EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the Tomb of Dean Kitchin, a remarkable headstone commemorating G. W. Kitchin, who served as the esteemed Dean of Durham from 1894 to 1912. As the first Chancellor of Durham University, his legacy is forever etched in stone. The image showcases a listed grave stone adorned with an intricately carved cross, standing tall amidst a serene backdrop of glistening snow. The contrast between the coldness of winter and the warmth emanating from this sacred site evokes a sense of reverence and contemplation. Bob Cottrell ARPS AFIAP DPAGB skillfully captures every detail, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this memorial but also its historical significance. The composition draws attention to both the grandeur and simplicity inherent in death's embrace. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to reflect upon an individual whose contributions have left an indelible mark on Durham's academic and spiritual landscape. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in death, one can leave behind a lasting legacy that continues to inspire generations. Historic England has once again curated an extraordinary piece that invites us to pause and contemplate our own mortality while appreciating those who came before us. This print is more than just art; it is a powerful testament to human resilience and our innate desire for remembrance.
