ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS.

GENERAL HISTORY.

P. ix. It is very questionable whether there was any palace at Lostwithiel, erected either by Richard King of the Romans, or his son, Edmund Earl of Cornwall; indeed, more probable that there was not. See p. 203 of the Parochial History.

P. x. The gaol at Launceston still continues, being situated on the west side of the castle: it is small, but has been neatly sitted up. Prisoners are sometimes committed to it from the north and north-east parts of the county; and the prisoners from Bodmin are removed thither previously to taking their trials at the spring assizes. Debtors are confined only at Bodmin.

P. xix. Pinnock and Bradock or Broadoak-downs are now separate; there are some inclosures between them: in the time of the civil wars, it is probable that they were one open spacious down, called indiscriminately by the name of Pinnock or Bradock. Clarendon describes Ruthen's defeat as having taken place on the east side of Bradock-down, near Liskeard. Walker says, that King Charles, marching from Liskeard, encamped his army on the entrance of Pinnock-down, being the same spot where Ruthen was defeated. (fn. n1)

P. xx. l. 5. The Parre is on a creek in Tywardreth-bay.

P. xxii. l. 12. and note. Wadebridge is still corruptly called Warebridge.

P. xxiv. l. 17. Cawland was most probably Cawsand near Plymouth.

P. xxv. The hundred of Draneth is mentioned in a record of the reign of Richard II. (fn. n2) Binnerton, in the parish of Crowan, described as situated in that hundred, is now in the hundred of Penwith. In a record of the reign of Henry VI. (fn. n3), the church of Ruan-Major is spoken of as being in a district called Tyrath, which seems to have been synonymous with Meneage.

P. xxvi. note (b.) The jurisdiction of the town of Padstow belongs to the Archdeacon, and not to the Bishop, as hath been of late years supposed and acted upon. This appears from a deed of composition (now in the registry of the Dean and Chapter at Exeter) for settling the jurisdiction of the archdeaconry, as well as of the whole diocese of Exeter, entered into, on the 20th of March 1616, by all the dignitaries of the see of Exeter. By this deed the Archdeacon has the exclusive right of proving wills of all persons dying within his jurisdiction, "excepting knights, beneficed men, and such as are de robâ episcopi," and granting administrations. Padstow in rure is among the places reserved by this deed to the Bishop's jurisdiction. It is meant (see the last paragraph of note (b.) that previously to the year 1740, or thereabouts, wills were more universally registered at Bodmin: it has since been more common for monied persons to have property in the funds, in which case their effects being in two counties, their wills, as is well known, are registered in Doctors-Commons. It may be observed, that during the Bishop's triennial visitation (the Archdeacon's powers being suspended) wills are proved before the Bishop's officers, and registered in the Consistory Court at Exeter. The Archdeacon's court was removed from Lostwithiel to Bodmin in 1773; it had been before at St. Neots: the courts are held at Bodmin every Friday fortnight. The archdeacon's visitations are held at Launceston, Liskeard, Bodmin, Truro, Helston, and Penzance.

P. xxvii. note (c.) It should have been stated that Wendron, Liskeard, and Probus, are among the best vicarages: Calstock, and some other rectories not mentioned, are more valuable than any of the vicarages, except Menheniot, which is endowed with the great tithes.

P. xxxiv. l.15. The ancient chapel at St. Mawes no longer exists: the present chapel is private property. See p. 153 and 154 of the Parochial History.

P. xxxv. The existence of nunneries at St. Bennet's, Credis, and Hellnoweth, is very uncertain: there was certainly a monastery of some fort at St. Bennet's; and Credis belonged to that monastery, either as a cell or grange. The site of Hellnoweth belonged to St. Michael's Mount.

P. xxxviii. l. 39, 40. Dele "for the convenience of the populous mining district:" Port Isaac is not in the neighbourhood of the mines.

P. lxii. At the end of the second column add, "or Trethake in St. Cleer."

P. lxvi. The Bloyowes had also a capital mansion at Tregwell (we cannot ascertain in what parish), which Ralph Bloyowe had a licence for embattling in the reign of Edward III. (fn. n4)

P. lxxvi. Trefusis has not been inhabited by the present Lord Clinton since his accession to the title: it is now occupied by G. C. Fox, Esq. See also p. lxxxviii.

