Clearly the owners of Mount Edgcumbe were in receipt of plenty of royal favour. :)Rachel Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058142939706153724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-82863033060176445892014-08-21T21:39:19.030+01:002014-08-21T21:39:19.030+01:00May I point out, if you were not aware [and if you...May I point out, if you were not aware [and if you were, my apologies] that although the crenellations on the building are plainly ornamental, when it was built a licence to crenellate was still required AND cost a small fortune as well as needing the favour of the king. Those decorative crinkle-crankles are serious signs of political favour and conspicuous consumption. Fascinating post as your posts always are.

It was great to revisit the research I did on the estate and park. Plus, I learned something new of the earl. Regina Jeffershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641809115576257122noreply@blogger.com
