Early Origins of the Corrington family

The surname Corrington was first found in Cornwall where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Coryton and St. Ives. The church in the parish of Mellyn or St. Mellion in Cornwall "is an ancient structure in the early English style, with a lofty tower of granite; it contains some rich Norman details, and monuments to the Coryton family." 1

The manor of Dinnerdake, or Dunerdake, in the parish of St. Ive, Cornwall was held by the Coryton family at one time. 2

The manor of Landegy in the parish of Kea, Cornwall has been held by the family "since about the year 1620, it was sold by Charles Tregain to William Coryton, Esq. ancestor of John Tillie Coryton, Esq. the present proprietor." 2

Since then, their influence has moved east into Devon, Somerset and Dorset.
