Domesday manor, held wrongfully by Count of Mortain who had taken it from the church.
In 1150 King Stephen gave the Knights Templars the Manor of Trebeigh together with
Temple on Bodmin Moor, forming the Preceptory of Trebeigh. The Preceptory was given
the advowson of the parish church of St Ive. In 1312 the Knights Hopitallers became
the new owners. Accounts found in Malta for the Hospitallers of St Ive in 1338
record dovecotes, honey and the prices of animals and grain. Dissolved in c1534 but
restored again in 1557 by Queen Mary. In 1573 the manor was granted to Henry Wilbye
and George Blyke. John Wrey then acquired Trebeigh making it the chief residence of
the Wrey family until the mid C17. Under the Earl of Moreton, and his successors the
manor enjoyed almost royal privileges with its own court Leet with Stewart, bailiff
and prison bailiff and prison.
