EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Tregarden House in St Mabyn, Cornwall, stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear, blue sky. The image, captured by renowned local photographer Charles Woolf in 1959, showcases the timeless beauty of this Jacobean manor and its historic gateway. Tregarden House, a Grade I listed building, is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Cornwall. The manor, which dates back to the 16th century, is believed to have been the home of the Barrett family for over 400 years. The Jacobean style, named after King James I, is evident in the ornate detailing of the house, with its intricate stonework, tall chimneys, and elegant windows. At the heart of the photograph, the 1631 gateway takes center stage. This ancient structure, which predates the house itself, is a reminder of the long and storied history of Tregarden and its surroundings. The gateway, adorned with intricate carvings and the initials of the Barrett family, is a symbol of the family's connection to the land and their legacy. The photograph also captures the tranquility and serenity of rural Cornwall in the late 1950s. The lush greenery, the open fields, and the clear, unspoiled sky all contribute to a sense of peace and timelessness. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, a moment in time that has been preserved for future generations to appreciate. Joyce Greenham, a local historian and author, has written extensively about the history of Tregarden and its connection to the Barrett family. Her research and insights provide a deeper understanding of the significance of this historic manor and its surroundings, making this photograph not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable historical document.
