Whitstone, the seat of the Goodes from about 1540 to 1669, was the
principal estate in the parish of Whitestone, in the north of Cornwall.
It was the"Whitestan," of Domeday Book. The manor was given by William
the Conqueror to his half brother, Robert, Earl of Moriton, by whom it
was granted to one of his knights called Carminow, who undertook as a
fee, to supply to the Earl's castle of Dunheved, at Launceston, ten
miles away, a certain number of men, skilled in arms, whenever he might
be called upon. The manor, according to one authority, continued in the
Carminow family until 1400, when it passed to the Arundells of Lanherne
and Wardour; according to another, it became the seat of the Cobham
family. How it passed to the Whitsons, no one knows. William Whitson must
have owned it in the early part of the sixteenth century, for he died in
1560.
It is quite possible that the name of the estate may have been assumed by
some member of the Cobham or Arundell families.
A late "Parochial History" of the county remarks:
"Whitestone house and its demsne lands were formerly the property of the
family of Goode, Johanna, daughter and sole heir of John Goode of
Whitstone in Parochia de Sancti Nicholae de Whtestone, carried the estate
in marriage to Henry Badcock, merchant of Penzance, and was sold by the
Badcocks to Thomas l'Ans, Esq., of Bideford."
The old manor house was remodeled about 1780, by Wrey l'Ans, Esq., and
then took its present form; a portion of the old walls still remain. it
is now (1883) the property of Edward Mucklow, Esq., of "Castlehead
Grange," Lancashire.
