Cornwall in Conflict: A House Trail at Antony

Step back in time at Antony and delve into its rich history of war and conflict with our
object-in-focus house trail: "Cornwall in Conflict."

Pick up an information booklet and embark on a journey through the house,
uncovering the compelling stories behind some of the artefacts and militaria that
are part of the Antony collection.

From the English Civil War to the Second World War, the Carews of Antony have been
involved in both local and international conflicts. This unique trail allows you to
learn more about these clashes, read their war stories, and discover the collection of
militaria that Antony holds.
