The Well House
This medieval house, reputedly the oldest building in Fowey, was built in 1430, the year before Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, before the start of the war of the Roses and sixty years before Columbus discovered America.

When Elizabeth I reigned in glory during the swashbuckling days of Drake, this house was already 100 years old.

The old kitchen is enchanting; fireplace and beams are very little altered from when they were built and some of the original cobbles remain to view.

More recently the premises housed a folk museum, which prior to its official opening, was attended by Daphne du Maurier at a private viewing.
