Accession no. 3062(A)

Purchased from the executors of Mr. C. K. Croft Andrew

These records were acquired by Mr. C. K. Croft-Andrew in 1935, and were purchased from his heirs by Cornwall Record Office in 1982.

The first John Connock, stated by some sources to be a tanner from Wiltshire, became Receiver of the Duchy of Cornwall in 1532. After the dissolution of the monasteries he acquired the manor of Hagland, which consisted mainly of town property in Liskeard, and purchased other properties, including Treworgey and Penquite in St. Cleer. He became a member of parliament and built a house in Liskeard, which still survives. He died in 1581, during his fourth term as mayor of the borough.

His son moved to Treworgey, which remained the seat of the family thenceforth. During the seventeenth century more properties were acquired: Weard in St. Stephen by Saltash, Hampt in Stoke Climsland and Merryfield in St. Cleer by marriage with the Byle or Beill family, Trekeive and Highwood mills in St. Cleer by marriage with the Burgoynes, and others in Liskeard and St. Pinnock.

Several of the Connocks served as members of parliament, justices of the peace and sheriffs of Cornwall, but none achieved any distinction in a political, military or literary career (although one branch of the family moved to Spain and were subsequently ennobled). During the first half of the eighteenth century financial difficulties seem to have arisen, as the estates were frequently mortgaged.

Nicholas Connock, the last of the male line, died in 1757 and bequeathed the family property to his wife Mary. During her long widowhood 'Madam Connock' paid off the mortgages and in 1799 was able to buy the manor of Bulland in St. Cleer from the Rashleighs. On her death in 1804, her sister-in-law Mary Cotton having already died, the estates passed to her cousins Miss Ann Hodge and Mrs. Arminell Inch, from them, in 1815, to Miss Ann Inch, and in 1826 to her nephew William Marshall

Further financial difficulties arose in the nineteenth century, the Liskeard town property being sold in 1836 at a low price. The Connock Marshall family continued to live at Treworgey until the house was destroyed by fire in 1938, after which the remaining properties were sold.
