Boskenna

Boskenna is an early medieval settlement and large 17th-century manor house (formerly with associated farms and cottages) in the civil parish of St Buryan, west Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

The house was added to extensively in 1888 incorporating some replications of 17th-century features and some original 17th-century ones (though not all in situ) in the exterior.

Inside the 17th-century parlour with its fine ribbed plaster ceiling and the 17th-century open-well stair have been retained.

[6] The estate was sold in 1957, at which time it consisted of seven farms, five market gardens and a manor house.

[7] English author Mary Wesley stayed at Boskenna with the Paynter family for a period of time and later used it as a backdrop in her novels The Camomile Lawn, Not That Sort of Girl, A Dubious Legacy and Part of the Furniture.
