Domesday manor, held wrongfully by Count of Mortain who had taken it from the church. In 1150 King Stephen gave the Knights Templars the Manor of Trebeigh together with Temple on Bodmin Moor, forming the Preceptory of Trebeigh. The Preceptory was given the advowson of the parish church of St Ive. In 1312 the Knights Hopitallers became the new owners. Accounts found in Malta for the Hospitallers of St Ive in 1338 record dovecotes, honey and the prices of animals and grain. Dissolved in c1534 but restored again in 1557 by Queen Mary. In 1573 the manor was granted to Henry Wilbye and George Blyke. John Wrey then acquired Trebeigh making it the chief residence of the Wrey family until the mid C17. Under the Earl of Moreton, and his successors the manor enjoyed almost royal privileges with its own court Leet with Stewart, bailiff and prison bailiff and prison. Ed. J.
