Lanhydrock House and Garden Bodmin Cornwall uk, This 19th-century high-Victorian country house is one of the most fascinating in England. Colourful gardens, riverside walks and family friendly cycle trails. Lanhydrock Lanhydrock was built in 1630-42 for the Robertes family who rose from merchants and bankers to the peerage as Barons of Truro and then Earls of Radnor. The house was partly destroyed by fire in 1881 and was rebuilt by Richard Coad, an ex-pupil of George Gilbert Scott. Almost all that survives of the 17th-century interiors is the 116-ft gallery and its superb barrel-vaulted ceiling containing 24 main panels depicting incidents from the Old Testament. The plasterwork, almost certainly completed by 1642, has been attributed to the Abbots of Frithelstock near Bideford, whose work appears in many country houses in Devon and Cornwall. Meanwhile, Coad’s neo-Jacobean interiors are a splendid expression of late Victorian comfort and prosperity.
