EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the charming village of Trevalga in Cornwall, circa 1966. The image showcases a picturesque scene featuring three Grade II listed cottages that have remained unaltered throughout the years. On the left stands Rose Cottage, exuding an air of rustic elegance with its slate roof and traditional Cornish architecture. In the center, we find a cottage nestled between its companions, forming a harmonious trio that epitomizes the essence of this idyllic village. To the right is Much in Little, another enchanting dwelling that adds to the allure of this quaint corner of Cornwall. It is evident from this photograph that every detail has been carefully preserved to maintain Trevalga's unique character for future generations to appreciate. Interestingly, we learn that Trevalga was entrusted to Marlborough College by Gerald Curgenven, the last Lord of the Manor. This act ensured that this gem would remain unspoiled and untouched by commercialization or modern development. Captured by photographer Charles Woolf, this evocative image allows us to glimpse into a time when simplicity and natural beauty reigned supreme. As we admire these historic cottages against their backdrop of rolling hills and verdant landscapes, it becomes clear why Trevalga holds such timeless appeal for both locals and visitors alike.
