Andrew de Cardinham

Penhallam is the site of a fortified manor house near Jacobstow in Cornwall, England. There was probably an earlier, 11th-century ringwork castle on the site, constructed by Tryold or his son, Richard fitz Turold in the years after the Norman invasion of 1066. Their descendants, in particular Andrew de Cardinham, created a substantial, sophisticated manor house at Penhallam between the 1180s and 1234, building a quadrangle of ranges facing onto an internal courtyard, surrounded by a moat and external buildings. The Cardinhams may have used the manor house for hunting expeditions in their nearby deer park. By the 14th century, the Cardinham male line had died out and the house was occupied by tenants. The surrounding manor was broken up and the house itself fell into decay and robbed for its stone. Archaeological investigations between 1968 and 1973 uncovered its foundations, unaltered since the medieval period, and the site is now managed by English Heritage and open to visitors.

Biography
"He was heir to his father. Although, with estates now owing the service of seventy-one knights, he was one of the foremost barons of Cornwall, Andrew played little part in national affairs. This may in some measure be due to the grant of the county of Cornwall to the king's brother, Richard (d. 1272), whereby, at least from 1242?3, the Cardinan family once again became vassals of the earls of the county. Andrew was survived by his wife, Ela: her obit was said at Tywardreath on 3 September and his on 19 September.

"Andrew had no son to succeed him and his estates therefore passed to his daughter, Isolda (d. in or after 1301), who married first Thomas de Tracy (d. 1263×70).

He died sometime between 1252-1254.
