Alexander Daniell (12 December 1599 – 12 April 1668) was the sole proprietor of the Manor of Alverton, Cornwall from 1630 until his death in 1668.
He was born in Middelburg [1] [2] in Walcheren, the son of Richard Daniel, clothier and citizen of London, [3] and on coming to Cornwall in 1632, lived in rented accommodation until 1639, when a new house was built at Larigan, between Penzance and Newlyn. [4] His notebook gives his income and expenditure (actual years not stated in The Cornishman article). In the first year his income is £43 and expenditure £156; the following year his income was £206 and he spends £246; and in the third year income was £181 and expenditure £219. It appears that excess of expenditure over income was the norm. [5] He was interested in the history of the manor and made copies of rent-rolls preserving information on the parishes of Madron, St Buryan, and St Levan as well as Alverton. One of Daniell's manuscripts, known as the Rawlinson MSS, class C No 789 is preserved in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. [6]
He died at his residence on 12 April 1668 and is buried at Madron. The following is inscribed on his tomb:– [7]
Belgia me Birth, Britain me Breeding gave,
Cornwall a wife, ten children, and a grave.
[8]
Daniel's tomb, along with members of his family, is in the churchyard at Madron. [9]
