The Great Tithes are held on lease by John Hawkins, esq. having been
purchased by him.
The church stands on an elevated ridge, and is conspicuous, with its
lofty tower, from great distances; both are built with stone common in
that district, which is hard, and capable of forming permanent
structures; but the laminated surface of the stone, and its colour,
approaching to olive, are quite unfavourable to exterior beauty. The
inside of the church consists of two long aisles, extending east and
west, with a short cross aisle on either side; the north cross aisle
being appropriated to the manor of Cargol, and that on the other side
to Tresilian. The old carved work of this church has not been
destroyed, and therefore much decoration may be seen on the seats,
presenting the arms of various families, figures, monograms, &c.
Under the eastern part of the church remains a vault appropriated to
the Arundells of Trerice, and against one of the walls over it is a
handsome monument to Margaret Arundell, wife of John Lord Arundell,
and daughter of Sir John Acland, who died in 1691. From this
connection, and from various settlements and arrangements growing out
of it, Trerice, with a considerable estate annexed, has devolved on
Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, late member for Devonshire.
There is also a monument to the Rev. Henry Pooley, the late vicar, who
departed this life in Sept. 1821, esteemed as a clergyman, as a
gentleman, and in his domestic relations. On his decease Doctor
William Carey, then Bishop of Exeter, bestowed the living on the Rev.
Richard Polwhele, in consideration of his eminence in almost every
department of literature.
MANOR OF CARGOLS.
The leasehold property of this manor, purchased by Mr. Philip Hawkins,
remained in his family till his great grandson, the late Sir
Christopher Hawkins, acquired the freehold in the year 1804 or 5,
under the authority of parliament, for redeeming the Land Tax from the
See of Exeter.
The other portion of the Borlase property, sold to Sir William Scawen,
has not remained so permanently in the possession of any family.
Treludra, and its appendages, had certain incorporeal rights, which
made them objects of peculiar attention. Mr. Scawen, who inherited
this property from the original purchaser, sold it to Mr. Basset,
afterwards Lord de Dunstanville; and about the year 1798 it was
finally sold to Sir Christopher Hawkins, who thus united again the
Borlase property in this neighbourhood.
