The Bulletin  

NEW GUINEA LAND OF PROMISE — PAGE 25  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 76—No. 3918  

Wednesday, March 16, 1955  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

No. 231 the Homeland Series by The House of Seppelt  

TREASURY OF MEDIEVAL BRITAIN, COTEHELE HOUSE  

HIGH above the Cornish bank of the River Tamar, six miles south-west  

of Tavistock, stands the grey granite mansion of Cotehele —one of the  

best-preserved baronial manors of medieval days in Britain.  

The passage of time has left few marks on this historic house which was  

originally the country seat of the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe. In the  

reign of Edward 111 (1327-1377) Hiiaria de Cotehele married William de  

Edgcumbe. His great-grandson, Sir Richard Edgcumbe, built most of the  

manor buildings as they exist today, and in essentials Cotehele remains  

much as it was during the period 1485-1539 in the reign of Henry VII. For  

nearly six hundred years the family held the property and they made every  

effort to preserve, not only the medieval structure, but also the historic  

contents of this beautiful home.  

In 1944, when the 6th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe succeeded to the family  

estates, he suggested that Cotehele and its 1300 acres should be accepted in  

part payment of death duties. It was received by the Treasury in 1947,  

the first to be taken over in this way, and it passed into the care of the  

National Trust and is now open to the public.  

In the richly tapestry-hung chambers can be seen superb collection  

of period furniture. The walls of the old Drawing Room arc adorned  

with Brussels Tapestry illustrating the history of man. massive refectory  

table stands on the rough stone floor of the Great Hall which has  

remarkably fine timber roof. On the walls hang trophies of war and of  

the chase; they include battle-axes, armour, gauntlets, matchlocks, pistols,  

spears, swords, halberds, pikes and daggers. Some of the weapons were  

used at the Battle of Agincourt and at Bosworth and other famous battles.  

Among the exhibits can be seen massive two-handed sword which belonged  

to the Black Prince.  

Many Royal visitors were entertained at Cotehele during its long history  

and they include Charles I, George 111, Queen Charlotte and Queen Anne.  

Heraldic panels in the windows bear the arms of the Edgcumbe family and  

of those with whom they have been associated in marriage. The grandfather  

of Sir Walter Raleigh was distinguished member.
