8/123 Former garden walls and gate-piers - at approximately 100 metres south west of Carwythenack Farmhouse

GV II

Garden walls and gate-piers of the demolished mansion Carwythenack. Circa early C18. Slate rubble walls with dressed granite quoins and red brick gate-piers with granite dressings. The walls are on 2 sides of a rectangular field originally a garden. On the long north side there is a large recess flanked by doorways. On the shorter west side a pair of large red brick gate-piers in Flemish bond with large granite plinths with cyma moulding and similarly moulded cornices with granite ogee-shaped caps with obelisk finials ; both the finials are overgrown with ivy. On the south side of the garden there is a stone rubble retaining wall because the field to the south is lower. The east side is open. The now demolished mansion house appears to have been situated in the north east corner where the ground level is slightly raised. In the C17 Carwythenack was held by the Chepmans or Chapmans. John Chapman of Wendron sold it in 1716 to Peter Hill a merchant of Falmouth. William Hill (son of Peter) probably built the Georgian mansion and walls. In 1820 C.S. Gilbert in his Survey of Cornwall (p. 780) describes it as the seat of William Robinson Hill " A handsome square edifice build with reddish stone and a large cupola on the centre of the roof ...... lately much improved and the plantation, walks and waterfalls considerably enlarged and beautified". At the end of the C19 the house fell into dis-repair and was demolished, its materials used to build a new farmhouse at Lower Carwythenack. Sources: Charles Henderson, A Hisory of the parish of Constantine in Cornwall, p.p. 133 to 138. Carwythenack was formerly in Constantine parish before the parish boundaries were changed.
