Vivian of Trewen and Trenowith
the Historical Survey of the County of Cornwall, refers to the Vivians of Trenowith and Trewan.
In the 'History Of Cornwall', by Joseph Polsue, it states that Trewan House, built by John Vivian 1633, probably a grandson of John, stands a short distance from Trenoweth, now Trenowth Farm.
Trewan House is described as 'seated on the brow of a hill facing south, and sheltered by plantations. Its elevated position above St. Columb town commands an uninterrupted view of a fine picturesque scenery of hill and valley'. It also says that Trenowth (or Trenowith), and Trewan are two seats held by the Vyvyan family. [11] [12]

Trewen
The Curate Ralph Honey died & was buried in the Trewen churchyard on 28th of May 1596. His successor James Tredennecke arrived serve as the Curate of the Chapel of Trewenne". Between 1539 and 1681 Trewen was a Parochial Chapel of South Petherwin but at this date became a joint Church.
After this the Priest-in-charge often lived outside the Parish, one lived in Launceston. Services were held every fortnight and in 1710 there were four yearly communions with 20 communicants. By 1745 the population had increased to 17 families but the communicants had not.
Trewen always seemed to take the easier course if there was religious strife.
There is a certificate of 1641 preserved in the House of Lords revealing that the "clergy, churchwardens, overseers and constables of Trewen did as the Houses bade them" concerning their "declared attachment for the reformed religion and to the rights and liberties of the subject". They did not want problems with the Cromwellians, but, if the old religion still existed, they would have been indifferent to the established Church. As it still seems to be pursued by unknown individuals now it would not be surprising.
In 1775 a small school was established at Trewen with a teacher's salary of £2.0.0 per annum. The Chapel would have provided a schoolroom, and the Priest was the only inhabitant who would have had the education to teach the children. Certainly he would have appreciated the addition to his stipend.

Mary Clist / Clast has always puzzled me because it is such an odd name even in a land of odd names and I couldn't find her anywhere.

1895 Penzance, St. Mary (Madron Chapelry) Mary Jane CLIST
Clast not found in OLPC/Cornwall BUT if the 's' was written, as they did, like a long 'f' does that alter things ? - CliFt - maybe is was an ' f ' and not an 's'
CLIFT
1725 Morwenstow Mary CLIFT Bb parents William & Frances
1729 Stoke Climsland Mary CLIFT Bb parent Robt. & Mary
1730 Altarnun Mary CLIFT bb parents John & Elizabeth - proximity wise this seems the Most Likely except she would have been only 15.-but thats not unheard of
MORWENSTOW (Moorwinstow, Morwinstow, Morwenstowe) is the most northerly parish in Cornwall & Stoke Climsland -
