EDITORS COMMENTS
Defying the elements, a brave soul embarks on a treacherous ascent up the wind-swept ladder towards the golden ball atop St Lawrence Church tower in West Wycombe, Bucks. This print captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time - January 1935. Legend has it that within this very ball, which accommodates only twelve individuals, the enigmatic Madmepham Club once convened their clandestine meetings. Later known as the notorious Hell Fire Club, these gatherings were said to take place during wild and stormy nights. Lensman Humphrey Spender's lens skillfully captures both the danger and allure of this daring climb into history. The silhouette against the night sky evokes a sense of mystery and adventure that transcends time itself. This image not only showcases architectural beauty but also serves as a reminder of humanity's unwavering quest for knowledge and enlightenment through religion. It symbolizes our innate desire to explore uncharted territories, even if they are hidden within church towers. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where courage mingled with curiosity amidst towering structures like St Lawrence Church. Let us cherish such moments that remind us of our shared past and inspire us to embrace new heights.
