Crocadon farmhouse is the remains of an historic and important piece of Cornwall’s heritage.  Up until the 1600s it was the site of a fortified mansion of considerable importance. During the 1600s the estate changed hands and a Captain Tillie married into the Coryton family.

He influenced the building of Pentille Castle, which in turn instigated the dismantling of the mansion and the rebuilding of the farmhouse out of the remains.

Prior to the Corytons it was the family seat of the De Trevisa family. Indeed the secular priest John de Trevisa is reputed to have made one of the earliest translations of the bible from Latin into English. He was a noted scholar and contemporary of Wycliffe and Chaucer, well known to students of Middle English.

Today, Crocadon has once again evolved for a new era. It is now a thriving rural business with local timber production and manufacturing at its core.

Crocadon house is one of its products and after extensive but sympathetic restoration using many of the mill's products. We are open for bed and breakfast visitors.  Guests are also welcome to visit our sawmill, which produces many high quality timber products from sustainable, local timber.
