EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the historic town of Stratton in Cornwall, England, in the year 1962. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly The Tree Inn, a charming public house that stands proudly on Fore Street. However, it is not just the inn itself that catches our attention; it is also the intriguing notice adorning its wall. The notice serves as a poignant reminder of the Battle of Stratton during the English Civil War. It informs us that on Tuesday, May 16th, 1643, an army led by the Earl of Stamford was met with a resounding defeat at this very location by Bevill Granville and his courageous Cornish Army. This commemorative plaque immortalizes their valorous triumph over rebellion. Photographer C. Woolf skillfully captures both the architectural beauty of The Tree Inn and its historical significance through this photograph. We can almost feel ourselves stepping into another era as we gaze upon this scene frozen in time. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded once again of how history intertwines with everyday life. The juxtaposition between a bustling town street and an ancient battle site encapsulates Cornwall's rich heritage. This photograph serves as a testament to both local pride and national history—a snapshot capturing not only physical structures but also stories etched within them for generations to come.
