Comments
Scorrier House, położony w pobliżu miejscowości Scorrier w Kornwalii, to wiejski dom i siedziba rodziny Williamsów. Podczas niedoboru krajowej waluty na początku XIX wieku, John Williams III (1753-1841) podjął inicjatywę płacenia swoim pracownikom własną kornwalijską walutą, wybijaną w miedzi z jego własnych kopalni.
