called I cannot guess. This was formerly the seat of Cruffs, on lease from the Arundels.
And next to that is Tregenno, the town of the mouth or entrance, as I believe from the situation of its chief place just by the downs. This manor was for several generations the seat, on lease under the Arundels, of the family of Robins; the last of which, Stephen Robins, resided for the most part in St. Winnow. It has since been the dwelling of Richard Randyl, Gent, whose arms are. Gules, on a cross Argent, three mullets pierced Sable.
Further south lies Levalra, where lived Hugh Kenwood, Gent.; but, on his decease in 1733, the place was sold.
To the north of Tregenno is the manor of Penstruan, that is, the head of the springs. This was a part of Sir Henry Rodrigan's forfeited estate, and came by grant to the Edgecumbes.
I now come to the church of St. Ewe, which consists of a nave, a south aile, a vestry to the north, and a cross aile, At the western end is a square tower, with a steeple on the top, in which are three bells. Some of the windows have painted glass; in one, an angel holds in his hands an escutcheon, charged, Azure, on a fess Sable, three chevronels sideways of the Field. The church plate is very handsome. On the flaggon is inscribed:
Jacobus Robins, de Tregennoe, Arm.
nuper expirans
ex voto legavit.
On the cup: Εις Ευχαρισταν.
In the north-west corner of the churchyard is a rough altar tomb, without an inscription visible at present, but tradition says it had formerly the following:
Here lies Parson Hugh,
The famous Atwell, Rector of St. Ewe.
The church is built low, and at one end of the parish.
