Image: © Jo and Steve Turner Taken: 11 Jun 2005
Grade II* Listed round cottage. Probably built between 1815 and 1818, reputedly inspired by one in St Winnow. One of 5 round houses built (for about £42 each) in Veryan by Hugh Rowe, a Lostwithiel builder, for the Reverend Jeremiah Trist (1755-1829). Trist added the church clock tower and also had two schools and Parc Behan built (In 1870-72 John Marius Wilson says the church was rebuilt in 1848). Reportedly built for his five daughters, it seems they were lived in by his tenants or labourers of the village. Trist had five daughters and two sons but by 1815 Louisa had died and Maria died in 1818. September 2019, application was approved to make a ground floor bedroom with shower/wash-room facilities.
