In circa mid C17 passed to the Cole family.John Cole, according to C S Gilbert, was responsible for erecting the plain unornamented mansion and for destroying the old house and its chapel. Gilbert also describes the house as being 'easily distinguished through an avenue of stately trees.' (q.v. painted powder room). 1686 William Morshead married sister of J Coleand the property then passed to their son William. Several glass bottles have since been found by the present owner including one with1762 W marked on side.

Tencreek. Lands formerly in possession of Richard, Earlof Cornwall who possibly briefly lived at Tencreek. Polsue quotes a C17 description by Hals; 'For in the old dilapidated house of this once famous fabric, I saw the ruins of a moorstone oven, about 14 foot diameter, in testimony of the hospitality once kept there. And moreover, in front of the castlewise moorstone gate, or portal,'I beheld his arms cut in stone'. No evidence of these items visible. Later property of Trevilles. c1761 barton property of Samuel Pett.
