A reference to this house in The West Briton of 31st July, 1818 reads:
"At invitation of R.A. Daniell a numerous party of ladies and gents of Truro to dine
at the beautiful cottage lately erected by him at Roundwood...".
It is said that Thomas Daniell who remodelled Trelissick House circa 1825, lost
Trelissick to Lord Falmouth by gambling and then came to live at Roundwood. It is
certainly recorded that Trelissick Estate was sold to Lord Falmouth in 1832, but
Daniell emigrated in 1832, the same year that the house, quay and 9 acres of land
were advertised to let by Lord Falmouth in the West Briton.
