EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the enchanting Mellingey Lodge, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Perranwell and Perranarworthal, Cornwall. The photographer behind this remarkable image is none other than Arthur Philp, whose keen eye for detail beautifully captures the essence of this historic residence. Mellingey Lodge exudes an air of elegance and grandeur, with its imposing structure standing proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery. Its charming architecture reflects a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace. Sadly, tragedy struck Mellingey Lodge around 1939-1940 when it fell victim to a devastating fire that reduced this magnificent house to ashes. However, through this poignant photograph, we are reminded of its former glory and significance within the local community. The Royal Cornwall Museum has preserved this precious piece of history as part of their collection. It serves as a testament to both Arthur Philp's skillful craftsmanship behind the lens and Mellingey Lodge's enduring legacy in Cornish heritage. As we gaze upon this evocative image today, let us reflect on the stories hidden within these walls and pay homage to those who once called Mellingey Lodge home. May it serve as a reminder that even though physical structures may fade away over time, their memories continue to live on in our hearts and minds.
