Mariners

Mariners is a 17th-century building, originally three cottages and now converted into a single residence, situated in Landewednack Church Cove. The structure is predominantly of whitewashed stone at lower levels and on the east-facing gable wall, with upper walls of plastered cob. Timber lintels are present over the openings. The steeply pitched thatched roof has gable ends on the west side and a hipped roof on the east.

The western block is two storeys with an attic. It includes a large external stone chimney stack with a stepped design and a brick upper stage, and a small attic window within the gable. A large central entrance is on the ground floor, and two first-floor windows are present, featuring lapped glass and glazing bars. The eastern block is asymmetrical and has two and a half storeys, with a brick chimney at the ridge. It is thought to have once contained cellars associated with the fishing industry, and ground-floor areas. The ground floor now has four 20th-century windows with glazed bars and a 20th-century glazed porch. The first floor has two horizontal sliding sash windows, each with 12 panes. The second floor mirrors this arrangement with two sash windows of 12 panes, plus a 20th-century pivoting window and a 20th-century window in the east gable.

The interior of the western block features two cells. The west room has a large stone fireplace and a ladder-style stair to the first-floor room; the second room is open to the roof, though partitions have been replaced. The east block on the right has undergone alterations. The building was used as a public house, licensed in 1834 and locally known as a “kiddlewink," with a section of the bar retained on the first floor. Some thatch ties are visible. The building is built into the side of a steep hill.
