The menhir by the track to Arrallas

Arrallas (also Argallez, Argalles) was a manorial settlement recorded in the Domesday book, when in 1086 it had seven households and three ploughlands. [1] It is located in the parish of St Enoder in Cornwall, England. [2] Its name derives from the Cornish language words arghans and lys meaning "silver court", [3] with the lys likely denoting a site of royal importance. [4]

In the fourth year of the reign of Edward I (c. 1276) a jury in the Hundred of Powdershire held that Robert de Cardinan had held the fee in chief of Henry III, but this was alienated by Isolda de Cardinan and was then now held by a Mauger de St. Albin. [5] When a Guy St Aubyn's widow Alice Sergeaux married Richard de Vere, 11th Earl of Oxford it passed to the earl, before returning to the St Aubyn family. [6] In the fifteenth century becoming vested in the crown it was granted to George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence c. 1462. [7] In 1492 the manor was granted to John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, [8] who forfeited it and whence it came to the Duke of Gloucester. [9] It later passed to the Vyvyan baronets and Rashleigh family. [7]

Arrallas Farm is now part of the 2,215 acre Arrallas Estate acquired by the Duchy of Cornwall in 1952. [10] [11] The 18th century farmhouse is a Grade II listed building, [12] as is a range of associated farm buildings. [13]

Heanton Satchville was a historic manor in the parish of Petrockstowe, North Devon, England. With origins in the Domesday manor of Hantone, it was first recorded as belonging to the Yeo family in the mid-14th century and was then owned successively by the Rolle, Walpole and Trefusis families. The mansion house was destroyed by fire in 1795. In 1812 Lord Clinton purchased the manor and mansion of nearby Huish, renamed it Heanton Satchville, and made it his seat. The nearly-forgotten house was featured in the 2005 edition of Rosemary Lauder's "Vanished Houses of North Devon". A farmhouse now occupies the former stable block with a large tractor shed where the house once stood. The political power-base of the Rolle family of Heanton Satchville was the pocket borough seat of Callington in Cornwall, acquired in 1601 when Robert Rolle purchased the manor of Callington.
