EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the charming village of Tregony in Cornwall, capturing a perfect front view of the historic Alms Houses. Built by Hugh Boscawen in 1696, these houses have stood as a testament to the generosity and compassion of their benefactor for centuries. The image showcases the architectural beauty of the Alms Houses, with their traditional Cornish design and intricate details that have been lovingly preserved over time. The restoration work carried out in 1895 by Silvanus Trevail is evident, as every element seems meticulously crafted. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time from 1967, we can almost imagine life within those walls - perhaps elderly residents enjoying each other's company or tending to vibrant gardens filled with colorful blooms. It serves as a reminder of how communities come together to support one another. Photographer Charles Woolf has skillfully captured not only the physical structure but also its essence - an embodiment of history and tradition nestled amidst picturesque surroundings. This photograph transports us to a simpler era when life moved at a slower pace. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this precious piece offers glimpses into our rich heritage while honoring those who contributed towards creating such remarkable landmarks like Tregony Hill's Alms Houses. Let it serve as an inspiration for future generations to appreciate and cherish our cultural treasures that define us as a community.
