(07/02/1989) The inference drawn by Gover et al (1931) is incorrect. Little Stannon Newtake was enclosed between 1807 and 1814 by Thomas Hullett (manuscript, Duchy of Cornwall Record office). The 19th century cottage at Stannon is the first residence on the newtake and is of little architectural interest. There is no evidence of, or known reference to, a Medieval farmstead.
Lease of 661 acres 3.29p to Thomas Hullett, 10th April 1807.
