EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the beauty of Tregothnan House, a true gem nestled in the heart of Cornwall. This print captures the essence of a sunny summer day in 1976, as visitors explore the enchanting gardens during an open day event. The focal point of this picturesque scene is undoubtedly the Summer House, standing proudly amidst lush greenery. Its elegant architecture and serene surroundings make it a perfect spot for relaxation and contemplation. Two visitors can be seen enjoying its tranquility from a bench outside, perhaps engaging in conversation or simply taking in the breathtaking views. Tregothnan House holds centuries worth of history within its walls; home to the esteemed Boscawen family since 1334. Rebuilt by Edward Boscawen, Fourth Viscount and First Earl of Falmouth, this grand estate stands near the site where an older mansion once stood. The house itself is steeped in elegance and charm that echoes through every corner. However, it is not just the house that captivates visitors but also its expansive historic garden – Cornwall's largest. A haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking solace amidst natural beauty, Tregothnan's garden offers a glimpse into centuries-old horticultural practices. This remarkable photograph was skillfully captured by Charles Woolf who expertly portrays both the timeless allure of Tregothnan House and its magnificent surroundings.
