HISTORY

OF THE

PARISHES OF CORNWALL.




STITHIANS.


HALS.

Stithians is situate in the hundred of Kerrier, and hath upon the
north Gwenap, west Gwendron, east Gluvias and Peran-well, south Mabe.

I take it to be the same place taxed in the Domesday Book 1087, by the
corrupt name of Stachenue.[1] At the time of the first inquisition
into the value of Cornish Benefices this church was not endowed if
extant, nor its daughter church Peranwell; but in Wolsey’s Inquisition
1521, it was rated by the name of Stedians, £14. 0_s._ 8_d._ The
patronage formerly, as I am informed, either in the rector and fellows
of the College of Regular Priests at Glasnith, or the Governor of St.
John’s Hospital at Sithney, now in Boscawen; the incumbent ――――
Hillman, and the parish rated to the four shillings per pound Land
Tax, for one year 1696, £104. 4_s._ 0_d._; the rectory in ――――
Boscawen.

This church is dedicated to St. Thomas à Beckett, and accordingly
their parish festival is kept on St. Thomas’s Day, July 7th, as
was its superior collegiate church of Glasnith, founded by Walter
Branscomb, Bishop of Exeter, A. D. 1256.

The barton and manor of Penalmicke, id est, the head or chief coat of
mail armour, so called for that such armour was made or lodged in this
place in former ages by the possessors or proprietors thereof; which
place gave name and original to an old family of gentlemen from thence
surnamed de Penalmick; from whose heirs it passed to Skewish, tempore
Queen Mary, of whose posterity Collan Skewish, gent. tempore 3d of
James I. sold the same to Sir Nicholas Hals of Fentongollan, knight,
whose son John Hals, esq. sold the same to Pendarves, now in
possession thereof as I am informed.

Tretheage, alias Tredeage, in this parish, is the dwelling of John
Morton, gent. that married ―――― Wilton.

On the south-west part of this parish towards Gwendron, near the
highway, are still to be seen nine stones perpendicularly erected in
the earth, in a direct manner, called the Nine Maids or Sisters,
probably set up there in memory of nine religious sisters or nuns in
that place, before the fifth century (See St. Colomb Major and
Buryan); not women turned into stones as the English name implies, and
as the country people thereabout will tell you. See also Gwendron.

This parish is enriched with streams and lodes of tin in abundance.


TONKIN.

Stithians is in the hundred of Kerrier, and hath to the west Gwendron,
to the north Gwenap, to the east St. Piran Arwothall, and to the south
Constanton and Mabe.

This parish takes its name from its guardian saint St. Stithians
[rather Stithian. But who was he? W.]

It is a vicarage, valued together with St. Piran Arwothall in the
King’s Book [see Piran Arwothall before], and hath the same patron,
impropriator, and incumbent with that. I shall begin with the chief
estate in it,


THE MANOR OF TRETHEAGE,

――the fair town or dwelling. [The fair house. W.] And so it may be
well called, considering the country it lies in, as being for that
pleasantly situated on the river which runs under Ponsannowth or New
Bridge, and emptieth itself under Piran Arwothall church. This was
formerly a manor of large extent, but now strangely curtailed.

Of late years it hath been the seat of the family of Morton; the last
of which who lived here, John Morton, gent. who married ―――― the
daughter of John Wilton of Dunveth, gent. was oddly outed of it
(169..) by Nicholas Pearce; who having gotten a great deal of money in
Magdalen Ball in Gluvias, settled it on his son Nicholas Pearce,
lately dead, leaving by ―――― his wife, the daughter of ―――― Trewren,
esq. of Trewardreva, one son Nicholas Pearce, a minor, who is the
present lord of this manor. Morton’s arms were, Argent, a chevron
between three moorcocks Sable.


THE EDITOR.

The church and tower of this parish are handsome objects built of
granite, which abounds throughout all that district.

Mr. Lysons gives, as usual, on account of the ancient manors. The
manor of Kennal, he says, belonged in the reign of Edward the Second
to Matthew Penfern, afterwards to the Carminows, one of whose
coheiresses brought it to the Arundells of Lanherne; by whom, in the
year 1800, it was sold to three brothers of the name of Bath, who are
the present proprietors. The manor of Roseeth is the property of
Thomas Hocker, esq. the devisee of Thomas Reed, esq. The barton of
Tretheage is the residence of Mrs. Curgenven, widow of the late
proprietor, Captain Curgenven, of the Royal Navy. The barton of
Penalurick belongs to Mr. Hocker, and Stephen Ustick, esq. The bartons
of Treweek and Tresavren belonged to the family of Hawes, but now to
Mr. James Brown.

