EDITORS COMMENTS
Arlington Row, Bibury: A Timeless Snapshot of the English Countryside Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Bibury, in the idyllic county of Gloucestershire, lies Arlington Row, a quintessential example of the Cotswold stone architecture that has captured the imagination of visitors for centuries. Photographed in 1901 by the renowned English photographer Henry Taunt, this image invites us to take a step back in time and immerse ourselves in the tranquil beauty of a bygone era. The well-known row of cottages, huddled together on the banks of the meandering River Coln, presents a scene of timeless charm. These charming dwellings, with their distinctive Cotswold stone facades, were converted from a monastic sheephouse dating back to around 1380. Ten bays of cruck trusses bear testament to their rich history, making them an invaluable part of England's architectural heritage. The gentle reflections of the cottages in the still waters of the River Coln add an ethereal quality to the scene, while the lush greenery that surrounds the row creates a harmonious balance between man-made structures and the natural world. Henry Taunt's masterful composition invites us to pause, breathe, and appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring charm of Arlington Row but also a reminder of the importance of preserving our historic buildings for future generations to enjoy.
