The village of Calstock is situated close to the side of the river, and here is a regular ferry to Beer Alston, in Devonshire. About three miles from hence, is _Pentillie Castle_, the seat of John Tillie Coryton, Esq. which was erected a few years ago, from designs by Wilkins, on the site of an old family mansion. It is a very beautiful Gothic structure, with a majestic portico on the south side, surmounted with pinnacles, and being built on a bold eminence rising abruptly from the river Tamar, it really possesses a commanding and dignified appearance. The interior contains a number of spacious apartments finished in a handsome and costly manner. The approach to the house is embellished with a neat Gothic _Lodge_, on the road leading to Saltash; and the grounds are enriched with a variety of beautiful plantations. In the grounds is a _Tower_ or _Sepulchral Building_, erected for Sir James Tillie, whose interment here has given rise to a tale, that being of Atheistical principles, he had directed himself to be placed after his death, in a chair therein, with bottles, glasses, &c. to perpetuate his derision of a future existence. The fact however, of his being buried in a coffin, was proved a few years ago; and from his will, it is clear that he died in the “hope of a glorious immortality.” From hence to Saltash, the distance is six miles, and about a mile and a half to the left, in the church of the village of Landulph, is the following remarkable inscription: Here lyeth the body of Theodore Paleologus of Pesaro in Itale, descended from the imperyall Lyne of the last Christian Emperors of Greece Being the sonne of Camilio, the sonne of Prosper the sonne of Theodoro, ye sonne of John, the sonne of Thomas, the second brother to Constantine Paleologus that rayned in Constantinople, until Subdued by the Turks, who married with Mary the daughter of William Balls of Hadley in Suffolke Gent. and had issue five children, Theodore, John, Ferdinando, Maria and Dorothy, and departed this lyfe at Clifton the 21st of January 1636. There is also a large tomb in the chancel, with a handsome marble slab to the memory of Sir Nicholas Lower and his lady. The _Parsonage House_ has been greatly improved, and commands a beautiful prospect of the river and Saltash. It contains a good library, and a few paintings by some of the antient masters. Much praise is due to the present incumbent, the Rev. F. V. I. Arundell, for having raised an embankment round the house, and for bringing the grounds into a high state of cultivation, and for improving the plantations. About two miles from hence, in the parish of BOTUS FLEMING, is _Moditonham_, the seat of Charles Carpenter, Esq. a commodious modern building, most delightfully situated, and commanding some extensive views of the surrounding country.
