EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Tregarden, St Mabyn, Cornwall in the year 1959. The lens of renowned photographer Charles Woolf captures a stunning view of Tregarden House, an architectural gem that stands proudly amidst its idyllic surroundings. However, what makes this particular shot unique is that it does not showcase the magnificent 1631 gateway which usually steals all attention. The image transports us to an era where simplicity and elegance were seamlessly intertwined. The Jacobean style of Tregarden House exudes a timeless charm, with its sturdy stone walls and intricately designed windows. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage that Cornwall holds dear. Intriguingly enough, this photograph also hints at the presence of the Barrett family within these walls. Their legacy can be felt through every brick and beam of this grand structure. As we delve deeper into their story, we uncover tales of prosperity and resilience that have shaped generations. Moreover, it is impossible not to mention Joyce Greenham when discussing this remarkable piece captured by Charles Woolf's lens. Her passion for preserving Cornish history has undoubtedly played a significant role in ensuring such treasures are immortalized for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing snapshot from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, let us take a moment to reflect on how architecture can serve as both a window into our past and an inspiration for our future endeavors – reminding us never to forget
