Lanhydrock House

Enlarge picture
The gatehouse of Lanhydrock House in Cornwall, together with the north wing, are all that survives of the original 17th-century mansion. In the mid-19th century, the leading architect of Victorian Gothic Revival, George Gilbert Scott, was commissioned to modernize the house. Twenty years later Scott's mansion was destroyed by fire. The house has since been rebuilt in a neo-Jacobean style.

House in Cornwall, England, 3 km/2 mi southeast of Bodmin. The original 17th-century house was largely destroyed by fire in 1881, but the north wing and detached granite gatehouse survived, and the house was rebuilt within four years. Gilbert Scott laid out the formal gardens in 1857. The 7th Viscount Clifden gave the house and 220 ha/543 acres to the National Trust in 1953.
