Recently this summer, due to extreme boredom, I have been scratching in little histories in a notebook. One of these histories has to do with the Lord of Mouthvan, a peer to a Cornish village. Here is the home of his Lordship: Gordon Hall Click on image for larger Gordon Hall was built in 1574 by Lord Cecil Gordon, 40th Lord Mouthvan. It was built over the abode of the 1st Lord Mouthvan, Corwin Gordius. Commissioned for the build was the famous architect Robert Adams. Adams designed the hall as a smaller stately home, with three bedrooms, a library, and a dining room. The first stone was laid down by Lord Mouthvan on 8 April, 1574. Building of the home went from April to December of 1574, and the home was dedicated on Christmas Day, 1574. Currently living in the home is Benjamin Charles Gordon-Stalwart, 51st Lord Mouthvan, Lady Anna Stanton-Gordon-Stalwart, and former Colonel Sir James Stanton.

Each of the bedrooms are pretty much the same, with a bed, table, and lamp.

Please feel free to comment, and I would like a few questions, too. Always entertaining, always inspiring, always:
