EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Lambessow, St Clement, Cornwall in the year 1923. The image showcases a rustic cowshed that holds more than meets the eye. Historians believe that this very building might have once been the site of the Duchy prison during the 11th century, adding an intriguing layer of history to its humble appearance. The photograph was captured by Arthur William Jordan during a pilgrimage undertaken by members of Truro Old Cornwall Society. Their journey aimed to explore and document significant historical sites across Cornwall. This particular snapshot was later published in the esteemed Western Morning News on September 11th, 1923. As we delve into this image, we are transported to an era where farming and agriculture played vital roles in Cornish society. The cowshed stands as a testament to the region's rich agricultural heritage and serves as a reminder of simpler times when manor houses dotted the landscape. With its weathered walls and timeless charm, this print offers historians and architecture enthusiasts alike a glimpse into Cornish rural life nearly a century ago. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also sparks our curiosity about how it has evolved over time
