EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back in time to the enchanting village of Priddy, nestled amidst the picturesque Mendip Hills in Somerset. The focal point of this mesmerizing image is none other than the magnificent Church of St Lawrence, a Grade I listed gem that has stood proudly since the 13th century. Transporting us to the 1920s, when this photograph was taken as part of a Great Western Railway (GWR) publicity campaign, we are given a glimpse into an era where simplicity and tranquility reigned supreme. The church's timeless beauty is accentuated by its medieval altar frontal adorned with delicate irises, adding an ethereal touch to its already awe-inspiring presence. Priddy Church stands as a testament to centuries gone by and serves as a beacon of faith for generations past and present. Its sturdy stone walls have witnessed countless weddings, baptisms, and funerals over hundreds of years. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene captured on film decades ago, we can't help but feel humbled by the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us. Let this evocative print transport you to an idyllic countryside village where history whispers through every cobblestone street and nature's beauty intertwines seamlessly with architectural marvels. Immerse yourself in Priddy's charm; let your imagination wander among these ancient walls that hold tales untold.
