The site of a Medieval Manor House now occupied by a later structure. It was documented as being fortified in 1330, sacked in 1493 and rebuilt, and again rebuilt in 1736 and 1865. (PastScape)

Gatehouse Comments

Licence to crenellate granted, in 1330, to William Basset for his 'mansum' in Tuthidy, Cornwall. Presumably this is the record of the house being fortified in 1330 mentioned by PastScape. Some parts of the C18 house survive but nothing of medieval date.
