EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the charming village of Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire, with this photograph from Historic England's archives. This stunning print captures a picturesque scene of an unidentified thatched timber-framed cottage and weatherboarded barn, showcasing the region's rich vernacular architecture.
The intricately woven thatch on both structures adds a touch of whimsy and charm, while the herringbone brick infill provides a pop of color against the rustic backdrop. The 1920s-era image is a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional building methods and materials.
Despite being taken nearly a century ago, this photograph still transports us to a bygone era, evoking feelings of nostalgia and tranquility. The exact location of this idyllic scene remains unknown, but its allure lies in its ability to evoke memories of simpler times.
This vintage print is not only a beautiful piece for any home or office but also serves as an important historical record for those interested in architectural heritage. Katherine MacFee's photography skills have captured the essence of rural life in Wootton Rivers during the early 20th century.
