EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Reverend Hawkers Hut, perched on the rugged cliffs of Morwenstow, Cornwall. The year is 1913, and inside this humble abode stands a man, perhaps contemplating the vastness of the surrounding coastline. Built by the eccentric clergyman Robert Stephen Hawker nearly four decades earlier, this hut holds a rich history within its weathered walls. Known for his poetic talents and deep connection to his Cornish roots, Hawker was not only a man of faith but also an avid rescuer of shipwrecked sailors. He would tirelessly search for bodies washed ashore, ensuring they received proper Christian burials. The photograph captures both the solitude and resilience that characterizes life along this treacherous coast. With Sharpnose Point visible in the distance, it serves as a reminder of nature's power and mankind's unwavering spirit. In addition to his heroic deeds at sea, Hawker composed one of Cornwall's most beloved anthems: "The Song of the Western Men" also known as "Trelawney". This hymn became synonymous with Cornish pride and resistance against oppression. Preserved through time by photographer Herbert Hughes' lens, this image offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in Cornwall's history—a testament to courage amidst adversity and reverence for both land and sea.
