A singular and important work. John Stengelhofen (1939-2020). Coming from London, he trained as an architect in the meticulous modernist aesthetics of the mid-century Architectural Association. He found Cornwall, moved there and never left. Active in the early years of the Trevithick Society, he was primarily responsible for the introduction of the Society’s Journal in 1973. He left mainstream architecture in the County Architects's department to pursue academic research at the newly-established, Institute of Cornish Studies, establishing himself as a generous, but authoritative lecturer on Cornish industrial archaeology along the way. He used his architectural skills to design Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum, then becoming its first Director in 1975. He moved to the National Maritime Museum in charge of their outstation at Cotehele, with the Tamar sailing barge Shamrock. During his period as President of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, 1984-1986, he had a major hand in the acquisition of the adjacent premises enabling the Royal Cornwall Museum to expand. He co-founded Twelveheads Press in 1978 to publish well-researched books on Cornish and other industrial history. Always generous with both skills and information, he was active in the Cornish Buildings Group for fifty years where he made a substantial contribution to the quality and protection of the built environment of his beloved Cornwall. Latterly he returned to his love of modern design, in the form of research into twentieth century Cornish architecture and architects, and produced as a last collaborative project, a visionary, affordable development in Hayle with impeccable eco credentials, where he made his home.
