Trerice
Trerice (pronounced ''Tre-rice'')〔Jenkins, Simon, ''Discover Britain's Historic Houses: West Country'', published by Reader's Digest, London, 2003, p.54〕 is an historic manor in the parish of Newlyn East (Newlyn in Pydar), near Newquay, Cornwall, England. The surviving Elizabethan manor house known as Trerice House is located at Kestle Mill, three miles east of Newquay (). The house with its surrounding garden has been owned by the National Trust since 1953 and is open to the public. The garden features an orchard with old varieties of fruit trees.
==Nomenclature==
The Celtic prefix ''Tre-'' or ''Tref-'' is commonly found in Cornish place names, denoting "hamlet, farmstead or estate", and pre-dates the 7th century Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain. About 1,300 such place names survive in Cornwall west of the River Tamar, but only 3 survive in Devon, the next adjoining county beyond the Tamar. A few instances also exist in Glamorgan, on the north side of the Bristol Channel from Cornwall. The prefix is the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon suffix ''-tun'' or ''-ton'', today rare in Cornwall but common in Devon and elsewhere. The second part of the place name ''-Rice'' (compare Welsh ''Rhys'') is the name of the Celtic man who held the estate.〔Padel, O. J., ''Place-Names'', pp. 88-90, published in Kain, Roger & Ravenhill, William, (eds.) ''Historical Atlas of South-West England'', Exeter, 1999〕
