EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history, showcasing the Cherhill Tithe Barn in all its medieval glory. Taken from a south-western perspective, this image allows us to appreciate the grandeur of this magnificent structure that once stood proudly in Wiltshire's countryside. The Cherhill Tithe Barn holds a fascinating tale within its walls. During renovations in 1868, an astonishing discovery was made - a beam dating back to 1425. This remarkable find not only attested to the barn's age but also provided a tangible link to centuries past. It is truly awe-inspiring to imagine the countless lives and stories that have unfolded within these ancient walls. Sadly, as time marched on, progress dictated that this architectural gem would meet its demise. In 1956, after centuries of standing tall against the elements and witnessing generations come and go, the Cherhill Tithe Barn was reluctantly demolished. Its loss is deeply felt by those who cherish our heritage. Marjory L Wight skillfully captured this poignant moment in her photograph from the 1930s. Through her lens, we are transported back in time and reminded of both our shared history and fleeting nature of human creations. Let us remember this stunning testament to medieval craftsmanship - not just as a relic lost but as an enduring symbol of our collective past that continues to inspire admiration today.
