This is the house where Admiral Sir Isaac Pellew was born. He was the brother of the
great Edward Pellew, and it was he who commanded the 'Conquerer' at the battle of
Trafalgar and accepted the surrender of the French Admiral Villeneuve. This house
was later known as Church House, and the outbuildings used as Soup Kitchens in times
of hardship.
Quoted from THE STORY OF FLUSHING CORNWALL by Ursula Redwood (Lady Redwood).
