The Old Vicarage |
| The old Vicarage is "old". Parts of the building date back to the reign of Elizabeth the first. The facade that greets you was added as a 'modern' extension in 1834, to provide more room for the then incumbent's large household, which included his 10 children. The "capital (£338)" for the work was raised by means of a mortgage agreement between the vicar, the Diocese of Exeter and the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty. |

 | The Old Vicarage ceased to be the official home of the clergy attached to Mullion's Parish Church, in 1981 when a new vicarage was purchased a few hundred yards further down Nansmellyon Road. According to local historians, The Old Vicarage is at least third in a succession of previous vicarages. The other two houses still exist, and are now private dwellings. It is known that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stayed at The Old Vicarage and it is thought to have provided the basis for the vicarage in the Sherlock Holmes story. The Devil's Foot. |
| Since Jacqui and her family took over the Old Vicarage in 1996, she has decorated and furnished their home in her own distinctive style. This is reflected in the individual décor, unique to each of the guest bedrooms. With the exception of Room 3 the rooms all have shower facilities as well as a bath. The guest bedrooms are at the front of the house, facing west. Views of the sea towards Penzance, can be seen in the distance. There is plenty of off road parking in the drive. |
