For the past 10 years, Ben Pentreath and his husband, Charlie McCormick, transformed The Old Parsonage in a small village in Dorset into a dream-like haven of flowers, vegetables and cosy English interiors. This beautifully illustrated book is a love letter to their time here, capturing the changing seasons, the vibrant garden, and the cherished moments shared with friends and family.

Join Ben and Charlie as they take you on a journey through the history and charm of The Old Parsonage, from the initial vision for the garden to the daily routines and traditions that made their home so special. Experience the rhythm of life in West Dorset, from the renewal of spring to the reflection of winter, and witness the couple’s final moments in the house as they prepare for a new adventure on the remote island of Rousay, Orkney.

With countless photographs and personal anecdotes, A Year at the Parsonage offers an intimate glimpse into a life well-lived and the enduring impact of a beloved home. Whether you're a gardening enthusiast, a lover of English interiors, or simply seeking inspiration, this book is a timeless celebration of beauty, creativity and the joy of home.

Ben Pentreath is the founding director of the influential architectural and interior design studio based in London, and co-founder of Pentreath & Hall, one of the leading interiors shops in London. In 2026 Ben was made an OBE in the King’s New Years Honours list for services to design, and his work extends across many disciplines from interior design to the design of new towns. He has written three books, English Decoration, English Houses and in 2024, his monograph An English Vision, documenting 20 years of Ben’s work and philosophy. Charlie McCormick is an acclaimed gardener with a huge and loyal following on social media. Charlie has written for The Times and The Financial Times, for Cabana, and for Scenery, and his garden has appeared in countless publications including The Telegraph, The New York Times, Upstate Diary, Vogue, World of Interiors and Airmail. In 2023, Charlie (and his garden) appeared as the major face for an internationally acclaimed LOEWE campaign.
