Village taken off market in legal wrangle
0 Comments | Western Morning News, The, Sep 6, 2010
Residents of a remote Cornish village which was to have been sold in its entirety were rejoicing yesterday after it emerged that the Manor of Trevalga was off the market while lawyers wrangle over a question of ownership.
“Savills the agents have suspended the sale for legal reasons,” said villager Linda Frohlick. “It’s come as a complete surprise – we’ve contacted the Western Morning News straight away, but many villagers don’t know yet because they’re still out at work.
“So there hasn’t been any dancing in the streets yet. But I’m sure there will be.”
Last month this paper reported how the Manor of Trevalga, along with its five tenant farms and 16 rented houses and cottages, had been placed on the market with an asking price of Pounds 10 million.
Young mother Jess Frohlick-Watson said her children were the family’s fifth generation to reside in the village and she was afraid the sale would mean eviction.
She said: “We could be out within two months. The worst-case scenario is that my children, who are 14 and six, could be evicted from their beds – their home – just so other children can have a nice holiday in the countryside.”
The nightmare looked increasingly like becoming a reality in recent weeks, according to her mother Linda. “We’ve had loads of people come to the village looking at properties,” Mrs Frohlick said. “There have been people in big flashy cars looking at the whole village, others have been interested in individual properties and we’ve had groups of farmers looking at the farms.
The first news of the sale hit the village last month when residents learned that lawyers for Marlborough College had discovered that the trust set up by the man who bought it in 1934 – the late Mr Gerald Curgenven – was invalid because it did not have an end date or ultimate beneficiary.
The private college then claimed direct ownership of the Trevalga estate, but became concerned that owning such a large asset appeared to contravene the Charity Commission’s guidelines. That was when the school took the step of instructing Savills to put the entire estate up for sale, the one exception being St Petroc’s Church.
A Marlborough College spokesman said: “The reason for the suspension is very simple

There I learned more from living
each day than I ever gleaned from any version of Dante?s Inferno and/ or
Paradiso. The ways of the world are universal; the human element
uniting all of us with a common thread. Italian men, however, represent
a particular work in progress I shall call the Peacock Syndrome. I wish to
acknowledge that this condition is often found in men of all ethnic
backgrounds, persuasions and nationalities as well, but in smaller
degrees. (Women, Italian and otherwise, have other problems). My point
will be illustrated with a picture that hopefully will neither need one
thousand words nor ignite the cosmopolitan masculine world against
me.
I will never forget a February morning in Perugia when I spied from my
warm perch a young Italian man sipping an expresso at a caf? on the
town?s main street, Corso Vanucci. (Maybe it was really anti-freeze he
was drinking. Who knows?) Anyway, it was a memorable sight because
he was seated directly opposite me, but OUTSIDE, despite the freezing
temperatures and chopping winds that ripped through the tablecloth.
