Description

The wall attached to the north-east corner of Tregothnan and running south-east from it, known as the Kew border wall, was likely built between 1845 and 1848 by Lewis Vulliamy for the second Earl of Falmouth. Constructed from Pentewan stone ashlar, the wall stands approximately 3 metres high and is topped with battlements. It appears to have been built around the same time as the south-east corner of Tregothnan.
