Trehellas House has a long and interesting history, being at various times a farm house, a court house and the local village inn where many village functions were held. Around about 100 years before the hotel was built, parliamentarian commander Oliver Cromwell rode by, en-route to secure Wadebridge bridge from the Cornish royalists. They pulled over a Cornish stone post which lay in a ditch for some hundred years until the Colonel from Pencarrow built the hotel and replaced the shaft of the stone.
To our knowledge this is the only fleu de lis stone in Cornwall and proudly sits outside the hotel. When Maclean wrote his history of the parish of Egloshayle, Trehellas was known as the Washaway Inn where the monthly Petty sessions for the hundred of Trigg were still being held. The Long room of the inn was still used as a magistrates court into the 20th century dealing with minor offences such as drunkenness.
The old joke was that those convicted or accquited consoled themselves or celebrated by popping downstairs for a drink.
