Doors 250 – Cotehele doors, Cornwall (part III)
Today I mark my 250th Thursday doors post with the third and final part of photographs of doors from a wonderful National Trust property in East Cornwall, called Cotehele. Incidentally my first Thursday doors post (12 October 2017) was short and sweet – perhaps I need to ‘talk less, smile more’.
This last collection of doors from Cotehele is as eclectic as the last set, with the common thread being that all the doors are reasonably old, some very old, and all of unpainted wood. I think that the house has evolved over centuries, and so the doors and doorways are scattered around the property without any real sense of planning, which adds to the character of this rambling eccentric property. I recommend a trip very highly if you should ever find yourself in the area.
Here we go:
That’s it from East Cornwall for now. I will not be posting Thursday doors next week, instead I will be enjoying the slopes of the SW Alps. See you in a couple of weeks.
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.

These are great, Steve. You have to wonder if they had a plan for any of these, or if it was a, “See what you can come up with…” kind of project. I’m wondering if that curved header was installed like that or broke at some point, but I like the look. This is a place I’d love to visit.

I think that there were so many extensions and different architects and builders over the centuries that there was no coherent plan, which is what makes the place so interesting. Lots of landings and split levels.

Amazing well crafted-to-last wooden doors all of them. The panelled doors were a nice treat, I have not seen those in the real for some time.
Congratulations on your accomplishment and dedication to posting on ThursdayDoors, Scooj. I have a long way to go to catch up.. to that number..LOL.
Safe travels! Enjoy!
