Abstract: |
An archaeological study of walled gardens with a summer house at Restormel Manor, near Lostwithiel, was carried out in 2016 by Cornwall Archaeological Unit, Cornwall Council, for the Duchy of Cornwall. The site lies on the side of the Fowey valley, above the grand barton house, formerly named Trinity, built after the mid-16th century when nearby Restormel Castle was ruinous and its great deer park dis-parked. The study elucidates the origins, use and development of the complex, especially the summer house, to inform plans to restore and re-use them. It draws on research and analysis of maps and other documents, and the results of evaluation trenches excavated with the help of volunteers; so complementing a building survey by CAU in 2010. |
