EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic St. George the Martyr Church in Southwark, London, also famously known as Little Dorrit's Church due to its connection with Charles Dickens' novel, "Little Dorrit." Built in 1734, this beautiful and intricately designed church has stood the test of time, serving as a place of worship for generations. In this early 1930s image, the church is adorned with scaffolding, a common sight during restoration projects. The Victorian architecture, with its ornate details and intricate stonework, is on full display, despite the temporary structure. The church's bell tower, a distinctive feature, reaches towards the sky, while the surrounding trees and foliage add a sense of tranquility and peace. Little Dorrit's Church holds significant historical importance, as it is where the Dickens character, Amy Dorrit, was both christened and married. The novel, published in 1857, brought even more attention to the church and solidified its place in literary history. Despite the passage of time and the occasional need for restoration, the church remains a beloved and cherished landmark in Southwark, attracting visitors from near and far. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and history of this remarkable place of worship.
