EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant beauty of Holy Trinity Church, Mardale, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a serene English countryside. Taken just before its unfortunate demise and subsequent submergence beneath the waters of Haweswater Reservoir, this image serves as a bittersweet reminder of a bygone era. Charles E Brown's expert composition allows us to appreciate the architectural grandeur and intricate details that adorned this historic place of worship. The church's sturdy stone walls exude an air of tranquility, while its elegant spire reaches towards the heavens with unwavering grace. It is impossible not to feel a sense of reverence for this sacred space that once echoed with prayers and hymns. The knowledge that this cherished landmark was eventually lost forever adds an extra layer of poignancy to the photograph. On 18 August 1935, Holy Trinity Church held its final service before being swallowed by progress in the form of Haweswater Reservoir. This visual testament serves as a silent tribute to all those who worshipped within these hallowed walls throughout generations past. As we gaze upon Charles E Brown's remarkable work, we are transported back in time to interwar England - an era characterized by both hope and uncertainty. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only a physical structure but also an intangible essence: the spirit and resilience embodied by communities facing change. In preserving this image at RAF Museum, we ensure that future generations can bear witness to our history's triumphs
