Description

There has been a house and garden at Tregothnan for a very long time. When John de Boscawen Ros of St. Buryan Parish married the heiress Johan de Tregothnan in 1335, he moved his home from the Penzance area to Tregothnan, where his descendants are still living. The Tregothnan coat of arms is set over the front door; 'Tregothnan' translated from Cornish means 'The House at the Head of the Valley.'

The original house, in Plantagenet times, lay to the northwest of the present terrace, where a number of ilexes now grow. It was a two-storeyed building with a battlemented tower containing an arched doorway. Only the old doorway remains - at the entrance of the present kitchen garden. The original house was 'sacked' in the Civil War, and the present house dates from the time of the Protectorate, as confirmed by the date, 1652, carved in stone over the side door.

In 1811, Humphry Repton, Norfolkman and landscape designer, reported to Lord Falmouth that the floors of the house had dry rot and were giving way. His report contained plans for rebuilding the house and landscaping the grounds.
