Abstract: |
The historic building recording was carried out to support a Listed Building application for the construction of 16 new lodges on the south site, together with the demolition of the 1930s semi-detached houses and the restoration of the existing listed coach house to form 4 new lodges. Should consent be granted, it will provide a long term record of the building as it survived prior to the redevelopment. In accordance with a brief written by the HEAA (Historic Environment Advisor, Archaeology) of Cornwall Council, the project comprised a photographic survey, fabric analysis, documentary and map research. A combination of these methods has found that the coach house was built in 1870 as part of Trenython Manor for Colonel John Whitehead Peard, commonly known as 'Garibaldi's Englishman'. Peard served with Guiseppe Garibaldi during the Italian wars of unification in the 1860's. As reward for his service Garibaldi had the house designed and built in the Italianate style for Peard. In 1891 Trenython Manor became the Bishop's Palace for the Diocese of Truro with Bishop John Gott living here until his death in 1906. The house and coach house saw little change during these two significant occupants with the buildings remaining as built. By 1925 Trenython Manor was owned by the Great Western Railway and functioned as a convalescent home. It stayed this way until 2006 when Club La Costa bought the Manor for use as a Hotel and Spa. The coach house originally comprised a central range with north and south wings. These remained unaltered until the convalescent home redeveloped the site and demolished the north wing to build two semi detached houses for staff accommodation. Original Victorian elements of the coach house were retained including the central two storey element containing ground floor office, first floor room and the single storey south range and wing. These have fallen into disrepair and although altered still retain some their 19th century form. |
