Barbara Hepworth (1903–1975) moved to St Ives in Cornwall at the outbreak of war in 1939 with her husband artist Ben Nicholson and young family. In 1949 she purchased Trewyn Studio in the grounds of Trewyn House on Barnoon Hill. She said 'Finding Trewyn Studio was a sort of magic. For ten years I had passed by with my shopping bags not knowing what lay behind the twenty foot wall ... Here was a studio, a yard and garden, where I could work in open air and space'. She designed the garden overlooking St Ives, planting shrubs and trees and placed her sculptures amongst them. The museum and gardens opened in 1980. Developed in association with Grant Waters, Art Detective Group Leader: South East England, East England and the Midlands.
