The Dartmoor Trust

Can you identify this Dartmoor cottage?

We were recently given this photograph of a cottage on Dartmoor but it comes with a mystery - we don't know where it is! If you can help us identify the location please get in touch via our contact page.

The only clues we have are:

Possibly dated in the 1940s.
Letters 'S' and 'O' are scratched onto the back of the painting.
The frame had the full name ' Marcelle Geloso ' on the back.
There are no other buildings visible nearby

Please email us if you know any more about this [email protected]

THE PHOEBE WORTLEY-TALBOT LEGACY PROJECT 2024-2025

Phoebe Wortley-Talbot was born in 1926 and died in 2009 leaving a considerable sum of money in trust for her remaining family to use charitably, much of it supporting projects on her beloved Dartmoor which had been her home for many years. This became the Phoebe Wortley- Talbot Charitable Trust. In 2023 a generous grant was made to the Dartmoor Trust, whose Archive of 100,000 photographs of the moor is dedicated to preserving visual images free to public access. This grant resulted in a two-year programme inviting contemporary artists to provide their own interpretations of the moor. Year 1 resulted in a hugely successful photography exhibition of Dartmoor, while in Year 2 (2025) members of the South West Academy of Fine & Applied Arts will provide new interpretations of the moor through paintings and other works of art.

The Dartmoor Trust exists to support life in this beautiful and special part of the World. Our people, environment and heritage. We pride ourselves in having supported hundreds of community groups to bring their projects to life and we welcome you to join us in our work. Your donations and legacies help the Dartmoor Trust to continue to provide funding to allow for this important work to continue.
