EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee showcases the picturesque Rye Windmill in East Sussex. The image captures a serene scene, with a magnificent Willow tree gracefully adorning the bank of the River Tillingham. Beyond this natural beauty stands the majestic Rye Windmill, its towering presence adding charm to the landscape. The smock mill depicted in this photograph is steeped in history. Sadly, it met a tragic fate when it succumbed to fire in 1930. However, determined to preserve their heritage, locals rebuilt another windmill on the same site. This post-medieval structure serves as a reminder of both resilience and progress. Its traditional design and functionality make it an iconic landmark within Rother's landscape. Katherine MacFee's composition beautifully captures not only these architectural wonders but also highlights the harmonious relationship between man-made structures and nature's splendor. The tranquil waterscape surrounding the windmill adds depth and tranquility to this timeless image. As we admire this stunning print from Historic England, let us appreciate how our ancestors harnessed nature's power through windmills while simultaneously cherishing their surroundings. This photograph invites us to reflect upon our own connection with history and encourages us to find inspiration amidst change and adversity
