EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the picturesque village of Alfriston on a summer day in 1893. Standing proudly amidst the lush countryside of East Sussex, we see the pre-reformation rectory, once a symbol of tranquility and spiritual guidance for this rural community. However, time has taken its toll on this historic timber building, as it now stands in a dilapidated state. The thatched roof, which was once meticulously crafted by skilled hands, now shows signs of wear and tear. Its golden hue has faded over the years but still retains an air of nostalgia. The cottage itself exudes rustic charm with its weathered wooden beams and aged brickwork. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace. We can almost imagine villagers going about their daily routines - tending to their gardens or exchanging pleasantries along the cobblestone paths. This photograph is not just a visual representation; it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the importance of preserving historical landmarks like this rectory. It reminds us that even though buildings may age and crumble under nature's forces, they hold stories within their walls that deserve to be cherished. Thanks to West Sussex County Council's Photographic Collection at the Record Office, we have been granted access to these glimpses into our past – allowing us to appreciate where we come from and inspire future generations with tales from long ago.
