Ewelme, Oxfordshire
St Mary the Virgin church, Ewelme, Oxfordshire
A few weeks ago I had the most enjoyable day with a photographer friend from Alabama, touring around the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire photographing small village churches. We were fortunate with the weather; the day after torrential rain turned out to be mostly sunny with the occasional passing cloud that helped soften the lighting.
The church at Ewelme hosts the tomb of the son of the English poet Geoffrey Chaucer and has the most wonderfully varied interior mostly from the mid 1400's. The sun came through the stained glass window casting a reflective glow across the worn stone slabs and hand carved wood. We were the only people there and the peace was extraordinary. This church is a living museum with so much of interest.
Leica M6, 35mm lens, Delta 100 ASA film, hand developed to retain detail in shadow and highlights. Printed by hand on Ilford IV and then the image was scanned for reproduction here.
