About four miles to the left of the road to Redruth, and the same distance north-west of that town, is _Tehiddy Park_, the seat of the Right Hon. Lord de Dunstanville, which forms a noble feature in this part of the county. It is a handsome edifice, chiefly built of Cornish free-stone, with detached wings at the angles, and erected in the early part of last century. It is embellished with a number of fine paintings, of which the following are most worthy of notice. _King John signing Magna Charta._—Miller. _The Cascade of Terni_, and another of the _Cascatellis of Tivoli_, with _Mecœnuskilla_.—More. _The Lake of Nirni._—Dulancy. _The Death of Lucretia_, & a _Venus and Cupid_.—Gavin Hamilton. _The Three Graces._—Rubens. _A Philosopher with a skull in his hand._—Rembrant. _A Nativity_, and a _Flight into Egypt_.—G. Bassan. _Herodias, with the Head of John the Baptist._—Bonomi de Ferrari. _Sketch of our Saviour appearing to St. Bruno._—Lanfrane. A small picture of a _Nun_.—Carlo Dolcii. _A Battle Piece._—Burgognon. _Portrait of a Venetian Senator._—Pordenon. A whole-length _Portrait of Gen. Massey_.—Vandyke. Ditto _of Sir Francis Basset_, Vice-Admiral of Cornwall.—Ditto. _Chief Justice Keybridge and his Wife._—Peter Lely. _Lady Masters, aged 74_, sister to Sir Francis Basset.—Godfrey Kneller. _The late Sir John St. Aubyn and the late Francis Basset_, Esq.—Hudson. _Lord de Dunstanville and his Lady._—Gainsborough. _Ditto_, when about 18 years of age, in a vandyke dress.—Sir Joshua Reynolds. _Sir John St. Aubyn._—Ditto. _John Prideux Basset._—Ramsey. The extent of Tehiddy Park amounts to about 700 acres, and the grounds have been much improved and beautified by extensive plantations, since the present nobleman succeeded to this estate. Two miles south of Tehiddy, and within the same distance of Redruth, is _Carn-bre’ Hill_, a very interesting spot, and considered by Borlase, (from the numerous remains of cromlechs, basons, circles, and kairs, in its vicinity) to have been the principal seat of Druidical worship in this neighbourhood. Notwithstanding many other writers have coincided in this opinion, yet it is evident from the observations of one of the most learned Antiquarians, that these remains _do not exhibit a complete system of Druidical worship_, and _Dr. Maton_ also observes, “these rocks exhibit awful vestiges of convulsions, and the immense detached masses of granite, which appear about to roll down their declivities, awaken sublime ideas in the mind of a spectator.” Neither is there any appearance of systematic designs in the remains alluded to.
