Trewarthenick Estate
The Trewarthenick Estate is a Grade2 listed manor house and estate located in the hamlet of Trewarthenick, Cornwall, England.
The Gregor family had owned land in Trewarthenick from 1640, and in circa 1686 commissioned a country house. With grounds remodelled by Humphry Repton in circa 1792, it was then extended with flanking wings by Henry Harrison of London in 1831. William Gregor who discovered Manaccanite in 1790, and the MP Francis Gregor were both born and raised in the property. After post-World War II renovation, the flanking wings were removed in 1950.[1]
In 2008, the property was bought for £9 million by businessman Marcus Evans,[2] then consisting of an estate covering some 1737 acres, with a 2.5 miles frontage on the River Fal.[3] He has since invested additional funds in the house and estates restoration.
