Scorrier House, Scorrier, Cornwall
Tree: AHP
Notes:
Scorrier House built 1778 by John Williams 3rd (1753–1841) first son of Michael Williams 1st (1730–1775) and Susanna Harris (d 1814);
After Michael Williams, John's second son, made fortune from speculating on price of tin in 1845, significantly enlarged Scorrier House, building stately east façade overlooking park; Parts of this enlargement were gutted during fire in 1908, but it was rebuilt in same year with introduction of much teak and concrete as further precautions against fire;
John Williams was described in 1868 as "one of the most extensive and most successful managers of mines, as well as adventurers, the county ever produced"; pioneered many industry innovations, including construction of Great County Adit and Portreath Tramway which was first such railway of its time and now forms Portreath–Devoran Coast to Coast Mineral Tramway Trail.
