Fowey Hall
Fowey Hall was originally built in 1892 as a country house for Charles Hanson, the first Baronet of Fowey who went on to become Sheriff and, later, Lord Mayor of London. Kenneth Grahame, author of Wind in the Willows, spent much time in Fowey and the building is thought to be part of the inspiration for Toad Hall. It later became a hotel, and still is. Residents have included the well-known Cornish author Daphne du Maurier and it was the venue for the marriage of Dawn French to Mark Bignell.
