EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Churchtown, Trevalga, Cornwall in 1973. The view from the coast path near Ladies Window offers a breathtaking perspective of this picturesque Cornish village. In the distance, the Church of St Petroc stands proudly towards the centre right, its ancient walls steeped in history and tradition. Trevalga holds a special place in preserving its character and remaining unspoiled for generations to come. It was entrusted to Marlborough College, a renowned public school in Wiltshire, by Gerald Curgenven, the last Lord of the Manor. His noble act ensures that this charming coastal village retains its authentic charm and tranquility. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Charles Woolf, who skillfully captured not only the stunning coastline but also conveyed a sense of serenity and harmony within this idyllic setting. The vibrant colors and natural light evoke feelings of joy and peacefulness as one gazes upon this scene. Cornwall's rugged coastline has long been an inspiration for artists and writers alike. This photograph by Charles Woolf perfectly encapsulates that essence – showcasing both nature's grandeur and human heritage harmoniously coexisting. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are reminded of our responsibility to preserve such treasures for future generations to cherish. Let us be grateful for those like Gerald Curgenven who understood their value and took action to protect them from commercial exploitation or modernization that could compromise their unique allure.
