EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the 1980s, an old gentleman, dressed in a trilby hat and holding a walking stick, pauses in his exploration of Castle Acre's historic grounds to read an inscription on a gravestone in the churchyard of St. James Church. The scene unfolds in the picturesque village of Castle Acre, located in Norfolk, England, along the route of the ancient Peddars Way. The Peddars Way is an ancient trackway that dates back to the Roman era, making it an intriguing destination for history enthusiasts and hikers alike. The old man's introspective moment amidst the centuries-old gravestones and headstones in the churchyard adds a sense of connection to the rich history of the area. The epitaphs etched into the gravestones offer a glimpse into the lives of those who came before us, inviting us to reflect on the passage of time and the enduring nature of human existence. The senior gentleman's age and thoughtful demeanor serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating our historical and cultural heritage. The image, first published in The Sunday Times in 1987, captures the essence of a quiet, contemplative moment in the heart of Norfolk's past. The scene is one of tranquility and introspection, inviting us to reflect on the beauty and significance of the past as we continue to move forward in time.
