Trevessa Farmhouse

Trevessa Farmhouse is an early 18th-century and mid-19th-century farmhouse, likely built for Captain Botallick. The building is constructed of stone with slate hanging and a scantle slate roof. The original building remains at the east end, while the remainder was demolished to create a large, two-story block with a through hall. The farmhouse has two rooms in depth and gable stacks, likely added when it was adapted for a mine captain's house for local silver-lead mines. A central entrance has been converted into a 16-pane sash window, and other windows on both floors are also 16-pane sashes. Brick stacks are present. The earlier section has casement windows and a hipped roof. A stair window on the gable end has four panes with intersecting glazing bars. A whitewashed lean-to has been added to the rear, now containing a garage and service rooms. The property is associated with John Trevisa (1340-1402), a scholar who was born here and is known for works including 'de Regimine Principum', 'De Proprietatibus Rerum' and 'Polychronicon'.
