Early Origins of the Tredinnick family

The surname Tredinnick was first found in Cornwall where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Tredneck (Tredinick).

"At Tredinick, which was anciently the seat of a family so named, but which became extinct in the reign of Charles II. Tonkin mentions the ruins of the mansion as a stately pile of buildings; the windows of which, or rather of the hall belonging to it, he describes as the largest of the kind in the kingdom. But no vestiges of these venerable buildings at present remain ; and a farm house now occupies the ground on which this mansion stood. Within the church of St. Breock there are a few monumental stones, for the families of Tredinick, Tregagle, and Wyell; the memorials of the Tredinicks bear the dates of 1578 and 1642; and of the Tregagles the dates are 1678 and 1708." 1
