Round cottage. Circa 1820. Built by Hugh Rowe, a Lostwithiel builder, for the
Reverend Jeremiah Trist. Painted slatestone and cob with grouted conical scantle
slate roof with octagonal central chimney. Circular plan of one room. 2 storeys.
North doorway, now window, has arch head formed by reused Early Decorated intersecting
window tracery (possibly removed from north wall of church tower when clock face
inserted.) Reused Medieval carved head over. Reused Medieval tracery intersections
to left and right at higher level. Small pane of glass in left one lights stairs.
Reused C15 cusped and ogee headed outer arched frames to ground floor east and north
windows with central wooden mullions and cusped tracery. Further reused granite
Medieval 2 light mullion to west. First floor window over this and to north-east C20
extension linked by covered passage to west. Interior has original chimney breast and
ceiling beams. Replacement stair in original position. One of 5 round houses in
Veryan all by Hugh Rowe for the Reverend Jeremiah Trist, reputed to be one for each of
his 5 daughters. Round plan said to be to deter the activities of the Devil but more
likely reason is economy. The others are thatched. Only this one has slate roof and
reused Medieval material. Stones are said by occupier to have come from a building
near Ladock.
