Trewarthenick Estate

The Trewarthenick Estate is a Grade II listed manor house and estate located in the hamlet of Trewarthenick near Tregony in Cornwall, England, UK.

The Gregor family had owned land in Trewarthenick from 1640, and in c. 1686 commissioned a country house. With grounds remodelled by Humphry Repton in c. 1792, it was then extended with flanking wings by Henry Harrison of London in 1831. William Gregor who discovered Manaccanite in 1790, and the MP Francis Gregor were both born and raised in the property. After post-World War II renovation, the flanking wings were removed in 1950.[1]

In 2008, the property was bought for £9 million by businessman Marcus Evans,[2] then consisting of an estate covering some 1737 acres, with a 2.5 miles frontage on the River Fal.[3] He has since invested additional funds in restoring the house and estate.
