#manorhouse — Public Fediverse posts

So, if anyone wants to watch #DowntonAbbey (I have not yet watched it until recently), or maybe re-watch the series, I would strongly recommend #ManorHouse / #EdwardianHouse from 2001. It really lays out how the hierarchy worked (or didn't work). I learned a lot from Manor House and wish I had watched it before starting Downton...

Trerice Manor, an Elizabethan house in Cornwall.

In the ten generations that the Cornish Arundels were at their home of Lanherne, there was only one head of the household who wasn’t named John. The Arundels of Trerice were no different. Of the nine generations from John and Jane Durrant, eight were called John!

John II was knighted in 1460 and was the grandson of the aforementioned John and Jane. It is thought that the building of the Manor House began with him, however, the house we see today, with this beautiful window, was not begun until the reign of Elizabeth I.

In the mid-15th century, the Arundel’s home was not Trerice but Efford in Devon, a manor on the coast near Bude.

Tradition has it, that the reason the family moved to Trerice from Efford was because of a prophecy that had frightened John. The story goes that a man he’d had sent to prison had said to him ‘when upon the yellow sand thou shall die by human hand’ In order that this did not come true the family hot-footed it to their ancestral home of Trerice. In 1471 however, while John was Sheriff of Cornwall and while attempting to take back St Michaels Mount from the Lancastrians under the Earl of Oxford, John was killed on the beach at Marazion, the little fishing village opposite the mount!
