Project Overview Lanhydrock House in Bodmin, Cornwall, is a period property set on vast grounds covering almost 900 acres, with some parts of the Grade-I-listed building dating back to the 1620’s. The dangers of fire are by no means unknown in the house’s history. In 1881, a fire started in the kitchen chimney and was spread by high winds, destroying many of the house’s Jacobean features. Later it was refurbished in high Victorian style, with a number of fire safety precautions introduced that still survive today. The National Trust has managed the house since 1953 and is responsible for preserving this valuable property and its rich history, including the priceless Jacobean ceiling in the Long Gallery of the north wing, which survived the 1881 fire.
