EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the religious procession leading to the grand opening of the church hall in Barnehurst, Kent. Taken in March 1936, this image showcases a vibrant scene filled with devout clergy members, an enchanting choir, and eager parishioners. The procession is led by none other than the esteemed Bishop of Rochester himself. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from between the wars. It transports us back to an era where faith played a central role in communities across Europe. The solemn expressions on the faces of clergymen and choir boys reflect their dedication to their beliefs as they march towards their place of worship. Intriguingly, amidst this spiritual spectacle, we catch glimpses of quaint houses lining the street. These humble dwellings serve as a reminder that religion was deeply intertwined with everyday life during this period. The photographer's skillful composition allows us to witness not only the physical journey but also hear echoes of melodious hymns sung by the choir. We can almost feel ourselves being swept up in their harmonies as they fill the air with sacred music. This remarkable photograph offers us a window into both religious devotion and social history between two world-altering conflicts. It encapsulates an important moment for Barnehurst's community while showcasing Between The Wars' exceptional talent for capturing poignant moments through photography.
