A Bit of History

Tehidy Park dates back more than 700 years and for most of that time was the home of the Basset family, a locally well-known land owning and tin mining family.

By 1330 a significant building existed on the site, but this was destroyed by a group of Cornish rebels in the 1497 uprising. More than 200 years later in 1734 work was started on a large mansion by John Pendarves Basset. The architect of this new mansion and two lodges was William Turn of Picadilly. However, following the demise of the tin mining industry, the last of the Bassets vacated the mansion in 1915.

By 1917 the bulk of the estate had been bought by a London syndicate who offered the mansion with its 250 acres of land for use as a hospital, accepted and maintained by the local council. The hospital closed in the mid 1980s and stood empty until 1997 when it was sold to The Raven Group for development and restoration to its current high standard (winner of “What House” Magazine’s  Gold award for Best Renovation in 1998).
