Ashcroft Manor

In 1862 C.F. and H.P. Cornwall settled here and developed Ashcroft Manor. The ranch with its grist and saw mills supplied Cariboo miners. The manor house was destroyed by fire in 1943, but the road house survives. Clement Cornwall became one of British Columbia's first senators after confederation with Canada in 1871, and Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia in 1881.
