Godolphin House, Cornwall 1900 – 2024

Godolphin House, located in Cornwall, was built in the late 15th century by the Godolphin family. Over the years, the property experienced significant neglect, particularly during the late 18th century when the Dukes of Leeds, its subsequent owners, failed to maintain its condition. However, a restoration effort in the 1930s revitalised the estate, allowing it to regain its former glory. Presently, Godolphin House and its picturesque grounds are preserved as part of the National Trust, ensuring that this historical site remains a treasured part of the region’s heritage. The comparative images reveal the enduring charm and architectural significance of this notable landmark.
