EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the interior of St Mary's Church in Stone, a historic village located near Dartford in Kent, England. Dating back to the 13th century, this magnificent edifice is a fine example of Early English Gothic architecture and is affectionately known as the 'Lantern of Kent.' The church's intricate stonework, with its arched columns and pillars, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the medieval artisans who built it during the Middle Ages. The date of this photograph is circa 1845, a time when the Industrial Revolution was transforming the British landscape. Yet, St Mary's Church remains a beacon of the past, its stained glass windows casting a warm, ethereal glow over the stone floors and pews. The arches and columns, adorned with intricate carvings, reach towards the heavens, creating a sense of awe and reverence. The Lantern of Kent has survived the test of time, standing proudly amidst the rolling hills of Kent. Its enduring beauty continues to draw visitors from near and far, who come to marvel at its architectural splendor and to experience a connection with the rich history of this remarkable region. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
