Full description
Tehidy Chest Hospital is marked as the 'Site of a Manor House' on recent map editions. Henderson recorded that it was owned by the Bassett family continuously from the C12 to the C20. Henderson says that in 1330, William Basset had licence to crenellate his mansion of Tehidy (b2). The listing documents record that the house was sacked in 1493 and was rebuilt (b1). The remains of the medieval house were demolished between 1736-40 to make way for a Georgian house, the present Hospital building.
The house was severely damaged by fire in 1919, being partly rebuilt in 1922. Digitised multi-period features of house using Second Edition OS mapping for pre-fire construction, and Modern OS mapping and Listing polygon for the post-fire extensions (b4).
