Prideaux Place is a vast stately home was built on the site of a monastic grange, previously inhabited by the former Barton of the Monks of Bodmin. The house was built by Sir Nicholas Prideaux in the late Tudor period after his family inherited the land in the early part of the sixteenth Century and has been owned and lived in by 14 unbroken generations. Of the house's 46 bedrooms only six are habitable - the rest have been kept just as the American Army left them at the end of WW2 when they stayed there before being dispatched to Omaha Beach on D-Day. Paranormal encounters include a phantom Scullery Boy who is seen in the kitchen and pantry, and witnessed running from one to the other. A 19th Century woman has been spotted sewing in a chair in the morning room, while on the main staircase there have been many sightings of both a green and a grey lady. The green lady is also said to haunt the upstairs landing, the grounds and in a nearby bedroom, and it is thought that she is Honor Fortescue the young wife of Humphrey Prideaux, who threw herself off the balcony at the top of the staircase because she was so distraught at his early death. The Grenville Room is said to carry within it a terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere, and in the upstairs bedroom a guest was convinced that a supernatural dog was growling at him.
