EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Hamsey Old Church near Lewes on a serene summer day in 1948. The view up the track reveals the magnificent old St Peters church, which now stands as a testament to its medieval origins. Nestled amidst a rural landscape, this ancient Norman stone tower exudes an air of tranquility and history. Once a vibrant place of worship, St Peters is now only used during the summer months and at Christmas. Its weathered exterior tells tales of generations past who sought solace within its walls. To the left of the church, we see a shelter adorned with discarded farm machinery, hinting at the changing times and evolving agricultural practices. The George Garland Collection has preserved this remarkable image for future generations to appreciate and reflect upon. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world, there are pockets where time seems to stand still – where ancient structures like St Peters continue to inspire awe and reverence. This print from West Sussex County Council's archives showcases not just architectural marvels but also invites us to ponder our connection with history and nature. Let it transport you back in time as you immerse yourself in this picturesque scene steeped in nostalgia and rural charm.
