Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording at a group of redundant agricultural buildings at Pendrea Farm, St. Buryan, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in order to make a record of the buildings and their features prior to conversion to residential use. The farm at Pendrea is first documented in the 10th century AD when it appears in the foundation charter of the Church at St Buryan. During the medieval period it was the seat of the Pendrea family, passing by marriage to the family of Noy in the late 15th century. The most notable of that line was William Noy (b.1577-d.1634), MP and Attorney General to Charles I (1631-34). Hals states he intended to build a notable dwelling at Pendrea but was prevented from doing so by his early death. The estate was sold in the later 17th century to Mr Christopher Davis, Gent. and thence to the Tonkin family; in 1840 the farm was owned by the Rev. Uriah Tonkin. |
