Sheriff of Cornwall, Vice-Admiral of the west to henry V111
Left a will. Buried at Stratton Church, Cornwall He was succeeded by his eldest son, the third Sir John ARUNDELL, who advanced the family fortunes yet further.
From Tudor Cornwall by A L Rowse page 439-440 "In the early sixteenth century it is quite usual to find John ARUNDELL of Trerice referred to as John Arundell TRERICE: only the superior pull of the Arundell name prevented them from becoming Trerices."
THE ARUNDELLS OF TRERICE.
The Arundells of Trerice were seated in the Parish of Newlyn, Cornwall about 5 miles south of Lanherne; and some fine portions remain of their mansion of the sixteenth century. At an early period they had another residence at Allerford in West Somerset, but they were seated at Trerice at least as early as the reign of Edward lll (1327-1377).
The earliest Trerice Arundell of note seems to have been a Sir John, Vice Admiral of Cornwall early in the fifteenth century. When sheriff of Cornwall he was sent by King Edward IV (1461-1483) to retake St Michael's Mount, which had been seized by the Earl of Oxford. Sir John had removed from Efford by the seaside, to Trerice (an inland abode) owing, it is said, to a prophecy (HALS) the "he would be slain in the sands." Yet he did not avert his fate, for, on the strand near Marazion, he lost his life in 1471 in a skirmish, and his remains lie in the chapel of St Michael's Mount (Sir John 1) (cf. CAREW 1811, p281.)
The Arundells of Trerice evidentally continued in royal favour, for one of them received an autographed letter from the Queen of Henry VII, announcing to him the birth of a prince, her son.
Henry VIII (1509-1547) appointed another Sir John Arundell (grandnephew of him who was killed at the Mount) his esquire of the body. He was known as "Jack of Tilbury." He is noticed below (in other notes) as well as his grandson, Richard Arundell, first Baron Arundell of Trerice. Carew is full of information as to this branch of the family. The male line of the family became extinct by the death of the fourth baron, John, in 1768 and Trerice ultimately passed into the hands of its present possessor, Sir Thomas Dyke Ackland, Bart. An uncle of the last baron, the Hon Richard Arundell, who died in 1759 without issue, was M.P. for Knaresborough, clerk of the pipe, surveyor of works, master and warden of the mint, and a commissioner of the treasury. Amongst the legal representatives of the Arundells of Trerice in 1829, was the Hon Ada Byron daughter of the poet. (Gent. Mag xcix. pt. ii p215)

Biography
John Chamond came of a gentle family of little distinction until the 16th century. He practised as a lawyer, his counsel being retained by many of the principal magnates, monastic houses and corporations in the south-west, as well as by the duchy of Cornwall. His first marriage brought him into a family with a legal tradition and an extensive clientele, but it was his second, into a more prestigious family in the neighbourhood of Launcells, which established him as a figure of some authority. Early in his career he obtained a post in the royal household, and it was perhaps in the company of Sir Richard Guildford that he visited Jerusalem where he was dubbed a knight of St. John.4
In 1529 Chamond was sheriff of Cornwall, and in this capacity he served as the shire’s returning officer to the Parliament of that year: it was presumably his influence which procured the election of his nephew Richard Grenville as a knight of the shire and of several Grenville kinsmen and associates as Members for Cornish boroughs. He was knighted by the King on the same day as his nephew, and during the 1530s the two men co-operated in many affairs of mutual interest, Chamond acting on Grenville’s behalf in his nephew’s absence abroad. In 1539 Grenville’s duties as marshal of Calais prevented him from standing for Parliament, and Chamond made ‘great suit’ for his own return for Cornwall: this was reported to Cromwell, who may have extended to Chamond the favour that he had already shown to Grenville. Evidently his links with the recently executed Marquess of Exeter and the fact that he was at the time sheriff of Devon were no bar to his election. This may have been Chamond’s only appearance in Parliament, but as the returns for most of Henry VIII’s Parliaments are lost it is possible that he had sat there earlier and that he did so again in 1542. Nothing is known of his contribution to the proceedings of the House, but after its dissolution a letter was sent to him about the collection of the subsidy which he had helped to grant.5
As a reward for his services Chamond had been granted in 1537 Launcells, a cell of Hartland abbey, which he had converted and adapted to a family residence where he died on 13 Jan. 1544. He was succeeded by the son of his first marriage, but Launcells descended to his younger son Richard, whom he made executor of his (lost) will and who was referred to the Chancery for settlement of a debt owed by Chamond to George Rolle.6
