St Winnow Barton

St Winnow Barton is a farmhouse built around the 1840s, incorporating stonework or parts of walls from an earlier 15th and 16th-century mansion. The building is constructed from rubblestone with granite lintels over the openings, featuring large stone quoins and a steeply pitched slate roof with gable ends and a projecting gabled front on the right. A large brick stack with four diagonal tall shafts is located at the center of the ridge.

The farmhouse has a single depth plan and is two storeys high, with a regular four-window front. On the ground floor, there are three 3-light wrought iron casements with wrought-iron diamond glazing bars, set beneath granite lintels with reused hoods that have labels. The gable front projection features a fine-grained granite moulded doorway from the 16th century, which has been presumably reset and includes a 4-centred arch and a hood mould, with ferns carved in the spandrels. A 19th-century studded plank door is also present.

On the first floor, there are three windows on the left that match the size and pattern of those on the ground floor, while on the right, there is a 2-light wrought iron casement with wrought iron glazing bars, a granite lintel, and a reused hood. The left-hand gable end has a reused blocked granite 2-light mullioned window with cavetto moulded jambs. The right-hand gable end features a reused granite pointed arch on the ground floor to the left, also with cavetto moulded jambs. Adjacent to this is the remains of a large fireplace with a granite lintel, partly embedded in the rubble wall that continues south from the right-hand gable end. The roof is reported to have a 19th-century King post truss.

The site is associated with the earlier mansion of St Winnow, and it is believed that the right-hand gable wall and rear wall may incorporate parts of the earlier mansion's walls, which extended to the east of the current site. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, St Winnow was a Domesday Manor held by Godfrey from the Bishop, as recorded in the Domesday Book of Cornwall in 1086.
