Abstract: |
AC Ltd was commissioned to undertake Historic Building Recording of Trewarthenick House and outbuildings, to fulfil planning requirements as part of a wider mitigation strategy in advance of development work. Trewarthenick House is a Grade II Listed Building with much of the estate designated as a Grade II Registered Park and Garden. Previous assessments have highlighted its importance within the wider historic landscape. A house is documented at Trewarthenick from at least the 13th century. The Historic Building Recording undertaken in October and November 2008 identified a number of phases of remodelling, extension and demolition both within the main house and its outbuildings as well as occasional reused 16th or 17th century architectural fragments. The oldest in-situ fabric exposed in the house maybe contemporary with the 1686 date-stone, or with an early 18th century re-build. It is likely that all the principal plan elements that survive were in place by the early 18th century. Following late 18th century alterations, major changes and expansion was undertaken as part of a scheme devised by the architect Henry Harrison in c1831. The house was reduced in size considerably around 1925 and further remodelling in the 1950s included terrazzo work at the north end of the house. The outbuildings include evidence for a stable block, domestic accommodation, privy, barns, cart sheds, stores, laundry and a possible firehouse. Works are ongoing at Trewarthenick and archaeological recording will further enhance our understanding of the evolution of the main house, outbuildings and gardens within its wider setting. |
