Trewan Hall

Trewan Hall (pronounced Trew-an) is a historic manor house in the parish of St Columb Major, Cornwall, England, UK.

The surviving Jacobean style manor house is located one mile north of the town.

The house and gardens, which now includes campsite grounds, has been privately owned by its current owners since 1960.
