History The manor house is believed to have been built in 1792, added to a much older dwelling thought to date back to the 12th century. Records even indicate that a licence for a private chapel on the site was granted in the 13th century. The Georgian house was constructed by the Roberts family, who were long established in Cornwall, and it was later used occasionally by the Earl of Cork. According to local lore, the funding for its construction came from trade in horses and brandy between Penzance and France. Unsurprisingly, the house is Grade II listed, reflecting its architectural and historical significance.
