EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by the renowned local photographer Charles Woolf in 1959, captures the timeless beauty of Tregarden House in St Mabyn, Cornwall. The image showcases the grand Jacobean mansion, framed by the ancient 1631 gateway that once marked the entrance to the estate. The Barrett family, who have resided in Tregarden since the 16th century, are deeply connected to the history and heritage of this magnificent property. The intricately carved gateway, adorned with the Barrett coat of arms, stands proudly as a testament to the family's rich past. The mansion itself, with its distinctive gabled roof and tall chimneys, exudes an air of elegance and grandeur. The surrounding landscape, dotted with trees and lush greenery, adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. Joyce Greenham, a local historian and author, has documented the history of Tregarden House and the Barrett family in her book "The Barretts of Tregarden." She writes that the house was originally built in the late 16th century and has undergone various renovations and extensions over the centuries. The current structure is a result of the additions made in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of Tregarden House and its storied past but also highlights the unique architectural heritage of Cornwall. The Jacobean style, with its heavy use of ornate carvings and grandiose design, is a testament to the region's rich history and cultural significance. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in Cornish architecture, history, or simply appreciating the beauty of a bygone era.
