EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Kingsley's Staircase, an extraordinary wooden staircase located in the attic of the rectory where renowned English author and clergyman, Charles Kingsley, once served as rector. Dating back to the late 1800s, between 1819 and 1875, the staircase leads to quaint and cozy attic rooms, each filled with history and charm. What makes this staircase most unusual is the rope that hangs from a beam above, acting as a safety hold for those ascending. The addition of this rope suggests that the stairs may have been considered dangerous, perhaps due to their age or narrow construction. Despite the potential risks, the rope provides a sense of security and adds to the intrigue of this unique architectural feature. Charles Kingsley, a man of many talents, was not only a prolific writer but also a dedicated clergyman. He served as rector of Easingwold in Yorkshire and later at Holy Trinity, Bournemouth. During his time at the rectory, he penned several well-known works, including "The Water-Babies," "The Heroes," and "The Three Musketeers of the New Forest." This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the 19th century and the quirks and charms of a bygone era. The presence of the rope-held staircase in the rectory where Charles Kingsley once resided adds an element of intrigue and mystery, making it a fascinating place in the annals of literary and historical history.
