Just a quick message to say that the cottage on the left that comes down to the road in the photo is ours. It is now called the Quillett, we have restored it back to its former glory, and makes a wonderful home. Thank you for the wonderful photo from your collection.

The building of Mount Edgecumbe House was started by Piers Edgecumbe in 1539 and remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. It was badly damaged by German incendiaries in March 1941 and subsequently restored, but the highest tower in this picture was never rebuilt.