P. lxxxviii. The lion rampant was certainly the coat of Waunford of Efford, whose heiress brought Efford, through the Durants, to the Arundells. Efford did not belong to the Thurliberes.

P. lxxxix. xc. The name of Trelawney is spelt with an e in the Baronetages: the spelling of Trelawny, as in p. 257, 258, was adopted when we found that it was now so written by the family. — Upon the death of Charles Trelawny, Esq., of Coldrinnick, (the last heir-male of that branch,) in 1764, the name was taken by Henry St. George Darell, Esq., son of William Darell, his mother's younger brother, who, dying without issue, the name of Trelawny was taken, and the estate of Coldrinnick inherited, by Daniel Crabbe, Esq., son of John Crabbe, of Plymouth, by Frances, second daughter of Henry Darell, Esq., of Trewornan, elder brother of the mother of Charles Trelawny above-mentioned. This Daniel Trelawny of Coldrinnick, dying also without issue (in 1795), the name was taken and the estate inherited by Edward Stephens, Esq., a Captain in the Royal Artillery, son of Edward Stephens, of Plymouth, and grandson of the Rev. Edward Stephens, vicar of St. Kew, by Anne, third daughter of Henry Darell, Esq., of Trewornan before-mentioned: the son of the said Edward Trelawny (now a minor) inherits Coldrinnick; but it will be seen by the foregoing statement, that he is not representative in blood of the Coldrinnick branch of the Trelawnys, which appears to be wholly extinct. It appears that he, and not his uncle (the Rev. Darell Stephens, who inherits Trewornan by will), is the representative of the Darells of Trewornan. See p. cii. and 239.

P. xciii. Sir John Morshead is dead, and was succeeded in the title by his son, now Sir Frederick Treise Morshead, Bart.

P. xciv. The eldest sister of Philip Hawkins (the last representative of the Pennans family), married Carlyon of Tregrehan. Thomas Hawkins (father of Sir Christopher, whose father had married one of the other sisters,) inherited Trewithan under the will of Philip Hawkins above-mentioned.

P. c. John Borlase is dead, and succeeded by his son Samuel, a minor.

P. ci. Arthur Burell, Esq. is not known to be the representative of the ancient family of that name: he possesses the estate by virtue of a devise made by the last male heir to a namesake, not known to be related. Burell, therefore, should have been among the extinct families, p. cxxv.

P. cii. Darell should be among families extinct in the male line, p. cxxxi. See the last page.

P. ciii. l. 21 and 26. Bokarne is now spelt Boscarne.

P. civ. The Rev. Edward Giddy died in the month of March 1814, and was succeeded by his son, Davies Giddy, Esq., M.P. See also p. clxxvii. Francis Glanville, Esq. of Catchfrench, should have been mentioned as the present representative of the Glanville family. Thomas Grylls, Esq., died in December 1813. See also p. 19, 63, and 76 of the Parochial History.

P. cv. The present representative of the Hals family spells his name Halse. P. cv. l. 30., and cxxi. l. 29, read "William Arundell Harris, Esq., of Lifton in Devon."

P. cvii. The Rev. John Hoblyn, of Padstow, died in May, 1813: his son, the Rev. Richard Hoblyn, is now representative of the Trewhela branch.

P. cxvii. Trevardreva is now in the occupation of Charles Scott, Esq., Mr. Trewren's son-in-law.

P. cxviii. Captain Woolridge has removed to Bosvigo-house, in the parish of Kenwyn.

P. cxix. l. penult. Bealinge or Billing.

P. cxx. The animal borne by Sir John Arundell in his coat armour, between the swallows, was a wolf, the bearing of Trembleigh, whose heiress, his ancestor, married. See a cut of this coat of Arundell, p. lxxix.

P. cxxi. l. 5, read "A younger branch of the Arundells of Trerice." Arwenick is so spelt in most pedigrees; but in the Killigrew deeds it is written Arwenack.

P. cxxii. There seems to be an error in the heraldic accounts, which state that Beare married a coheiress of Serjeaux: no such match appears in the record of the inquisition, taken after the death of Sir Richard Serjeaux. See p. cl.

