EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the ancient Congresbury Cross stands proudly in the heart of the picturesque English village of Congresbury, Somerset. Dating back to the 15th century, the cross is a significant historical landmark and a symbol of the village's rich heritage. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the cross towering over a scene of tranquility and simplicity. The surrounding buildings, mostly dating from the 18th and 19th centuries, are adorned with ivy and other creeping plants, adding to the sense of age and history. The trees in the background are bare, their branches reaching out like skeletal fingers against the grey sky, reflecting the passing of the seasons. The village of Congresbury, nestled in the rolling hills of Somerset, has a long and fascinating history. The cross at its center is believed to have once served as a market cross, a place where villagers would gather to buy and sell goods. Over the centuries, it has also been used as a place of execution and a site for public announcements. Despite the passage of time and the many changes that have taken place in the village, the Congresbury Cross remains a cherished symbol of the community. It continues to draw visitors from near and far, who come to marvel at its history and beauty. This photograph, taken in the 1950s, captures a moment in time when the cross stood alone, a testament to the enduring spirit of this ancient English village.
