Today it’s a ruin — but its story stretches back three centuries and ties into the heart of Cornwall’s industrial and horticultural heritage. � Wikipedia +1 Originally the estate of medieval families including the Daungers and Bonythons, the site you see before you began to take its grand form in the early 1700s. A new house was started around the 1720s by Samuel Kempe, and then, after being sold in 1749 to wealthy mine owner William Lemon, transformed into a striking Palladian mansion with Ionic portico and elegant colonnades by architect Thomas Edwards around 1750. � Historic England In the early 1800s, Sir William Lemon and later Sir Charles Lemon, a passionate plantsman and Cornish MP, expanded both house and gardens. Under Sir Charles in particular, Carclew’s grounds became celebrated for rare rhododendrons and exotic plant species brought back from global expeditions — making the estate a centre of Victorian horticulture in Cornwall. � Historic Houses Foundation But in April 1934, disaster struck: a devastating fire gutted much of the mansion, leaving behind the shell of what had been a majestic home. In the decades that followed, Carclew briefly served as a refuge and military camp around the time of the Second World War, before ultimately being abandoned — its crumbling walls and twisting gardens slowly surrendering to time. � Wikipedia +1 Today, we’re here with Captain Cornish Adventure, stepping inside this monumental ruin — to uncover what remains, to connect with its layered past, and to explore what stories these stones still hold.” Hope you enjoy
