About this item

Photograph, 23 April 1975. Photographic print from the Bexhill Observer's coverage of the ceremony reported on 26 April 1975. Alex Sanders, kneeling in a striped robe, raises a goblet while Betty Britton, standing in a shimmering robe, lowers a dagger into it. Behind them is the altar with candles, an open book and a draped mannequin head, and on the wall a painting of birds. The museum lists the print as 'Alex Sanders and Betty Britton'. It corresponds to the second picture in the paper's printed sequence, 'the high priestess dips the dagger into the goblet of wine'. The altar had moved since the 1974 photographs and no longer stood in front of the fireplace. Byline: Jimmy Burke. Bexhill Museum item 097. Print from the Bexhill Observer photographic archive at Bexhill Museum. Shown in UNSEEN: The Alex Sanders Archive at Bexhill Museum, Part Two, What the Town Did With It (26 August 2026), presented by Julian Porter of Bexhill Museum and hosted by Sharon Day for Alexandrian Witchcraft.
