Profile

Three small manors set close to one another in north Cornwall were very probably held by a single Beorhtsige who was not represented elsewhere. The central manor of the three was Tresparrett, standing at 650 ft with moorland reaching over 800 ft, a mile or two inland above the little valley of the river Valency. Four miles to the north was Dizzard, on the cliffs beyond Cambeak headland; 4 miles to the south and further inland was Tremblary, almost at the head of the valley of the Inny, flowing eastwards off the moors towards the Tamar. This little group of moorland and clifftop hamlets had land for 10 ploughs and 400 acres of pasture. Beorhtsige 48’s estate was too far (at 50 miles) from the single manor assigned to Beorhtsige 47 in north Devon for the two men to be identical. Nor is it at all likely that he was the minor 1086 tenant of the count of Mortain in the Lizard, 50 miles in the other direction (Beorhtsige 49).
