Background

Architecture

The original house and estate were purchased by a wealthy merchant William Lemon (1696 1760) circa 1739. Lemon's townhouse in Truro had been designed by the architect Thomas Edwards, and it was again to Edwards that Lemon turned to substantially increase and modernise his new country house Carclew. Work began in 1739, the enhancement to the mansion included flanking the main block with colonnades terminated by small pavilions in the fashionable Palladian manner, the design was similar in appearance to drawings of Palladio's planned Villa Ragona. The house is now a ruin, and is home to many wildlife species. The original stone pillars are still there today.
