Trevenson House

Trevenson House was built in 1797 for Thomas Kevill, a steward of the Tehidy estate and replaced an earlier house on the site. Trevenson House is a Grade II listed building. Further information regarding the history can be found here. [2] It is now part of iCT4 Limited[3] being run as serviced offices and conferencing facilities for the community.

Trevenson Chapel

Tevenson Chapel was built in 1806–09 as a Church of England chapel-of-ease in the parish of Illogan. The chapel has a thin castellated west tower; the pointed windows are of granite with cast iron tracery. This tracery has been replaced with modern replicas.[4][5]

Education

The area is home to Cornwall College, an A level centre and Pool School. Trevenson used to be home to the Camborne School of Mines between 1970 and 2004. It has since moved to a new campus in Penryn called Tremough.

Cornish wrestling

Trevenson Park was the venue for Cornish wrestling tournaments for prizes[6] including the Interceltic games in 1929.[7]
