EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to the charming village of Ashurst on a serene May day in 1893. Standing proudly against the backdrop of clear blue skies, we are presented with the magnificent St James Church in all its glory. The side view reveals intricate architectural details and showcases the church's timeless beauty. A pathway gracefully leads us towards this sacred place, inviting us to explore its hallowed grounds. As we venture closer, our eyes are drawn to a quaint wheelbarrow resting next to the fence that encloses the churchyard. Perhaps it was used by diligent caretakers tending to the peaceful final resting place surrounding this holy sanctuary. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia as we imagine generations past seeking solace within these walls and finding comfort amidst life's trials and tribulations. It serves as a poignant reminder of how time has shaped our communities and preserved their rich history. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this photograph is an invaluable treasure from another era. It allows us to glimpse into a simpler time when faith played an integral role in daily life and architecture stood as a testament to human craftsmanship. As we admire this remarkable piece of West Sussex heritage, let it transport us back through time, reminding us of our roots and inspiring gratitude for those who came before us.
