By the [?]a--d(w or er)of Sir Henry de Bodruyan 1487 all his lands were confiscated to the Crown and among them we find Cruke-vallaunce (1487). Sir Richard [-?-] received [?] by a [?] [?] Henry VII and they remained in his family until the year 1917 when Crugwallons was sold as parcel of the Manor of Pen[---]o in St Ewe - to which it had long been annexed. In 1695 it is spelt Gregvallans, in 1715 Tregwallons. In 1715 Richard Best's yearly value on Tregwallons Vean was 8 pounds.1
