Grade II Listed free library built in 1896 by Symons and Sons for John Passmore Edwards (1823-1911). The building was dedicated to Charles Buller (1805-1848) who represented Liskeard in parliament between 1832 and 1848. There is a former caretaker’s cottage at the rear of the library. During the excavations for the library workers found a well defined silver lead load, two feet in width and seven foot from the surface running in a North and South direction. Some very fine stones were taken from it before being sealed over.
