Outside: gated driveway, parking for numerous vehicles, detached double garage, additional open fronted detached barn. Enclosed beautifully stocked gardens and grounds of approximately 1½ acres. DESCRIPTION An extended and detached bungalow in a rural position on the outskirts of the picturesque hamlet of Mawgan on the Lizard Peninsula. The property is set within gardens and grounds of approximately 1½ acres which include a mature orchard which features a variety of fruit bearing trees including apple, pear, damson and cherry trees. Having been extended by the current owners, the property is now double its original size and provides ample accommodation which includes four double bedrooms with master bedroom benefitting from an en-suite bathroom with separate shower and an additional family bathroom. 3 Ref: LCAA6542 Completing the accommodation is a dual aspect lounge with picture windows and exposed timber floorboards, an additional dining room again benefitting from a picture window overlooking the front garden, a modern fitted kitchen with an adjoining utility room. Outside there is ample parking for several vehicles including space for motorhomes and boats, a large detached double garage and an additional open fronted detached barn providing handy storage. The gardens and grounds are extremely well stocked and include several sitting out areas, two ponds, two disused greenhouses, a timber storage shed, swathes of open lawn and a mature orchard. Extending in all to approximately 1½ acres. A superb opportunity situated close to the rugged cliffs, headlands, golden sandy beaches, pretty coves and working fishing villages of the Lizard Peninsula. LOCATION The Old Nursery is located at the gateway to the Lizard Peninsula with its rugged cliffs and headlands, beautiful beaches, stunning coves and idyllic fishing villages of Cadgwith, Coverack, Mullion, Porthallow and Porthleven. This is one of the most beautiful areas of Cornwall with the property within short distance of some of Cornwall’s finest beaches. The Lizard Peninsula is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is conveniently accessible to the ancient stannary town of Helston, famous for its Flora Day festival. The characterful town of Penzance, the port of Falmouth, St Ives with the Tate St Ives and cathedral city of Truro are all very accessible. Particularly close by is the world famous Helford River with its evocative creeks, Falmouth Bay and the United Kingdom’s most southerly golf course at Mullion above Poldu Cove. The beautiful golden sandy beaches of Gunwalloe and Poldu, both popular with surfers are just minutes’ away by car. Boasting some of the most scenic and beautiful works to be found in the south west together with contrasting rugged coastline and atmospheric sheltered wooded creeks, numerous enchanting and unspoilt fishing villages – the Lizard Peninsula is much loved, visited and often mentioned by many literary, poetic and artistic figures which include AA Milne, Compton McKenzie, JM Barry and Arthur Conan Doyle. Indeed, the latest, popular series of Poldark was, in part, filmed nearby. Cornwall in general has always had a great deal to offer with the longest coastline of any county in England and a romantic maritime tradition of smuggling trade and wrecking. In short, Rosevear Farm Cottage is perfectly positioned in order to explore all of the attractions that west Cornwall has to offer. DOCTORS AND DENTISTS – There are a wide and varied range throughout the Lizard Peninsula and the nearby historic, market town of Helston. 4 Ref: LCAA6542 LOCAL CAFÉS, RESTAURANTS AND PUBLIC HOUSES – Some of the best food and drink produce in Cornwall can be found on the Lizard Peninsula, being home to a superb selection of foody outlets including restaurants, pubs, cafés, delis and a number of producers and manufactures. The Lizard Peninsula itself has an abundance of local produce. This coupled with fresh fish and meat from local farms, ends up on plates in the restaurants, cafés and pubs on the Lizard Peninsula providing visitors with some of the freshest and tastiest food in Cornwall. Fish features heavily in the local eateries but this sits well alongside other local meats including beef, pork, lamb and game. Sample sumptuous cream teas with homemade jam and scones to preserves, cakes and other local produce all found at the many cafés and delis in and around the Lizard Peninsula. There is also a broad range and supply of quality meats from local butchers and you can also purchase fresh Cornish fish from anyone of the many fishmongers or even direct from the local fisherman. THINGS TO DO – Whether it be surfing, sailing, walking or visiting estates and gardens, whatever your interest the Lizard Peninsula and surrounding areas has many fantastic attractions and activities that are popular with visitors of all ages. Activities on and around the Lizard Peninsula would naturally include lots of water based excitement, such as sailing, kayaking, surfing, wind surfing and coasteering. If that sounds a little bit too strenuous you can visit many sub tropical gardens, historic houses, castles, and of course plenty of golden sandy beaches – the Lizard Peninsula in essence, has it all. NEARBY WALKS – The Lizard Peninsula and surrounding area is home to some of Cornwall’s most rugged and beautiful coastline with fantastic walks to be had along the South West Coast Path. Perhaps the most popular walk is known as ‘The Three Sides of the Lizard’. This itself is a beautiful and stunning walk around the rugged tip of the Lizard, passing the most southerly point on the mainland, following undulating high cliffs. It really is a lovely walk in springtime or indeed summer when the grassland is bright with many different wild flowers. Equally though, in the autumn when the bushes are full of migrant birds such as Pipit, Warblers and Buntings. Although reserved for the most hardcore walkers, the winter months bring with it perhaps, some of the most breathtaking views and experiences to be had when walking along the South West Coast Path. Along the three sides of the Lizard there are many fascinating features for all ages, including the lighthouse and lifeboat station, the Marconi wireless museum the walk equally allows you to visit the hidden beach at Housel Bay.

Action Plan p59 Appendix: Tavistock Statement of Significance p62 Bibliography p76 Acknowledgement The author is grateful to Alex Mettler and Barry Gamble for their assistance in preparing this strategy. 1 Introduction This strategy sets out a framework and action plan for improving interpretation in Tavistock and for enabling the town to fulfil the requirements of a Key Centre within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site (WHS). It is intended to complement the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Learning Strategy (Kell 2013) which concentrates on learning activities and people. Consequently the focus here is primarily on interpretive content and infrastructure rather than personnel. Aims and objectives The brief set by the Tavistock World Heritage Site Key Centre Steering Group was to identify a consistent, integrated approach to presenting the full range of themes arising from the Outstanding Universal Value of WHS Areas 8, 9 and 10 and to respond to the specific recommendations arising from the WHS Interpretation Strategy (WHS 2005). We were asked to: x Address interpretation priorities in the context of the Cornish Mining WHS x Identify and prioritise target audiences x Set out a clearly articulated framework and action plan for the development of interpretation provision in WHS Area 10, including recommendations which address x Product development (i.e.

ISSN 0309-2199 BRITISH MINING No.8 STANNARY TALES Justin Brooke Introduction I recently had the opportunity to examine a large quantity of ephemera relating to the Stannary Courts of Cornwall and Devon between 1815 and 1870. In the course of this much interesting material came to light which forms the basis of these notes, supplemented where relevant by extracts from contemporary journals and other printed sources, and from my own notes on the individual mines. In presenting these I offer my sincere thanks to P.L. Hull Esq, M.A. Cornwall County Archivist, and to his staff, without whose assistance these notes would not have been written. J.B. 1. WHAT IS A TIN MINE? Until the passing of the Stannaries Courts Act in August 1836 tin mines came under Stannary Law and other mines under the common law. It was of some importance for a mine to be treated as a tin mine, as was shown in April 1818 at the sittings of the Vice-Warden’s Court in Truro. Here was heard a petition for the recovery of costs in the case of Gundry v.
