Pendavy was inhabited by Mr. Ustick, the son or successor of Mr.
Richard Ustick, who made the purchase. This gentleman married
Catherine Trewren, daughter of the Rev. Richard Trewren, of
Trewardreva, Rector of Withyell, and Catherine Davies, of St. Earth.
Mr. Ustick parted with Pendavy from a cause similar to that which
induced the former proprietor to sell it; and his widow, left without
a family, or much provision, resided at Padstow till her decease in
1791. Pendavy now belongs to Sir William Molesworth.
Crowan was given by the will of Mrs. Damaris Kirkham to her first
cousin, the Rev. Henry Hawkins Tremayne, and it is now the property of
his son, John Hearle Tremayne, Esq.
The church of this parish is situated in a manner very like to that of
St. Earth, on the river Hayle.
Egles-hayle measures 4,250 statute acres.

GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.
This parish lies parallel with that of St. Breock, on the opposite
side of the river Camel, and is composed of similar rocks.
Present Vicar, the Rev. Richard Corey, collated by the Bishop of
Exeter in 1804.
[41] But whether in the first or last way who shall tell?
EGLES-KERRY.
HALS.
Is situate in the hundred of East, and hath upon the north North
Petherwin; east, St. Thomas; south, Trewenn; west, St. Cleather. In
the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester, 1294,
Capella de Egleskerry in Decanatu de Major Trigshire xl_l._; after
which time, but before the statute of Richard the Second against the
total impropriation of vicarages, it was, by its patron and endower,
the Prior of Launceston, alias St. Stephen’s, wholly impropriated; so
that it is not named in Wolsey’s Inquisition, 1521, and I take it
Tremayne vicarage was then as a daughter church consolidated into it
by the said Prior: whereby it is only a lectureship, the Vicar
subsisting on a small stipend.
