More about this scene
Castle Street is 'the finest Georgian street in Cornwall', according to Sir John Betjeman, who knew a thing or two about the county. The house with the two dormers is Lawrence House, now the town museum, and at the far end we can see the gable of Eagle House. The white statue atop the ridge is of Britannia; tradition says that when she hears St Mary's clock strike thirteen, she will come down from the roof and walk up the hill to church.
