There was a larger community here called West Stonehouse (compare with East Stonehouse) until it was burnt by the French in 1350. In medieval times the ferry was part of the manor of Stone-House, held by the Valletorts.〔Henderson, C. (1935) "Ferries in Cornwall", in ''Essays in Cornish History'', edited by A. L. Rowse and M. I.
