EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1958, where a timeless tradition is being upheld with great enthusiasm. Continuing a legacy that began in 1786, the Earl of Aylesford assumes his role as Lord Warden, leading over 50 Woodmen of Arden onto the field at Meriden for their annual four-day Wardmoat. The image captures a moment filled with anticipation and skill as the Earl takes aim with his longbow. With its elegant curvature and sturdy frame, the bow requires an impressive pull of 50lb-60lb to release its arrow into flight. The Earl's focused expression reveals both determination and reverence for this ancient sport. Surrounded by lush greenery and embraced by history, this snapshot encapsulates more than just a sporting event; it symbolizes the preservation of cherished traditions in our ever-changing world. The setting itself speaks volumes about Meriden's significance as a place where customs are honored and celebrated. As we delve deeper into this photograph captured by Staff from Memory Lane Prints, we catch glimpses of West Midlands' rich heritage intertwined with moments frozen in time. It reminds us that even amidst modernity's rapid pace, there is value in preserving age-old customs that connect us to our roots.
