History

The manor of Ellenglaze is recorded in the Domesday Book as "Elil" and belonging to the monastery of Bodmin and having 2 hides of land and land for 8 ploughs. The monastery had 4 ploughs and 4 serfs there. There were also 8 villeins, 8 smallholders, half a square league of pasture and 20 sheep. The value of it was £1 sterling.[2] "Elil" was at one time identified with a place in the hundred of East Wivelshire.[3] It is the location of a former lead mine, abandoned in 1839.[4]

Ellenglaze Manor is a Grade II listed building, probably dating from the mid-late 17th century, with later alterations.[5]
