EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Racton Monument, a true gem nestled in the serene countryside of West Sussex. Built in 1903 by Admiral FitzHornly, this architectural marvel served as both a summer house and an observatory, offering its occupants breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The monument stands proudly on the Downs, exuding an air of grandeur and heritage that is truly awe-inspiring. The Edwardian era was known for its love affair with intricate follies and unique structures, and Racton Monument perfectly embodies this trend. Its elegant design seamlessly blends into the rural backdrop, creating a harmonious fusion between man-made beauty and nature's splendor. Preserved within the John Fletcher Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this print captures not only the physical structure but also echoes whispers from a bygone era. It invites us to step back in time and imagine ourselves strolling through these idyllic surroundings while admiring Admiral FitzHornly's vision come to life. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of West Sussex's rich architectural heritage and how it continues to inspire generations today. This photograph serves as a testament to our deep connection with history and our commitment to preserving these remarkable landmarks for future generations to cherish