P. cxxvii. Champernowne is the spelling now used by the present branches of the ancient family treated of in these pages: this spelling has been adopted in the latter part of this volume.

P. cxxxiv. The Rev. R. G. Grylls is representative of the Glynns of Wendron, through his mother, who was sister of Thomas Glynn, Esq., the last male heir.

P. cxxxix. Add Keverell to the heiresses married by Langdon. See p. cxxxviii.

P. cxliii. Nansperian must have married the heiress of Tregender, and Tregender the heiress of Gurlyn. See p. clxvii. and p. 93 of the Parochial History.

P. cxlvii. Sir William Gordon Cuming Gordon, Bart., is representative of the Praeds in the female line, through the Penroses. The Pypers of Tresmarrow bore for their arms—a chevron between three shovelers.

P. cxlix. The Rev. William Sandys purchased Cant of the heir-male of this family, resident in Ireland.

P. clxxv—clxxviii. Gentlemen's Seats. — Mr. Grylls and Mr. Wymond are dead; Bosahan and St. Cadix are now the seats of their widows: John Borlase, Esq., is also dead, and has left a son, who is a minor. Commodore Penrose is now a Rear-Admiral: Harwood has been sold to W. L. Salusbury Trelawny, Esq. Mrs. J. C. Wollacombe, of Langford-hill, is dead: it is now the seat of Thomas Hole, Esq. The Rev. William Robinson has left Nansloe. Pennare is now the seat of Captain Barrington Reynolds, of the Royal Navy. John Lemon, Esq., is dead: Polvellan is now the property of John Buller, Esq., of Morval. John James, Esq., of Rosemundy, has been some time dead. Mr. Charles Peter was drowned in the Padstow river, March 30, 1814. Captain Todd has left Cornwall; and Trenarth is now occupied as a farm-house. Mrs. Arminel Inch is dead; Treworgy is occupied by her surviving sister, Mrs. Ann Hodge. — Add to the seats, Bosvigo in Kenwyn, now occupied by Captain James Woolridge of the Royal Navy; Burncoose in Gwennap, by Michael Williams, Esq.; Perran-wharf, Mr. — Fox; and Trevince in Gwennap, occupied by John Williams, Jun. Esq.

P. clxxxi. The moors extend from near Blisland church on the west, to near Northill church on the east, about 10 miles; and from near Davidstow church on the north, to near St. Neot church on the south, about 12 miles, running into the four hundreds of Lesnewth, East, West, and Trigg, and including, besides the whole of Temple, the greater part of 12 parishes, viz. Davidstow, St. Cleather, Alternon, Northill, Linkinhorne, St. Cleer, St. Neot, Warleggan, Cardinham, Blisland, St. Breward alias Simonward, and Advent. These moors abound with picturesque hills, and tors composed of immense masses of granite (fn. n5) : they are much resorted to for hare-hunting in the spring, the ground being dry, and the hares remarkably strong: the small rivers on the moors abound with the black trout. The moors are very capable of agricultural improvement.

P. clxxxii. The sea has considerably encroached on the coast in the hundreds of Stratton and Lesnewth, within the last 50 years, particularly near Budeharbour, where the sand-hills are rapidly lessening, being carried off by the waves. (fn. n6)

P. cxc. An act was passed in the year 1774, for making a navigable canal from Bude-harbour to the river Tamar, in the parish of Calstock; but no part of it has as yet been made. The Tamar manure navigation, which skirts the county, was to have been brought on as far as Horse-bridge, in Stoke-Climsland. In the year 1773, an act of parliament was passed for making a canal from MawganPorth through the several parishes of Mawgan, St. Columb Major, Little-Colan, and St. Columb-Minor, to Lower St. Columb Porth. This canal was begun, but the work was abandoned after the death of Mr. Edyvean, the projector and undertaker, and what had been dug has for the most part been filled up and levelled.

P. cxciii. Passing from Camelford to Bodmin, the churches of Advent, &c. are on the left; those of Michaelstow and St. Teath on the right.

