1. Burgonet, with ear-pieces. 2. Sword, probably late XVIth or early XVIIth century. Tradition. Associated with Sir Richard Vyvyan, 1st Baronet, Master of the Mint at Exeter, ob. 1655. The Vyvyan family have resided at Trelowarren in the parish since the middle of the XVth century. Hannibal Vyvyan, grandfather of Sir Richard Vyvyan (supra), is buried in St. Dunstan's in the East, London, but the burial-place of his son, Sir Francis Vyvyan, is unknown. There is no documentary evidence in the possession of the family to prove that this armour is part of the achievement of Sir R. Vyvyan. In the possession of Colonel Sir Courtenay Vyvyan, the present baronet, is the inventory of the property of Sir Richard Vyvyan (ob. 1655), but it contains no mention of armour or arms. ST. MELLION.
