Context
Scorrier House, located near the village of Scorrier, Cornwall, is a country house and the seat of the Williams family. During a national currency shortage in the early 19th century, John Williams III (1753–1841) took the initiative to pay his workers in his own Cornish currency, struck in copper from his own mines.