P. cc. Woodcocks abound in the vallies of Cornwall, particularly in the parish of Whitstone. See p. 326 of the Parochial History.

P. ccix. The lease of copper to Mr. Williams and others, is to take place after the expiration of a term granted to Sir William Lemon, Bart. The manors of Calstock, Restormell, Penlyne, and Penkneth, are not included in the lease, nor that of Tywarnhaile, of which Mr. Carpenter of Moditonham has a separate lease. Edward Smith, Esq., who is one of the lessees with Mr. Williams, &c. has oneeighth of the copper dues of Tywarnhaile, as appears by an advertisement from that gentleman, in the Cornwall Gazette, May 7, 1814.

— The right of raising silver in the mine of Wheal Duchy, in the manor of Calstock, was granted to John Williams, Esq., R. William Fox, Esq., and others, for 31 years, in 1810; other silver lodes having been discovered by Mr. Williams, in the manor of Calstock, in the following year. A lease of the right of searching for silver, in the whole of the manor of Calstock, was granted by His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, as Duke of Cornwall, for the same term, in the month of August 1811, to Messrs. Williams and Fox, in conjunction with Benjamin Tucker, Esq., Surveyor-General of the Duchy. Wheal Duchy mine promises considerable profit to the adventurers, although the silver as yet raised (about 5000l. worth) has not covered the expences attendant on the undertaking in its early stages. (fn. n7)

P. ccxiii. Manufactures. — There are gunpowder-mills now in Cosawes wood, near Penryn, built by Mr. Gill of Penryn, about 1810, which make about 2000 barrels annually; and others lately erected in the parish of Stithians, which make from 800 to 1000 barrels. The annual consumption of gunpowder in Cornwall (chiefly for mining) is calculated at 4000 barrels. Since the establishment of Mr. Gill's mills, the price of gunpowder, which was before wholly imported from London, has been reduced from 6l. 10s. to 5l. per hundred. There is an iron-foundery at Perran cove, in the parish of Milor; near Kennall wood, in the parish of Stithians, a paper-mill belonging to Mr. Tucker, and another at Ponsneuth, in the same parish, belonging to Mr. Rowe: there is a paper-mill also in the parish of Liskeard. A sail-cloth manufactory was established at Gluvias, upon a large scale, about 1807, by Mr. Eliot, but has been discontinued. At Perran-mill is an arsenic manufactory (fn. n8); and at Penryn, manufactories of mustard and snuff. (fn. n9)

P. ccxiv. The effigy of a crusader, in stone, has lately been discovered, by the removal of a pannel, in a pew of Botus-Fleming church.

PAROCHIAL HISTORY.

In the foregoing parochial account we had some difficulty, with respect to the orthography of the names of villages, &c., as we have frequently found persons, whose authorities we might suppose equally good, spelling the same names differently. We have generally, wherever there has been a doubt, adopted Martyn's spelling wholly, or given it with an alias. With respect to manors and bartons, we have found many estates of the latter description, which, in all ancient records, are described as manors, but have long ceased to be deemed such; their manerial rights, most probably, having been alienated, or lost by long disuse. With respect to the true definition of a barton, a term in general use in the two western counties of Cornwall and Devon, the best informed persons differ in their opinion; some suppose it to be strictly confined to the demesne lands, and mansionhouse of a manor; others that it is the principal farm or grange of a manor with a house, but not the manor-house; whilst others again give it a greater latitude, and suppose it to extend to all large farms, with houses and homesteads; all smaller farms being called tenements. According to the first sense, every real barton, if not now esteemed a manor, must formerly have been possessed of manerial rights. It has been our plan and intention, for the obvious reason of compressing our work into a moderate compass, to treat only of manors and bartons, with the exception of such smaller tenements as have been the residence of Gentlemen's families; in some instances, the mention of estates, not so circumstanced, has probably, without our designing it, been introduced. In the folgoing appendix, besides giving such additional information as we have obtained since the work has been printed off, we have endeavoured to correct such errors as have arisen either from inadvertency or misinformation, and to note such changes as have taken place, during the length of time which has elapsed since we began our collections, and which the nature of the work and other circumstances have rendered unavoidable. In this we have been indebted for much assistance to Mr. John Wallis, Jun. of Bodmin, whose kind services have been already acknowledged; to Mr. John Edwards of Truro, Mr. George John of Penzance, Mr. G. B. Kingdon of Stratton, Mr. E. Coode, Jun. of St. Austell, Mr. John Borlase of Helston, and other professional gentlemen.

