heavens as if to touch the divine. A pathway gracefully leads visitors through the churchyard, inviting them to explore this sacred place. In this snapshot from history, a lone figure can be seen standing on the pathway. Perhaps he is a parishioner deep in thought or an admirer taking in the magnificent view. His presence adds a human element to this nostalgic scene and reminds us of all those who have walked these grounds before us. The West Sussex Record Office has preserved this precious piece of local heritage within their Photographic Collection. It serves as a testament to our shared history and offers glimpses into bygone eras for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this image today, it evokes feelings of tranquility and reverence for both nature and architecture. The charm of rural Sussex is palpable here – its idyllic countryside setting providing an enchanting backdrop for spiritual contemplation. Let us cherish these snapshots from yesteryears that connect us with our roots and inspire gratitude for those who came before us. This photograph encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also represents our collective longing for connection with something greater than ourselves - reminding us that even amidst change, some things remain constant.
