EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the serene interior of St James Church in Ashurst, West Sussex, on a peaceful summer day in 1895. The image beautifully showcases the intricate details and architectural grandeur of this historic place of worship. As we gaze upon the photograph, our eyes are drawn to the rows of meticulously carved wooden pews that fill the nave. Each pew tells a story, having witnessed countless prayers and hymns sung by generations past. The sunlight streaming through stained glass windows casts colorful patterns across the polished floorboards, creating an ethereal atmosphere within these sacred walls. In the center of this spiritual haven stands a majestic lectern, adorned with ornate carvings and displaying an open Bible. It serves as a focal point for sermons delivered from its elevated position, inspiring worshippers with its presence. The attention to detail captured in this photograph is truly remarkable; it allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the devotion that went into creating such a magnificent space for congregants to gather and find solace. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection at their Record Office, this image offers us a glimpse into history—a testament to both human creativity and faith. Let it serve as a reminder of how places like St James Church have stood steadfastly throughout time, providing comfort and inspiration for all who enter their hallowed halls.