Before the passing of the act in 1778, the county bridewell, (a building near the church, now used as a brewery,) and the sheriffs' ward, were at Bodmin: County meetings, except such as are mentioned under Lostwithiel, are held at Bodmin: the general agricultural meeting is held there on the Tuesday before Whitsunday. A large work-house was built in 1756, on some of the Friery lands now belonging to the corporation, at the expence of Sir William Irby, bart., afterwards Lord Boston, then one of the representatives of the borough. —P. 34.

There is a school for reading, writing, and arithmetic, at the work-house; the master of which has a salary of 10l. per annum from the corporation. The Wesleyan methodists have a Sunday school for about 200 children. The ruins of the chapel (fn. n10) of St. Lawrence's hospital are now used as a stable: nearly facing this is an old building belonging to the hospital, said to have been erected for the purpose of a market-house: an inscription on the front commemorates Richard Carter of St. Columb, merchant, as having given 10l. to the hospital, which was expended in the making of this building in 1586. The hospital of St. Anthony stood in chapel-lane: the buildings have been pulled down within memory: the site now belongs to Mr. Bray by purchase from the corporation, under the landtax redemption act.

The description of "large extent comprising the whole of Roughtor and the adjoining moors" should be applied to the manor of Hametethy, and it would be more correct to say, a considerable part of the adjoining moors. Lank, in this parish, has long been the property and residence of a branch of the Billing family, by whose descendant, (a farmer,) it is now possessed. John Wallis, Esq. is lessee of the great tithes under the church of Exeter.

John Russell, has lately been purchased by Thomas Wallis, Esq.; it is at present unoccupied: Hengeston-hill is in this parish.

Camborne.

—Mr. Stackhouse's manor, spoken of in this page, is Treslothan or Trelothan. In the early part of the 17th century, it was in moieties between the families of Prideaux and Arundell; one moiety was purchased by Alexander Thomas, alias Pendarves, of Jonathan Prideaux, Esq., in 1619; the other was acquired by marriage about ten years afterwards: there are the remains of a chapel upon this estate. — P. 54. Higher-Rosewarne is the seat of William Harris, Esq.

Cardinham.

—P. 57. The four sisters of Lord Dinham married Sir John Carew, John Lord Zouch of Harringworth, Sir Thomas Arundell, and Sir Fulke Fitz-warren. The Carews appear to have sold their share of the Cardinham estate to the Comptons, (ancestors of the Marquis of Northampton) from whom it passed to the Arundells in 1573. Edward Lord Zouch sold his share of this estate in 1577 for 500l. to William Billing of Cardinham, who, the next year, conveyed it to Sir John Arundell. On the death of the last Bourchier, Earl of Bath, (heir of the Fitz-warrens), a fourth of this estate was divided between his daughters Lady Dorothy Grey, and Anne, Countess of Middlesex. The Earl of Stamford, son of the former, sold his share of this fourth in 1686, to James Grove, Esq., afterwards serjeant-at-law; the latter, in 1707, conveyed it to Sir Richard Billing, who had married the heiress of Arundell. Sir Bourchier Wrey, Bart., who inherited the other moiety of the Bourchier property, sold his share of the Cardinham estate, with the exception of certain lands, to Dennis Glynn, Esq., whose descendant, E. J. Glynn, Esq., is now possessed of the whole of the manor of Cardinham, except the lands above-mentioned.

"The said Sir John Arundell, says Holinshed, "lost not only his life, but all his furniture and apparell for hys body, which was very sumptuous, so that it was thought to surmount the apparell of any King; for he had two and fiftie new sutes of apparell of cloth of golde or tiffew, as was reported, all the which, together with his horses and geldings, amounting to the valew of ten thousand marks, was lost in the fee. (fn. n11) " P. 65. The advowson has been sold to the Rev. George Moore of Garlinnick.
