EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Holmbury St Mary, nestled in the serene countryside of Surrey. The image captures a mesmerizing view looking south across the village green, where life seems to unfold at its own unhurried pace. In the foreground, we see the lush village green, meticulously maintained and dotted with charming houses that exude an old-world charm. Standing proudly amidst this idyllic setting is St Mary's Church, its spire reaching towards the heavens as if seeking divine blessings for this quaint community. To add to the allure of this scene, The Royal Oak pub stands as a welcoming haven for locals and visitors alike. Its traditional architecture and inviting atmosphere make it a hub of social activity within this close-knit community. As our gaze extends beyond these focal points, we are met with a breathtaking sight - a forested hillside that stretches into infinity. This natural backdrop serves as a reminder of Holmbury St Mary's privileged location within the enchanting Surrey Hills. Transporting us back to the 1910s era, this historic photograph allows us to appreciate how little has changed over time in terms of preserving Holmbury St Mary's timeless beauty. It invites us to imagine what life was like during simpler times when nature played an integral role in shaping daily existence. Katherine MacFee's masterful composition beautifully encapsulates not just one moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia and appreciation for
