Kingsand Institute
The Institute in Kingsand was built in 1911 to celebrate the coronation of King George V - its clock tower being a famous local landmark.
The twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand (notorious for smuggling) merge with one another, but historically Kingsand was in Devon, while Cawsand was in Cornwall. On the old county boundary between the two villages there is a house called Devon Corn, which still has the marker on the front of the house. In 1844 however the boundary was redrawn along the Tamar and Kingsand became part of Cornwall.
