Penjerrick Garden was purchased by the Fox family at the beginning of the 19th century. Robert Ware Fox (1789-1877) is credited with naturalising over 300 species of plants. His son Barclay Fox greatly enlarged the house in the 1840s together with the gardens around it together with a new entrance drive. The house fell into disrepair and in 1935 was replaced with the current house by Waldo Trench Fox (1892 - 1954) The garden is now looked after by Mrs Rachel Morin daughter of Waldo and Janet Trench Fox.
