TONKIN.

On the western side of this parish, behind Arwinnick, the seat of Sir

Peter Killigrew, is a large pool, like a little harbour, between two

hills, but that it hath a bar of sand and pebbles, which keepeth out

the sea, like that of the Loe near Helston. It is commonly called the

Swan Pool, for that Sir Peter Killigrew, to whom it belongs, kept

abundance of swans here.

Trewoon, or Treoon, in this parish, the downy dwelling, or

house ―――― in the downs, was the seat of the Carnsews, who had their

name from their habitation at Carnsew in Mabe, where they formerly

possessed a fine estate, which, being wasted by extravagant living,

this barton was at first mortgaged, and a little after the late

Revolution, sold by Mr. John Carnsew to Joseph Trewinnard, rector of

Mawnan.
