England - 1960 Tractor

Sometimes cards just make me go: "huh?"  Sort of like this one.  It's wonderful but why? Why a picture of a tractor being driven through the door of St Etheldreda's Church in this photograph from 1960.  In spite of, or more likely because of the "huh?" factor I LOVE it!  Thank you Karen!
