GV II

Coinage Hall, now house; formerly the workshop of the Stannary Exchequer. Probably
late C13 or C14, with later alterations and C20 conversion to house. Slatestone
rubble with granite and Pentewan stone dressings. Asbestos slate roof with gable
ends.
The building is the remains of a 2-storey range, now reduced to one storey, which
probably extended further to the east, to Quay Sreet, but has been truncated by a
taller building on the street frontage.
The north front has central pointed arched chamfered doorway in Pentewan stone, with
C20 double doors; to right, 2 windows with granite cills and tall opening with C20
French window inserted, granite quoins to all openings. To left, 2 tall openings,
with the lower part blocked and C20 windows inserted, also with dressed granite
masonry between. The tall openings appear to have lost their original heads.
Interior Much altered, retains one tie-beam resting on the wall tops to left end,
probably re-sited; the left end wall appears to be a later insertion.
This building was part of the Duchy Palace group.
