History

Cotehele is a medieval house with Tudor additions, situated in the parish of Calstock in the east of Cornwall, England, and now belonging to the National Trust. It is a rambling granite and slate-stone manor house on the banks of the River Tamar that has been little changed over five centuries. It was rebuilt by the Edgcumbe family after Sir Richard Edgcumbe was financially rewarded for supporting Henry Tudor at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
