Rowena Cade, Photographer unknown.
In this photograph by an unknown photographer, possibly a friend or colleague on site, we see Rowena Cade being pushed in a wheelbarrow through Minack Theatre late in her life. No longer able to walk the steep paths herself, she asked to be taken around the theatre so she could see the work that had been done.
Rowena spent decades carving the Minack by hand into the Cornish cliffs, and even near the end remained closely involved in its making. The image is remembered as a quiet, matter of fact record of her determination to stay connected to the place she built, right up until the last.
