EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1913, the quintessential English village of Kingham in Oxfordshire comes alive with the dedication of its new Lich-Gate. The scene is filled with a sense of community and tradition, as villagers and parishioners gather to celebrate this significant moment in the history of their parish. The Lich-Gate, also known as a Lych-Gate or Lyc-Gate, is a traditional English structure located at the entrance of a churchyard. It serves as a shelter for mourners during funerals and provides a protective canopy for the coffin as it is carried from the church to the grave. This particular Lich-Gate in Kingham is a beautiful example of the region's architectural heritage, with its intricate stone carvings and ornate details. The photograph captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd as they gather around the Vicar, who stands proudly in front of the new structure. Gentlemen in suits and women in hats and dresses mingle with children in their Sunday best, creating a scene of rural charm and simplicity. The open countryside stretches out in the background, adding to the idyllic setting. The dedication of the Lich-Gate was no doubt an important event for the people of Kingham, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the villagers and their connection to their community and their faith. The image is a testament to the enduring traditions and the rich history of the English countryside.
