Heligan: the Complete Works

Until World War I the estate gardens at Heligan were one of the glories of Cornwall, but they were then neglected for many years before being rediscovered and restored. Linked to a Channel 4 television series, this is a photographic record of how the workforce of Heligan, past and present, have created the splendour of the gardens today. From Victorian images that show how they once were, to recent pictures of an ice-sculpture exhibition featuring "ghosts of gardeners past", the book spans the whole of Heligan's existence.
