#porteliothouse

The cosy morning room at Port Eliot. By all accounts the favourite room of Perry Eliot the late 10th Earl of St Germans. I found it to be charming and inviting. A proper family room that has been well lived in. I’d qhave happily stayed there all day in front of the fire. What was your favourite room in Port Eliot???#porteliot #porteliotestate #porteliothouse #porteliotfestival #stgermans #cornwall #aristocrat #aristocracy #aristocratic #gentry #landedgentry #noble #nobility #eccentric #gent #theeccentricgent #mansion #statelyhome #lordeliot #lordstgermans #earl #earlofstgermans https://www.instagram.com/p/BvBtpeOg-af/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3z3c37wr1l2z

Back in the summer of last year I spent some time in Cornwall. What I was there I visited Port Eliot. A stately Home in the village of St Germans near Looe. Port Eliot is the ancestral home of the Earls of St Germans. Peregrine Eliot was the 10th Earl of St Germans and a flamboyant and eccentric character who put Port Eliot on the map. Here is Lord St German obituary, as you can see he was quite a character. #confessionsofanundertaker #porteliot #porteliotfestival #porteliothouse #porteliotestate #obituary #aristocrat #aristocracy #noble #nobility #gentry #landedgentry #cornwall #looe #stgermans #influencer #deathpositive #funeralservice #undertaker #earlofstgermans #lordeliot #lordstgermans #statelyhome (at Port Eliot House & Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwmNntgPwa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=arwg8o88xx7h
