Trelissick, Feock Cornwall.

Sited on its own peninsular, Trellisick has had five previous owners. It has been revised, experienced prosperity,
collapse and change. Donated to the National Trust by Ida Copeland in 1955 after the death of her son Geoffrey.
A house has been here since 1750, when a two- storey villa was built by John Lawrence. In 1805, the estate was
purchased by Ralph Allen Daniell, who enlarged the park and added a new pleasure grounds and kitchen garden.
In 1825, Ralph’s son remodelled the house in a Grecian style. Due to the building costs and the prevalent slump in
mining of 1832 he was bankrupted and sold the Trelissick estate to Lord Falmouth. The Gilberts were next to own
Trelissick when in 1844 John Davies Gilbert purchased the estate. Trelissick’s House and garden became the
property of Leonard Cunliffe (a banker), in 1928 when he bought the freehold and the estate had been divided in
1913. In 1937, Cunliffe’s step daughter Ida Copeland inherited Trelissick, Ida and her husband Ronald transformed
the garden and continued to evolve the planting throughout their time at Trelissick.

Falmouth. The composition takes in the solidity of land and the changing sky and sea.
