3 3 TEHIDY PARK ESTATE HISTORICAL NOTE Tehidy Park dates back more than 700 years and for most of that time was the home of the Bassett family, a well known local land owning and tin mining family. By 1330 a significant building existed, following the granting of a building licence to William Bassett. The property was torn down by a group of Cornish rebels during the 1497 uprising. More than 200 years later in 1734 work on a large mansion was started by John Pendarves Bassett, but prior to that a Tudor manor house had been built on the same site. The architect to the new mansion and two lodges was William Turn of Piccadilly. The last of the Bassett family vacated the mansion in In 1916 the estate was sold, so drawing to a close seven centuries of family rule. By 1917 the bulk of the estate had been purchased by a London syndicate who offered the mansion with its 250 acres of land for use as a hospital. The Cornwall Committee of the Patriotic Fund persuaded Cornwall County Council to accept and maintain the building. It remained in use as a hospital until sold to Raven (Cornwall) Ltd who have completed the impressive, award winning restoration and new development. LOCATION Tehidy Park represents an important and outstanding development of exceptional houses of elegance and distinction within a beautiful and historic Country Estate.
