This building was Bishop Phillpott’s Library in the 19^th century. Phillpott was Bishop of Exeter at a time when Cornwall was part of the Diocese of Exeter. That was before the foundation of Truro Cathedral and before Cornwall had its own bishop. it was built by a green with grass and trees. The place was very pleasant, next to the river. The river is still here (almost - there is a boat on it), but where is the green? It’s gone, buried by a bus station. There is still a road, called Green Street.
