Dowsing an Evolving Estate
Pentillie Castle through the ages
As the Buddha is once reputed to have said ‘The only thing in life that can be guaranteed is change’. The house that has become Pentillie Castle is a classic example of the genre of the family residence in transition.
On an unexpectedly warm, dry Sunday morning in the Tamar Valley, a select group dowsers from Devon and Cornwall were given a very warm welcome by the current owners of Pentillie, Ted Coryton and his family. We were provided with some informative maps; we were asked to investigate some unresolved issues - and, in time-honoured fashion, the entourage set off in all directions.
