CUBERT PENHALE SW 75 NE 2/10001 The Count House II
Count house, now accommodation for army training camp. Early C19. Slatestone rubble with dry slate roof and brick end stacks. Double-depth plan. 2 storeys; 3-window range. Segmental brick arches over central door and horned 6/6-pane sashes; canted oriel to right with sashes. Similar sashes to rear. Interior not inspected. An unusually complete surviving example of its type, from which was controlled and scrutinised the apportionment of underground leases (or pitches) in the mines. The first floor of the count house was used for meetings, and from the oriel (which is a very rare survival) was conducted the auctioning of pitches during the setting day. Detailed records exist of its activities between 1849 and 1870 when lead, silver and haematite were mined in four shafts at Penhale Mine. Associated mines were Wheal Golden, Phoenix and Gravel Hill.
