Like many educated men of the period Gutch was interested in all things scientific, literary and artistic and wrote a series of articles for Thomas Sutton's Photographic Notes. His personal albums dating from 1856-1860 are a fascinating collection of work featuring the people and places of Cornwall and Devon, Malvern in Worcestershire, Somerset, Bristol and the Lake District.
