A Year at the Parsonage

The Story of a House & Garden
A year in the countryside with two English tastemakers – one of interiors, the other of gardens

Step inside one of Britain’s most admired country homes.

For over a decade, celebrated interior designer Ben Pentreath and award-winning gardener Charlie McCormick transformed The Old Parsonage in Dorset into one of Britain’s most inspiring homes. In this beautifully photographed book, they open the doors for one final year before beginning a new chapter in Orkney.
Inside you’ll discover:

• Timeless English country house interiors.
• Inspiring garden design through every season.
• Ben Pentreath’s signature decorating style, with colour, antiques and classic English interiors.
• Charlie McCormick’s celebrated planting, flowers and productive garden.
• Seasonal traditions, entertaining and everyday life at The Old Parsonage.
• Hundreds of beautiful photographs of the house and gardens.
• The story behind the couple’s move from Dorset to the remote island of Rousay, Orkney.

Part interiors book, part garden book and part personal story, A Year at the Parsonage is a celebration of English country living, beautiful homes and the changing seasons. Filled with decorating inspiration, gardening ideas and breathtaking photography, it’s a book to return to throughout the year.
Perfect for lovers of interior design, English country houses, gardens, decorating, flowers, architecture and country living, and for readers of Ben Pentreath’s bestselling books.
