Fix this text"EVIDENCE of the heavy death duties
Fix this textwhich Britain’s landowners havte
Fix this textfaced in recent years is the case of Cote-
Fix this texthele House which was accepted by the
Fix this textGovernment in 1946 in lieu of death
Fix this textduties from the sixth Earl of Mount
Fix this textEdgecumbe. The following year it was
Fix this textgiven by the Treasury to the National
Fix this textTrust by whom it is now administered.
Fix this textLike their many other great and historic
Fix this textproperties, Cotehele is open to the public
Fix this textat certain times on payment of a small
Fix this textadmission charge.
Fix this textThis medieval mansion, one of the
Fix this textbest preserved baronial dwellings in
Fix this textBritain, stands in terraced gardens high
Fix this textabove the river Tamar in the parish of
Fix this textCalstock, Cornwall. It remains today
Fix this textvery much as it did at the end of the
Fix this text15th century in the reign of Henry VII
Fix this textwhen it was built by Sir Richard Edge-
Fix this textcumbe. The family held the manor for
Fix this textnearly six hundred years and they pre-
Fix this textserved not only the medieval structure
Fix this textbut also the contents so that today it is
Fix this texta treasure-house which attracts the interest
Fix this textand admiration of many visitors to that
Fix this textpart of Cornwall.
Fix this textThe magnificent furniture, tapestries
Fix this textand armour have been generously left on
Fix this textloan by the Earl of Mount Edgecumbe
Fix this textand are outstanding examples of fine
Fix this textcraftsmanship. Mortlake and Flemish
Fix this texttapestries decorate the walls of the bed-
Fix this textroom once occupied by King Charles I.
Fix this textIn 1789 George 111, Queen Charlotte and
Fix this texttheir daughters were entertained at
Fix this textCotehele. Here can be seen a small silk
Fix this textsatchel which was a gift to a member of
Fix this textthe family from Queen Victoria. In the
Fix this textsame room is preserved a letter from Lord
Fix this textNelson, written on the Agamemnon in
Fix this text1794, and a letter from the Duke of
Fix this textWellington dated December, 1840.
Fix this textAn outstanding feature of the interior
Fix this textis the Great Hall which served as a mead
Fix this texttavern during the Festival of Britain.
Fix this textThe roof is still in its medieval form and
Fix this texton the rough stone floor stands a massive
Fix this textoak refectory table which displays 17th-
Fix this textcentury pewter, much of it bearing the
Fix this textEdgecumbe arms. On the walls hang
Fix this texttrophies of the chase, halberds, pikes,
Fix this textbills, swords, daggers and other ancient
Fix this textweapons of war which are associated with
Fix this textAgincourt and other famous battles of
Fix this textlong ago. Here, also, is a massive two-
Fix this texthandled sword which is reputed to have
Fix this textbelonged to the Black Prince, who became
Fix this textthe first Duke of Cornwall in 1337.
