Treneglos, Cornwall Genealogy
Parish History[edit | edit source]
Treneglos (Cornish: Treneglos (from "tre-an-eglos", in English literally 'Churchtown') St Gregory is an Ancient Parish in the county of Cornwall. Warbstow, Cornwall was a chapelry of Treneglos.The church is at Treneglos at OS Grid Ref SX207881.
The parish was in the 12th century in the possession of Robert Fitz-William, Lord of Downeckney (Downinney), who gave it to the priory of Tywardreath, Cornwall. Warbstow was then a chapelry dependent on Treneglos; the two benefices were later combined as a vicarage (united benefice). Robert was responsible for building the church; though it was rebuilt in 1858 the Norman tympanum and font were preserved and are perhaps by the same craftsman as those at Egloskerry, Cornwall and Tremaine, Cornwall.
