A National Trust is an organization dedicated to preserving the cultural or environmental treasures of a particular geographic region. They generally operate as private non-profit organizations, although some receive considerable support from their national government. The first such organization was the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, which is the National Trust of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, formed in 1895 and operating as a charitable organisation.

John Lawrence built a villa here in the 1750's, with views to the Fal estuary, and an estate covering a promontory jutting into the Fal. After various changes of ownership, Ida Copeland of the Spode Copeland family gave the house and estate to the National Trust in 1955, initially retaining the use of the house.
