EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic town of Stratton in Cornwall, England. The focal point is none other than "The Tree Inn" a charming public house that has witnessed centuries of stories unfold within its walls. However, it's not just the inn itself that catches our attention; it's the notice embedded in its ancient facade. The notice proudly proclaims a significant event from the English Civil War: the Battle of Stratton. It reminds passersby that on Tuesday, May 16th, 1643, an army led by Bevill Granville and his courageous Cornish soldiers valiantly defeated the rebellious forces under the command of Earl of Stamford right here at this very spot. This historical tidbit offers a glimpse into a tumultuous time when loyalty and bravery clashed amidst political turmoil. Photographer Charles Woolf expertly captures this moment frozen in time during his visit to Stratton in 1962. His lens immortalizes both the architectural beauty of Fore Street and the intriguing narrative etched onto The Tree Inn's wall. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to an era where battles were fought on home soil and legends were born. It serves as a reminder of how history can be found even in seemingly ordinary places like small towns and local pubs – each with their own unique tales waiting to be discovered by those who take notice.
