Full description
The settlement of Trerice is first recorded in 1302, when it is spelt "Trereys" (b1). The name is Cornish and contains the elements tre meaning 'estate, farmstead' (which implies a settlement of early medieval origin), and rid meaning 'ford' (b2).
During the C14 Trerice was acquired by the Arundells, who however continued to have their main residence at Efford in Stratton. Possible remains of the house of this period are incorporated in the present building. The present house was built in 1576, and is owned by the National Trust (NT-825053).
In 2005 a watching brief was carried out by the HES (b3) during the excavation of a gas pipe trench leading to the Great Barn. Mostly modern C19 and C20 material was recovered, but the trench also impinged on the corner of a farm building which was shown on the 1880 OS map. No evidence was recovered for any features related to the C18 planned garden and parkland.
