William Pennalyky releases to John Fyntengympys all his claim, &c. in
Fyntengympys Veor, Fyntengympys Vyan [little Fyntengympys],
Marhasen-fos, Rekellythye, Chyendur, Paddestock, and Chywarton, “dat.
apud Truro Burg. 14 Julii, 24 Henry VI.” Which John Fentongympys had
(I suppose) only one daughter and heir, Joan (for so she is said to be
in a deed from John Laurens, cler. and Edmund Santy, capell.), to her
of a tenement in Fentongympys Vyan, and the heirs which Benedict, the
son of John Bernard of Bodmyn, has or shall beget on the body of the
said Joan, “dat. apud Truru Burgh,” the day before the feast of
Bartholomew, 24 Hen. VI. Which Joan, I guess, by a deed bearing date 8
Henry VII. was afterwards married to John Penrose, in which he and
Richard Penrose (I suppose his second son) release to William Penrose,
his son and heir, and Isabel, the daughter and heir of John Hayme, an
annuity of twenty shillings, lately granted to them by the said
William, and issuing out of Fentengympys Veor, Fentengympys Bian,
Chyandouer, Marghassan-fos, and Chywarton. The next that I find
possessed of any right here, are Richard Penwarne, esq. and William
Wayte of Trewenethick, gent. Wayte sells his part to Henry Dotson of
Roskymer in Mawgan Meneg, gent. (which said Henry had an estate before
in Fentongymps, &c. but by what right it doth not appear,) the 4th and
5th of Philip and Mary 1558; by which means Penwarne and Dotson had
each a moiety of this manor. Sir John Arundell of Tolverne, knight,
John Dotson of Reskymer, gent. (whose trustee I take Arundell to have
been[10]) convey their half to John Code of St. Wen, gent. 20 9^{ber}, 31
Elizabeth.
John Code and his brethren sell the same, 10 Dec. 40 Eliz. to John
Carter of St. Columb Major, gent. Richard Penwarne of Penwarne in
Mawnan, esq. sells the other half to the said John Carter, 20 Jan. 38
Eliz.
In which family of Carter this manor continued till 165――; when his
grandson, Richard Carter, esq. sold it to John Cleather, senior, gent.
whose posterity lived here some time in good repute. And in the year
1691, his grandson Samuel Cleather, gent. together with some lands in
the manor of Lambourn, sold it for £1500, to Hugh Tonkin, esq. and the
writer hereof is at present lord of it. Mr. Cleather gave, in a field
Vert, a chevron Or, between three clethes (swords in Cornish,) the
blades Proper, the pommels of the Second.
Within this manor is Chywarton (vulgo Chyton) i. e. a house on a hill.
[Tshei, Chi, a house in Cornish, War upon, and Don, a hill.] This was
the seat in lease (though John Resogan, senior, bought the fee about
the year 169――, of the heirs of John Lord Arundell of Trerice) of a
branch of the Resogans, of St. Stephen’s in Brannel. Here lived in
Queen Elizabeth’s time, Bennet Resogan, gent.
