Trebah, Game Larder Immediately West Of Trebah (House)

A game larder dating from the mid to late 19th century stands immediately west of Trebah House. It is constructed of red brick with timber louvred sides, and has a pyramidal hipped slate roof with lead rolls to the hips. The building is square in plan, with a doorway on the south side. It is single-storey, with square corner piers of red brick supporting the pyramidal roof. Between the corner piers, the sides are louvred, incorporating slate cills and slate panels below. The north and south sides are recessed back from the corner piers, the south side featuring a central louvred door. The pyramidal roof includes a small square louvred lantern with a hipped slate roof and a small conical zinc ventilator. Inside, the floor is of slate flags, but there are no shelves present. The roof structure is complete, featuring chamfered rafters, collars, and tie-beams, presumably used for hanging game. The game larder is located within the garden to the east of Trebah House, which was the residence of Charles Fox, a Quaker, who built the house in the early 19th century and planted a shrub garden from approximately 1830 to 1868 in the valley leading to the Helford River estuary. The building was formerly situated within the parish of Constantine, prior to a parish boundary change.
