  Location of Lanhydrock House in Cornwall | |
Lanhydrock House, commonly known simply as Lanhydrock, is a country house and estate in the parish of Lanhydrock, Cornwall, UK.
The house stands in extensive grounds (360 hectares or 890 acres) above the River Fowey, and has been owned and managed by the National Trust since 1953.[1] The house dates from the 1620s, however most of the interiors were reconstructed after a fire in 1881; a new service wing was built at the same time. It is a Grade I listed building[2] and is set in gardens with formal areas. The hill behind the house is planted with a fine selection of shrubs and trees.[3]
The parish church is dedicated to St Hydroc and stands in the grounds of Lanhydrock House. Parts date back to the late 15th century and the church has a chancel, nave, north and south aisles and three-stage battlemented tower with nine bells. Eight bells date from the late 19th century and are regularly rung. The ninth bell dates from circa 1599 and is only rung infrequently for tolling.[4]
