EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cradley Village Hall, formerly known as the Old Boys School, in all its historic glory. Nestled in Rectory Lane, Herefordshire, this timber-framed house-turned-village hall stands as a testament to the rich medieval heritage of the region. The image showcases the west end of this remarkable building from a unique perspective – taken from the tranquil graveyard of St James's Church to its north-west. The juxtaposition between the ancient resting place and the vibrant village hall creates an intriguing contrast that speaks volumes about Cradley's past and present. As we gaze upon this photograph by Marjory L Wight, we are transported back in time to when knowledge was imparted within these very walls. Once a school for young boys, it has now been repurposed into a cherished community space where residents gather for various events and celebrations. The intricate details of its timber frame evoke feelings of nostalgia and admiration for craftsmanship long gone but not forgotten. This visual masterpiece reminds us that history is alive within our surroundings if only we take a moment to appreciate it. Let us reflect on how places like Cradley Village Hall connect generations through their enduring presence. They serve as reminders that progress should never erase our roots but rather build upon them with reverence and respect for those who came before us.
