EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming village of Burford, Oxfordshire, and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this stunning photograph from the 1920s. Taken by Katherine MacFee for Historic England, this print captures the west side of the medieval bridge over the River Windrush, as seen from the north bank. The gentle curves of two willow trees frame the scene, their branches stretching out towards each other like nature's own embracing arms.
In the background, a rustic ford crossing on the opposite bank adds a touch of rustic charm to this idyllic waterscape. The bridge itself is steeped in history, its medieval architecture bearing witness to centuries past. As you gaze upon this serene scene, imagine life unfolding along these riverbanks - fishermen casting lines into its crystal-clear waters, children playing among its lush greenery, and villagers going about their daily routines under its ancient stones.
This image not only showcases Katherine MacFee's exceptional photography skills but also provides a glimpse into a bygone era when life was simpler and more peaceful. It's a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, we can still find moments of serenity and beauty in our surroundings.
