LANHYDROCK
CORNWALL, ENGLAND
IMAGE NUMBER 1142
Lanhydrock is one of the most impressive historic houses in Cornwall. Built of local grey slate and granite around an inner courtyard, the house dates to 1640, though most of the current building was the result of rebuilding after a fire in 1881. The house is huge with 50 rooms open to visitors. The National Trust has recreated the atmosphere of an Edwardian country house at Lanhydrock, and the restored kitchen and servant's quarters make a distinctive contrast with the glittering family rooms. Immediately behind the house is the 15th-century church of St Hydroc, where many of the Robartes family lie buried.
