Cotehele

Near Saltash, Cornwall

A Tudor house where ghostly music and the scent of herbs drift through the rooms.

Cotehele is a beautifully preserved Tudor house above the River Tamar. Sir Richard Edgcumbe is said to have escaped Richard III's soldiers by throwing his cap, weighted with a stone, into the river so they thought he had drowned.
