Tregothnan in the late 19th century.

The Tregothnan Estate, located near Truro in Cornwall, UK, is the traditional home of the Boscawen family, and the seat of Lord Falmouth. The original house was built in Plantagenet times and sacked in the English Civil War. The new house has the date 1652 carved in stone above the side gate. It was enlarged in the early 19th century to designs by William Wilkins, the architect of the National Gallery in London.

Tregothnan is famous for its large private botanic garden and arboretum. Tregothnan is not open to the public, but guided visits to the garden may be arranged.

Recently it has started growing tea [1]
