EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent St Mary Magdalene Church in West Lavington, a true gem of architectural beauty. The exterior view captures not only the grandeur of the church but also its serene surroundings, with a picturesque churchyard that adds to its charm. In the foreground, two figures can be seen, perhaps lost in contemplation or marveling at the splendor before them. Built around 1850, this historic church holds more than just architectural significance. It serves as the final resting place for Richard Cobden, an influential figure known for his advocacy of free trade laws. Cobden's burial in this hallowed ground in 1865 further solidifies the historical importance and reverence associated with St Mary Magdalene. Preserved within this postcard print is a glimpse into history and heritage - a testament to West Lavington's rich past. The Hordern Collection and General Photographic Collection have thoughtfully preserved this image for generations to come. As part of their commitment to preserving local history, West Sussex County Council has made this remarkable photograph available through their records office under reference number Ph5629. This ensures that future generations can admire and appreciate both the architectural beauty of St Mary Magdalene Church and its significant connection to Richard Cobden's legacy without any commercial use involved.
