The second of two Cornwall projects was led by Dr Joanna Mattingly and looked at the fishing communities of Mousehole and Newlyn situated to the west of Penzance. As part of the research, architectural historians Nick Cahill and Eric Berry were commissioned to produce a full measured survey of Keigwins, a merchant's house believed to be the only building to survive the burning of Mousehole by the Spanish in 1595.
In addition Cahill and Berry produced a settlement study of Mousehole, identifying ancient market site, the location of mills and mill races and lost chapels. This survey also yielded a photographic gazetteer of the buildings of Mousehole as they were in 2006.
The survey of Keigwins was particularly interesting, challenging the long held local belief as no fabric earlier than the 17th century could be found extant in the house.
