History :
Founded by Rev. William Everest, the Chaplain of Bodmin Jail and built in 1864 on land donated by Thomas James Agar-Robartes, 1st Baron of Lanhydrock, the house was designed by George Edmund Street, an eminent architect of his day.
The house, standing on a hill overlooking Lostwithiel, a gun site during the Civil War battle at Restormel Castle in 1644, was first known as St Faith's House of Mercy. A Church of England order of nuns from St Mary's, Wantage ran the house as a refuge for 'wayward girls' who were put to work running a laundry serving the local estates of Lanhydrock and Boconnoc.
The Rectory, forming the west wing, was added in 1875. In 1952 the house was purchased by the Youth Hostel Association who ran it as a hostel until 1971. Reference to St Faith's House of Mercy can be found locally at the churches of St Winnow and St Nectan's and in the National Trust museum at Lanhydrock.
