Archway and doors. Cotehele, Cornwall, August 2023

Thursday doors – 18 January 2024, Cotehele, Cornwall

Doors 249 – Cotehele doors, Cornwall (part II)

I am in London today running a workshop, so prepared this post in haste (post haste – geddit?) last night, hence the brevity.

These doors are a part II from a visit my family made to Cotehele, a National Trust property just outside Plymouth, back in August last year. This week we go from outside the property to look at some of the interior doors, which represent the most eclectic collection of doors I have found anywhere in one place. There will be more to follow next time.

If you should ever find yourself in the Plymouth area, then I would thoroughly recommend a trip to this incredible place. More interior doors to come next time, until then, may I wish you a great weekend.

If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.
