It is with great sadness that we share the news that Les, who worked at Treworgey for over 40 years, died last week on his birthday, Armistice Day. Many of you will remember his cheeky sense of humour, his impressive work ethic, and the inimitable figure he cut with his hat, his pipe and his collie at his side.
Linda and Bevis first met Les in 1972 when he was helping Bevis's mum out at weekends at her small farm. He left farm work and started looking after gardens in the early 80s .. when he joined us at Treworgey. Linda and Bevis saw Les for the last time just a few hours before he died.
Les will be sorely missed, but his legacy is everywhere you look at Treworgey - many of the stone walls were built by him.
