EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the enchanting world of Tehidy South Lodge in Illogan, Cornwall. Nestled amidst lush greenery and picturesque countryside, this thatched house stands as a testament to the grandeur of country estates during a bygone era. The view from the road reveals an idyllic scene, showcasing the architectural beauty and charm of Tehidy South Lodge. The thatched roof exudes warmth and character while blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings. It is easy to imagine how this dwelling would have been a haven for its inhabitants, providing respite from their bustling lives. Tehidy Manor itself was once owned by the esteemed Basset family, who amassed great wealth through mining ventures and presided over an extensive estate. However, in 1916, after seven centuries of Basset rule, the manor was sold - marking the end of an illustrious chapter in Cornish history. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan with meticulous attention to detail, this image captures not only physical structures but also whispers stories of past generations who called these walls home. It invites us to reflect on our connection with heritage and reminds us that even though times may change, remnants of our shared history continue to shape our present. As we admire this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum today, it serves as both a window into another time and a reminder of how precious our cultural heritage truly is.
