Carclew House, one of Britain's lost houses, was a large Palladian country house near Mylor in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It was situated at approximately three miles north of Falmouth.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕 Carclew House was rebuilt in the 18th century and again in the early 19th century but was destroyed by fire in 1934.〔Worsley, p. 186〕 ==Design and construction== The original house and estate were purchased by a wealthy merchant William Lemon (1696–1760) circa 1739. Lemon's town house in Truro had been designed by the architect Thomas Edwards, and it was again to Edwards that Lemon turned to substantially increase and modernise his new country house Carclew.〔Cornish History〕 Work began in 1739, the enhancement to the mansion included flanking the main block with colonnades terminated by small pavilions in the fashionable Palladian manner, the design was similar in appearance to drawings of Palladio's planned Villa Ragona.〔''Cornish History'': "this villa which the reference refers to as "Villa Le Ghizzole" was never built"〕 The house is now a ruin, and is home to many wildlife species. The original stone pillars are still there today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carclew House」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
