Tehidy House
Image: © Rod Allday Taken: 12 Dec 2010
A large mansion was built 1734-39, by Thomas Edwards of Greenwich, for John Pendarves Basset and in 1861 John Francis Basset commenced a rebuild, completed in 1863, using his vast wealth arising from his tin mining ownership. In the C20th the house became the basis of Tehidy Hospital. When this closed in the 1980s the house was converted to residential apartments. The surrounding Tehidy Estate is now owned by Cornwall Council and is open to the public as Tehidy Country Park.
