EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Thomas Becket cottages in Tarring, Worthing, West Sussex during the early 20th century. These charming cottages hold a rich history dating back to the 10th century when King Athelstan gifted Tarring to the archbishops of Canterbury. Legend has it that this quaint village was graced by the presence of Thomas a Becket, the martyred archbishop, in the 12th century and later visited by St Richard of Chichester, patron saint of Sussex, in the 13th century. The monochrome image transports us back to a time when life unfolded at a slower pace. The Edwardian era ambiance is palpable as we glimpse people going about their daily routines against a backdrop reminiscent of Brighton's architectural style. The black and white tones add an air of nostalgia and mystery to this snapshot frozen in time. Preserved with care by The Print Collector, this postcard-worthy scene evokes curiosity about those who once called these cottages home. It invites us to imagine their lives within these walls and contemplate how they were touched by historical figures who walked these very streets centuries ago. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images' collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to connect us with our past—a testament to human resilience and enduring traditions that have shaped communities throughout generations.
