Church of St Mary

church building United Kingdom
1920s to 1930s postcard of the Church of St Mary, Hullavington, Wiltshire, England. A history of the church is here. The photographer was Fred C. Palmer of Tower Studio, Herne Bay, Kent ca.1905-1916, and of 6 Cromwell Street, Swindon ca.1920-1936. He is believed to have died 1936-1939. The postcard is postmarked 1930. Points of interest The graveyard appears neglected, and there is a plant growing on the roof and protruding behind the right-hand gable. Therefore this photograph could have been taken just after the end of the First World War. Editing This is an unedited scan of an historical print that has darkened with age, but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness because detail would be lost in lighter or darker areas. It is suggested that edits of this image be uploaded as separate files. Border The remaining border of this image is important for researchers of this photographer. Some photographers trimmed their images more than others, and Palmer has a reputation for producing smaller postcards than other early 20th century UK photographers. He took his own photos, developed them in-house onto postcard-backed photographic paper and trimmed them himself. It is worth adding that during hand-developing the border is actively masked with equipment which both crops the picture and causes the white frame or border to appear on the paper. This frame is part of the design and is one of the reasons why the quality of Palmer's work is so interesting, and why there is an article and category for him on English Wiki. Researchers need to see exactly where the edge of the postcard is. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
