Description
No county except Wiltshire is as rich as Cornwall in prehistoric remains. The inscribed milestone exhibited in St Hilary church and dating from the time of Constantine takes us into the centuries of early Christianity. Medieval military architecture is chiefly represented by a small group of eminently interesting round castles. Restormel is the most perfect of these - classic 13th century, Tremanton the one with the most extensive remains. The Earls of Falmouth rebuilt rebuilt their romantic castellated mansion of Tregothnan and obtained the services of Wilkins for this. He also built Pentillie for the Tillies, whereas Caerhayes, equally picturesque, is an early work of John Nash.
