The jurors agree that the said Bishop and his predecessors had the said liberties, &c. in his manor of Penryn; but as for the manor of Tregear, that he and his predecessors had the same liberties from his and their villains, and not from their free tenants, a tempore quo non extat memoria, sine intermissione. The Bishops of Exeter have been accustomed to farm out their manor on lives to several gentlemen. The present farmers are――Francis Manaton, Esq., William Clowberry, Esq., and Edward Bennet, of Hexworthy, Esq. I now come to treat of the remarkable places of the said manor; and first of the barton Hexworthy. Hexworthy――the field of reeds, corrupted, by pronunciation, from hesk or hesken, a reed or bulrush, and the Saxon worthing, a field. This place has been for three or four descents the seat of the family of Bennet. The present possessor, Edward Bennet, Esq., has been twice married; first, to a daughter of Sir Walter Moyle, of Bake; and, secondly, to a daughter of ―――― Coffin, Esq., of Portledge, in Devonshire. The arms of Bennet are Gu. a Bezant between three demi-lions Arg. Bullsworthy, id est, the Bull’s-field (qu.? Ed.) This was lately the seat, by copy of court roll under the farmers of this manor, of John Coren, Esq., who in the reign of Queen Anne was in the Commission of the Peace, and Deputy-Surveyor of the Duchy of Cornwall, who dying without issue, left his estate to his widow; and on her decease it fell to the three gentlemen above-named, lessees of the manor. Mr. Coren derived himself from the Corens of St. Stephen’s, in Branwell, and gave for his arms, Arg. a millrind between two martlets in fess Sab. He left a part of his estate to a younger brother, now (November 1735) a captain of foot. THE EDITOR. The church of this parish, although gone much into decay, is said to exhibit appearances of venerable antiquity. In it is a monument to the memory of Richard Bennet, counsellor at law, who died in 1619. And another of artificial stone, with the following inscription:―― Underneath lieth the body of Richard Coffin, Esq. and also some of his nearest and dearest relations, who resided for many generations at Hexworthy, in this county. He was the son of Edward Bennet and Honor his wife, daughter of Richard Coffin, of Portledge in Devon, Esq. and Honor his wife, who was daughter of Edmund Prideaux, of Padstow, Esq. in this county. Dying without issue, in him ended the lineal descent of the families of Bennet and Coffin. He was born in the year 1715, and died Sept. 30, 1796. This gentleman gave Hexworthy to one of his relations, the Prideauxes of Padstow. The lessees of the great manor having neglected to renew their holding, it reverted to Doctor George Lavington, Bishop of Exeter fom 1746 to 1762, who made a new lease in favour of his only child, afterwards married to the Rev. Nutcombe Nutcombe, Chancellor of the Cathedral, in whose three daughters or their families it still remains.
