Tybesta

Tybesta (Tibesteu in the Domesday Book) was a manor located in Cornwall, England, UK. The manor of Tybesta was given by William the Conqueror to his half-brother Robert, Count of Mortain; before the conquest it was held by Ralph the Constable.[1] Tybesta contained all of the parish of Creed; and parts of Probus and Cuby. It was a royal manor and the bailiwick of the hundred of Powder.[2] In 1086 it contained 3 hides and there was land for 30 ploughs. There were 47 households, 40 acres of woodland, pasture 3 leagues long and one league wide, 14 cattle, 4 pigs and 160 sheep.[3] Sections of an ancient castle are still visible and the location where an ancient well is located is probably the area which gave the name to the manor.[4]

Grampound with Creed was part of the old manor of Tybesta
