• Notes

  "Of a total of approximately 15 inventories for Towednack for the period 1660-1691, that of Andrew Rosewall has the highest value with £354.8.6, the only others to approach it being: Robert Curnow £196.14.8, Francis Quick £159.3.4." [West Penwith at the Time of Charles II, citation details below.] Robert Curnow willed to his son Robert Curnow "1 mare called Splat, a metal crock, a metal pan and the boarding in the loft over the parlour." Interestingly, he also willed to his son Peter "the tenament called Terean Rose, Amallwidden in Amalveor." Amalveor is a tiny hamlet three miles southwest of St. Ives. In December 1931 a trove of gold objects dated to the Bronze Age were discovered at Amalveor Farm, about a mile west of Amalveor church; these artifacts now live in the British Museum.
