28 October 2009 - Cotehele

A visit to Cotehele house in Cornwall. The house was built between 1485 and 1560. The Cotehele estate was the home of the Edgcumbe family for nearly 600 years from 1353 until it came into the care of the National Trust in 1947. Follow this link to the NT site for more information.
