Built in 1573 by Sir John Arundell, Trerice Manor enjoys a secluded setting in a sheltered valley and reached by a winding, narrow lane. During the Civil War the Arundell’s were staunch Royalists, and, as a result, their fortunes suffered a downturn during Cromwell’s time. However it picked up again at the royal restoration and the Arundell's continued living here for many generations. It is a delightful, small Elizabethan house with some very fine plaster ceilings. It is even reputed to have a ghost, that of a seduced and dumped servant girl who subsequently committed suicide
