Hi Teri and other Vosper Cousins

 

When my husband and I visited Cornwall in April, 2015, we purposely went to see Trerice Manor, home of the Trerice Arundells who we are all related to. We noted the hints in the house that they were Royalists who supported the King during the Civil War. Indeed, it was in reward for their support that King Charles II made Richard Arundell a Baron (and where all those Sirs come from) and the document declaring this is on display in the house.

 

We do a blog when we travel and here is the paragraph I wrote at the time:

 

We had already seen portraits on the walls of King Charles I and by now it was pretty clear that the Arundells of Trerice were Royalists and upstairs in the Long Gallery was proof positive: a framed document on the wall is The Peerage Patent of King Charles II, creating Richard Arundell (Yvonne's 1st cousin, 11 times removed) the first Baron of Trerice 1664/5. This was a reward for Richard and his father's services during the Civil War. 

 

There's more about the family in the the blog and photos of the house under the heading The Arundell of Trerice. Believe me, for me it was the highlight of the whole trip. If anyone is interested here is the link:
