History

The house was built circa 1710 and remodelled in the early 1800s with later modifications around 1830 and again later in the century. It is built in three floors, to an originally rectangular floor plan, of coursed slatestone with granite dressings and a hipped slate roof. The original entrance led to a large hall with principal rooms to the right and left with the service rooms to the rear. Around 1830 the entrance was moved to the right side and the room to the right was remodelled to serve as an entrance hall. A single-storey range with three rooms was added to the right of the new entrance front at the same time. Around mid-century the building was extended at was now the rear with more service rooms and a lateral corridor was added. A new chimney stack was added for the kitchen as well. In addition a large wing was built to the rear left that enclosed a small service yard and a one-room wing was added at the left end. [1]

Owners

Built for the Willyams family, the house has descended in that same family for the last 300 years or so, being presently owned by their descendants, the Young-Jamiesons. [2] During that time members of the owning family have served as High Sheriff of Cornwall and as MP for Truro. [3]

The house is currently owned by Paul Young-Jamieson and has no public access, although the grounds are regularly used for organised game bird shooting. [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Capesthorne Hall</span> Manor in Cheshire, England

Capesthorne Hall is a country house near the village of Siddington, Cheshire, England. The house and its private chapel were built in the early 18th century, replacing an earlier hall and chapel nearby. They were built to Neoclassical designs by William Smith and (probably) his son Francis. Later in the 18th century, the house was extended by the addition of an orangery and a drawing room. In the 1830s the house was remodelled by Edward Blore; the work included the addition of an extension and a frontage in Jacobean style, and joining the central block to the service wings. In about 1837 the orangery was replaced by a large conservatory designed by Joseph Paxton. In 1861 the main part of the house was virtually destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt by Anthony Salvin, who generally followed Blore's designs but made modifications to the front, rebuilt the back of the house in Jacobean style, and altered the interior. There were further alterations later in the 19th century, including remodelling of the Saloon. During the Second World War the hall was used by the Red Cross, but subsequent deterioration prompted a restoration.
