Catalogue description TRENOWTH, IN PROBUS (CORNW.)

Trenowth (also Trenewith or Trenowyth) manor was held by the Beaupré family in the 13th century.[Inf. from the Revd. W. M. M. Picken, by personal correspondence.] Isabel daughter and heir of John de Beaupré married John Longland (d. 1379-80), and one of their three daughters and coheirs[VCH Wilts. viii. 101.] was apparently Joan, wife of Sir Robert Yelverton. The Yelvertons sold their portion of Kelynach, and possibly Trenowth with it, to Sir William Hankeford,[Cornwall Fines, 1377-1461, 799.] whose great-granddaughter and eventual coheir Anne (d. 1485) married Thomas Butler (d. 1515). Trewithgy was a manor which passed from the Wolvedons to the Tregians but since, in the second charter below, Robert Wolvedon is acting only as steward of the two manors, they were probably members of another estate.
