"Looking up the valley [of Porthcurno], a few trees and the chimney-tops and part of the roof of in old house are to be seen. It is Raftra House, once the largest mansion west of Penzance; built, tradition says, by the Tressillians, a grand old Cornish family, who, before it was finished, had, it is said, run through their patrimony, and had to sell it and the lands for less than the building lead cost them."
