EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Clerk of Works cottage, nestled within the picturesque Tregothnan estate in St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. While the exact date remains unknown, it is believed to have been taken during the early 1900s, capturing a glimpse into a bygone era. Tregothnan has served as the cherished residence of the esteemed Boscawen family since an impressive lineage dating back to 1334. The house itself was reconstructed by Edward Boscawen (1787-1841), who held titles such as fourth Viscount and First Earl of Falmouth. Erected near its predecessor's location, this grand mansion stands as a testament to timeless elegance. What truly sets Tregothnan apart is its expansive historic garden, which proudly claims the title of Cornwall's largest. Bursting with vibrant flora and meticulously manicured landscapes, this horticultural haven offers visitors an unforgettable experience.
