John Coulson TREGARTHEN
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated at Penzance Grammar School and Wren’s, and graduated with Mathematical Honours from London University in 1878.
Career
The following year he was appointed Mathematical Master at Trinity College School, a grammar school in Stratford-on-Avon. Coulson bought the school within a few years and was its headmaster for six years, from 1885-1900. Here the energetic Tregarthen was able to pursue his naturalist interests fully, and began to write about the wildlife he saw around him.
Corelli was soon to become his mentor, recommending him to her publisher, John Murray, and Tregarthen subsequently was to dedicate many of his books to her.
Tregarthen was President of the Midland Cornish Association in 1901, President of the Royal Institution of Cornwall (1927-1929), a Fellow of the Zoological Society, a county councillor and Justice of the Peace, and was made a bard of Gorseth Kernow in 1928, taking the bardic name Mylgarer, ("Lover of Wild Animals"). In 1881 Tregarthen married Rose, the youngest daughter of West. Huntley Bailey of Maida Vale.
They had one son. Tregarthen spent his final years at his house, "Rosemorran", which is in Edgecumbe Gardens, Newquay, Cornwall.
He was buried at Street Columb Minor, Cornwall.
