Trewan Hall (pronounced Trew-an) is an historic manor and campsite, in the parish of St Columb Major, Cornwall, England, UK. The surviving Jacobean style manor house is located one mile north of the town. The house with its campsite grounds and garden has been privately owned by its current owners since 1960. Although the site is not open to the public, it holds annual open days as part of the National Gardens Scheme. It was the ancestral home of the Vivian family until it was sold in 1920.

The Manor House

The existing main house dates from circa 1633, and was built by the Vivian family as a replacement for the former manor house at Trenoweth, [1] a short distance from Trewan. According to English Heritage, the original house with attached garden walls are of 15th century origins, with later alterations. Eighteenth century alterations and restoration of circa 1870 were made by William White.[2]

The Camp site

There is a privately owned Camping and Caravan Club site in the grounds
