EDITORS COMMENTS
St Mary's Church, Felpham: A Glimpse into the Past (circa 1910) This evocative photograph captures the tranquil beauty of St Mary's Church in Felpham, near Bognor Regis, West Sussex. The image, taken in the early 1910s, showcases the church's distinctive tower and the surrounding grassy area dotted with headstones. Among them, two particular tombstones stand out, belonging to William Stone, a local blacksmith, and his wife Mary. William Stone, a skilled craftsman, and his wife Mary are remembered in this hallowed ground, their final resting place a testament to their lives lived in Felpham. The inscriptions on their headstones provide a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the enduring bond between husband and wife. The church, with its ancient history and rich heritage, has been a focal point of the Felpham community for centuries. Its towering structure, adorned with intricate carvings and gothic architecture, has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the lives of generations. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining the daily life of Felpham's residents during the 1910s. The serene atmosphere of the churchyard, the gentle sway of the grass, and the quiet whispers of the wind, all contribute to a sense of peace and reflection. St Mary's Church, with its timeless beauty and the stories it holds, continues to be an essential part of Felpham's identity, a living testament to the history and traditions of this charming West Sussex village.
