History
The manor of Trebartha was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was held by Thurstan from Robert, Count of Mortain. There was half a hide of land and land for 4 ploughs. There were three and a half ploughs, 2 villeins and 6 smallholders. The value of the manor was 15 shillings.[2]
Edward Rodd (1768 – 1842) succeeded to Trebartha Hall in 1836 and in 1870 the house was in the residence of Francis Rodd (his son); it had formerly belonged to the families of Spoure and Trebartha.[3][4] It was demolished in 1949. Trebartha was in the possession of the Trebartha family from the 12th to the 15th-century; from the late 15th-century to 1730 it was held by the Spoure family and from 1730 to 1940 by the Rodd family.[5]
The bird collection of Edward Hearle Rodd which contained at least forty-five cases with 270 specimens, mostly from Cornwall, passed to his nephew Francis R Rodd and all were lost when Trebartha was destroyed by fire in 1949.[6]
