Freemasons Hall, Quay Street, Lostwithiel - Cornwall (UA)
C13 former hall of the Duchy Palace, a masonic hall since 1878. A building preservation trust acquired the building; an options appraisal carried out and proposals for its re-use developed. English Heritage offered grant for investigation and repairs which were completed in the spring 2013. Since then, dampness in the lower areas and problems with the heating services have caused a large area of decay in the timber of the main hall. The building is now vacant again. A Covid Recovery Fund Grant has led to a solution to the floor structure being implemented in 2021.
