Danvers his moiety continued in his family till Queen Elizabeth’s
time, when Sir John Danvers of Dantesey in Wiltshire, knight,
dismembered and sold it in several parcels:――viz. 18 Elizabeth, 1577,
one half of a tenement (in which is St. Edmund’s chapel, and computed
at one sixth of the whole township of Lambourn,) to John Trevellans,
alias Nicholas, alias Williams; whose son, Nicholas Williams, alias
Trevellans, sold it, 13 Jac. I. to James Jenkyn Trekynin, gent. from
whose heirs it is come at last to Thomas Oats, and the writer thereof.
Another part of a tenement, being one fourth of the town of Lambourne,
[was sold by Sir John Danvers] much about the same time to ―――― Oats,
whose son John Oats sold it to the ancestor of Francis Gregor of
Trewarthenick, esq. who now enjoys it; and the remaining one twelfth
part (which maketh up his half of the said town), together with all
his claim to the one half of the lordship of Lambourne, and its
appurtenances, (Aut penes Authorem) to Edward Arundell of Lanherne,
esq. (being a younger brother of that family) 19 Elizabeth, 1577-8,
whose son, Thomas Arundell of St. Columb Major, esq. settled the same,
inter alia, 24 Car. I. 1648, on Richard Bluet, gent. a younger son of
Colan Bluet, of Little Colan, esq. on the marriage of his daughter
Elizabeth, to the said Richard Bluet; which said Richard Bluet, and
Elizabeth his wife, sold the said part to John Cordall, Jan. the 1st,
1650; and Ralph, the son of the said John Cordall, and John his son,
joined in a sale to the writer hereof, of the said premises, July 1,
1701: so that the present lords of the township of Lambourn, are Sir
John St. Aubin, and Thomas Scawen, esq., Francis Gregor, one fourth,
Thomas Tonkin, esq. one sixth, and Thomas Oats, one eighteenth. Where
note that the said Thomas Oats, a wealthy farmer in the said village,
(great-grandson to John Oats, who owned one fourth, now Mr. Gregor’s,)
I have reason to think (Aut. penes Authorem, at orig. pen. Thomas
Oats) descended from Otho Trefusis, who released his right in villa de
Trelisick (in St. Earth) to John Cornwall, 7 Junii, 28 Henry VI.; from
which Otho or Oats his posterity took the name of Oats, as was then
very common to do; and have, therefore, in my map of the hundred of
Pider, set the arms of Trefusis (which I think he may lawfully give)
over his name.
The said Richard Bluet and Elizabeth his wife, soon after, viz. 30
Maii, 1650, sold the half of this manor, and what remained indisposed
of, which was only one half of Millinoweth, alias Vellonnoweth [the
New Mill], and Nampetha, with Goynlase in St. Agnes, and a small part
in Fenton Vease [the outward well] and Collrun in this parish, with a
few high rents, unto Walter Vincent of Trigowethan, esq.; which, as
the rest of the Vincent’s estates, is gone (as you may see in
Mevagissey) to John Knight, who, Sir John St. Aubin, and Thomas
Scawen, esq. are the present lords of this manor.
