EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of St Mary's Parish Church in Sompting, West Sussex, dating back to the 1910s. The medieval church, nestled in the heart of this historic village, is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Sussex. The church, dedicated to St Mary, boasts a striking Rhenish helm tower, a distinctive feature of the Romanesque and early Gothic architectural styles. The pointed arches and intricate stonework on the tower and the nave are reminiscent of the 12th and 13th centuries, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The sepia tones of this photograph add to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The churchyard, dotted with ancient gravestones, tells the stories of generations of families who have called Sompting home. St Mary's Parish Church has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the changing seasons and the passage of centuries. It remains an integral part of the community, serving as a place of worship and a symbol of the area's rich history and heritage. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of our historic buildings, and a testament to the importance of preserving our architectural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
