EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing window detail at St. Chads Church in Farndon, Cheshire, dating back to the 20th century. The artist behind this remarkable piece is CM Dixon, whose talent truly brings out the beauty of this historical site. St. Chads Church holds great significance as it is dedicated to St Chad, an influential figure who passed away in AD 672. This Grade II Listed Building has witnessed numerous transformations throughout history. One notable restoration was carried out by William Barnston in 1658 during the aftermath of the English Civil War and the Siege of Chester in 1645. As a close advisor to Charles I, Barnston commissioned a Civil War window within the church premises as a tribute to the brave Royalist defenders of Chester. The print captures a moment frozen in time, depicting a musketeer standing proudly with his weaponry amidst this religious setting. It serves as a powerful reminder of England's turbulent past and its deep-rooted connection between politics and religion during that era. The image not only reflects on war but also pays homage to Sir Francis Gamul, another supporter of Charles I during the siege. Through this photograph, we gain insight into both personal and political aspects intertwined within history. CM Dixon's skillful portrayal allows us to appreciate every intricate detail etched onto glass panels that have stood for centuries. This stunning artwork transports us back through time while highlighting our rich cultural heritage and reminding us of those who fought bravely for their beliefs.
