EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to March 1944, where the Petworth Ladies Choir stands united on the steps of Petworth Church. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a line of choristers dressed in their elegant surplices and cassocks. With pride emanating from their faces, they exude an air of anticipation for the upcoming performance. The stone archway frames the group perfectly, adding a touch of grandeur to the scene. Through the arched windows behind them, sunlight streams into the church, casting gentle shadows on their robes. The architectural beauty serves as a testament to both human craftsmanship and divine inspiration. Atop these steps stands the Vicar himself, bringing up the rear with dignity and reverence. His presence symbolizes guidance and support for his choir members as they prepare to sing praises within those hallowed walls. This remarkable photograph is part of George Garland's collection housed at West Sussex Record Office. It offers us a glimpse into an era when music played an integral role in community life during challenging times like World War II. As we admire this historical snapshot captured by Garland's lens, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize how it encapsulates resilience and unity through song within our local communities throughout history - reminding us that even amidst turmoil, harmony can be found within our hearts.
