A new exhibition produced by members of Cornwall Crafts Association has opened at Trelissick and can be seen until June 25.

It tells the story of the estate on the Fal estuary through 16 original craft objects, each inscribed with a piece of history and made out of natural materials to celebrate a love of the surrounding countryside.

The exhibition, entitled Find the Time, is a journey from the 1750s, when wealthy landowner John Lawrence converted the original farmhouse into a villa, to 1955 when former MP Ida Copeland gifted the estate to the National Trust.

Over the intervening 300 years, Trelissick families have made and lost fortunes, managed the land, sailed the sea, fought fascism and always championed this beautiful part of Cornwall.

Creative programme manager, Jane Pugh said: "Trelissick history is fascinating to piece together because it’s so varied and dispersed. Our researchers looked high and low and made all kinds of discoveries. The Find the Time exhibition is only the start of our journey into time and there are lots more stories we want to share. Keep an eye on our website for future exhibitions."

Visitors can look at, read, handle, try on and play with the objects and there is a children’s Find the Time trail too. For more information go to nationaltrust.org.uk/trelissick.
