Uploader's Comments

Sir Richard Edgcumbe built the house between 1547 and 1553. It was gutted during World War II by German bombs, with the restoration process beginning in 1958 at the 6th Earl's instigation. In 1971, the 7th Earl sold the estate to Cornwall County Council and Plymouth City Council, and it has been open to the public since 1988. Its interiors have been restored to 18th century styles.
