Withiel is in the hundred of Pider, the manor and manorial house, I
believe, being denominated only from the personal name of its owner,
Withiel.
In anno 1291, 20 Edward I. this church was valued (Tax. Ben.) at £4.
being appropriated to the Priory of Bodmin.
This is a rectory, valued in the King’s Book £10.; the patronage in
Sir Francis Vyvyan, Bart.; the incumbent Mr. Richard Trewren, who
succeeded Mr. William Wood in 17――.
The 12 Edward I. this manor, in the extent of Cornish acres, was
valued in fifteen. (Carew, fol. 46 b.)
