Capturing the Essence of Time - A Glimpse into Cornwall's Agricultural Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken on the 8th of April in 1918, transports us back to a bygone era at Tregothnan House in St Michael Penkivel, Cornwall. The image showcases the age-old practice of disc harrowing with a tractor, symbolizing the evolution of farming techniques during that period. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness two men diligently tending to their tasks. One man skillfully maneuvers the tractor while another sits atop the harrow, ensuring its smooth operation. Against this rustic backdrop stands Tregothnan House itself - an architectural gem steeped in history and belonging to the esteemed Boscawen family since 1334. Originally rebuilt by Edward Boscawen (1787-1841), fourth Viscount and First Earl of Falmouth, near its predecessor's location, Tregothnan House exudes timeless grandeur. However, it is not just its magnificent structure that sets it apart; nestled within its grounds lies Cornwall's largest historic garden. While typically open to visitors for only one weekend each year, this photograph allows us an exclusive glimpse into both Tregothnan House and Cornwall's rich agricultural heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder of how our ancestors tirelessly worked these lands with dedication and ingenuity. Preserved through Arthur William Jordan's lens, this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum encapsulates more than just
