Thorton Manor was constructed in the late 1600s just outside the town of Wendron in Cornwall by the 5th Viscount Thorton, Jacob Lawrence, as a home for his family. His son, Phillip Lawrence, was named the first Earl of Narbett and granted a greater swath of land, including an Elizabethan manor house. Thus, the titleholder's family moved to what was now called Narbett Hall, leaving Thorton Manor to become a secondary estate and the traditional residence of heir to the Earl of Narbett.
