A fine early C18 coach, known as 'The Trewinnard Coach' is preserved in Truro Museum.
The coach is reputed to have been bought by the Hawkins family from a Spanish
ambassador and used until 1777. From then it was stored in this building until 1919
when it was restored by Messrs. Fuller and Co. of Bristol.
