EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the picturesque village of Wisborough Green in February 1948. The image captures a heartwarming moment between a father and his daughter as they stand side by side, ready to ring the bells at their local church. The father, dressed in traditional attire befitting the era, exudes an air of pride and expertise in campanology - the art of bell ringing. His weathered hands firmly grasp one end of a thick rope that disappears into the depths above him. Beside him stands his young daughter, mirroring her father's stance with determination shining through her eyes. This snapshot encapsulates not only a cherished family tradition but also highlights the importance of community involvement within small villages during this time period. The bond shared between parent and child is palpable; it is evident that knowledge and skills are being passed down from generation to generation. The backdrop showcases an idyllic rural setting with hints of architectural beauty peeking through surrounding trees – perhaps hinting at the grandeur awaiting inside the church walls. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when families came together for communal activities such as bell ringing. It allows us to reflect on our own heritage while appreciating those who have come before us, leaving behind lasting legacies that continue to shape our communities today.
