This
stunningly beautiful Elizabethan manor house overlooks the picturesque
fishing harbour of Padstow in North Cornwall.
When Peter and Elisabeth Prideaux-Brune arrived
in 1988, a huge challenge lay before them. Today, you can see the
fruits of this labour of love and be enchanted by Prideaux Place and
the stories surrounding it. This stunningly beautiful Elizabethan
manor house overlooks the picturesque fishing harbour of Padstow in
North Cornwall. |

Prideaux
Place has changed little in the last four centuries. The house
as seen today is almost entirely the work of three members of
the family; Sir Nicholas Prideaux in the 16th century, Edmund
Prideaux in the 18th century and the Rev. Charles Prideaux-Bune
in the early 19th century. It combines traditional Elizabethan
architecture with the 18th century exuberance of Strawberry
Hill Gothic.
