The Manor of Treverbyn was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was one of 28 manors held by Richard from Robert, Count of Mortain. There was one virgate of land and land for 3 ploughs. There were one and a half ploughs, 2 serfs, 2 villeins, 4 smallholders, 2 acres of woodland and 20 acres of pasture. The value of the manor was only 5 shillings, although it had formerly been worth 10 shillings.[3] The manor of Tewington was one of the seventeen Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall.

Miningedit
The entrance to the Gunheath china clay pit
The area was once the site of tin and copper mines but during the 19th century extensive china clay works were established including one of the largest at Carclaze.[citation needed]
In 2009, the clay company Imerys announced Baal Pit and West Carclaze would be the locations for up to 2,000 new eco-homes. The project was estimated to cost £9 million.[6] The Baal pit was used in the 1971 Doctor Who episode Colony in Space featuring Jon Pertwee. The quarry was used to depict the surface of planet Uxarieus.[7]
Cornish wrestlingedit
Cornish wrestling tournaments were held in a field behind the Carthew Inn in Carthew in the 1800s and 1900s.[8][9]
