Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Carminowe-17

She was age 19 at her father's death in 1538.

Co-heiress of Courtenay Estates

According to Thomas C. Amory, Philippa was co-heiress of that part of the Courtenay estates in Penkevil, England which escaped forfeiture when the Marquis of Exeter, next to the crown, was beheaded. [1]

Philippa owned the village of Plympton a few hundred yards from Tristram Coffin's farm at Butlass in Plympton Erle which her daughter carried to Peter Coffin.

After Hugh's death, she married James Trewynnard. After their marriage, James went to live with Philippa at Tregothnan higher up the Fal estuary. Soon after this marriage, he became involved in a bitter dispute with his stepson John Boscawen and the young man’s guardian John Carminowe over some livestock. Matters came to a head on 8 Feb. 1560 when there was a skirmish between the two parties, in which Trewynnard was injured and his companion Carew Courtenay was killed. Following his wife’s death Trewynnard gave up living at Tregothnan and appears to have left Cornwall for a time; in 1564 or not long afterwards, as James Trewynnard of the county of Devon, he brought an action against Thomas Herle regarding lands in Kenwyn and elsewhere in the neighbourhood of Truro. Herle was a nephew of Trewynnard’s late wife and the lands in question appear to have formed part of the property divided between the elder Nicholas Carminowe’s coheirs Elizabeth Herle and Philippa Trewynnard; as Herle pointed out, Trewynnard had no claim to any part of this inheritance.[2]

Burial

She is buried at St. Michael Penkivel, next to her first husband, where a brass bears the inscription: "Philipa, Daughter & coheire of Nicholas Carminow, Esqr."

• .... His experience at Pendennis was doubtless of use to Trewynnard when in 1560 he was appointed to survey St. Michael’s Mount: he had probably resigned the post on his marriage to Philippa Boscawen as he went to live with her at Tregothnan higher up the Fal estuary. Soon after this marriage he became involved in a bitter dispute with his stepson John Boscawen and the young man’s guardian John Carminowe over some livestock.