Tretheage, situated near the turnpike road leading from Truro to
Helston, has a very pleasing appearance in the midst of a country
almost bare of trees. About fifty or sixty years ago this place was
the residence of a gentleman called Tincombe, who had been a
practitioner of medicine, but retired to Tretheage, where either he or
his father had built the present house. He married a Miss Kniverton of
Tredreath in Lelant, but died without children.

Trevales has been for many years the residence of the late Mr. Thomas
Reed, and of his ancestors; who having been long what is termed good
livers in the parish, advanced themselves by successful adventures in
mines, and by conducting a tin smelting house in the parish of Perran
Arworthall. Mr. Thomas Reed never married, and devised the greater
part of his property to Mr. Hocker his near relation.

Mr. Lysons says, the church of Stithians was given by Edward the Black
Prince, to the abbey of Rewley near Oxford, in exchange for the manor
of Nettlebed. It appears from the printed documents relative to that
abbey, that Edmund Earl of Cornwall, in pursuance of his father’s
direction, Richard King of the Romans, founded Rewley Abbey in the
year 1280.

His charter, inter alia, has these words:

Sciant præsentes et futuri quod nos Edmundus, claræ memoriæ domini
Ricardi regis Alemanniæ filius, et Comes Cornubiæ, dedimus,
concessimus, et hac præsenti carta nostra confirmavimus Deo et
Ecclesiæ beatæ Mariæ de Regali-loco juxta Oxon. et Abbati inibi
commoranti, et quindecim Monachis capellanis ordinis Cisterciensis
sibi professis, pro anima Ricardi quondam Regis Alemanniæ patris
nostri divina celebrantibus, et eorum successoribus ibidem
commorantibus, Deo servientibus et imperpetuum servituris,
omnes terras et tenementa quæ habuimus in North Oseneye juxta Oxon ――――
cum Advocatione Ecclesiæ de Sancta Wendrona et aliis pertinentiis suis
in hundredo de Kerier in Cornubia. Preterea dedimus ―――― totum nemus quod
habuimus apud Netlebedde ――――

And in the Valor Ecclesiasticus, taken after the dissolution by Henry
the Eighth, is this entry:

  Com. Cornub.
  Wendrono et Stadyon, Firma Rector’ £22. 0_s._ 0_d._

But nothing appears relative to the exchange of Nettlebed for
Stithians.

The late vicar, the Rev. Edward Nankivell from St. Agnes, had been for
several years Chaplain to the Factory at Smyrna.

  Stithians measures 3987 statute acres.
  Annual value of the Real Property, as     £. _s._ _d._

    giving an increase of 47½ per cent. in 30 years.
  Present Vicar, the Rev. C. W. Woodley, presented by the Earl of
    Falmouth in 1829.


GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

With the exception of a small patch on its eastern extremity, this
parish is situated entirely on granite, affording varieties similar to
those of Gwennap, Redruth, Camborne, and Crowan, all of which are
intersected by beds of porphyry, called by the miners elvan courses.
The slate which occurs on the eastern side of this parish is
felspathic, resembling that of the adjoining parish of Gwennap.


     [1] There is no such name in Domesday Books; Mr. Hals must
     have misread Stratone or some similar name.




STOKE CLIMSLAND.


HALS.

Stoke Climsland is situate in the hundred of East, and hath upon the
north Lezant, west Southill, east Calstock and the Tamar River, south
Killington.

This parish and church take their name from the manor of Stow
Climsland in this parish aforesaid, and by that name it was taxed in
the Domesday Book 1087. It was first given by Orgar Duke of Devon, or
Elphrida his lady, to Tavistock Abbey in Devon, which he had founded.
(Dugdale’s Monasticon Anglicanum, page 360.) Afterwards it became the
possession of the Kings of England or Earls of Cornwall, and was by
King Edward III. incorporated into the Duchy of Cornwall 1336. (See
the charter under Lestwithiel.) And to remove an action at law out of
the Court Leet of this Duchy or Stannary Manor, or any other in Devon,
as I have elsewhere noted under Helleston, the writ must be thus
directed:――

Gardiano Stannarum Devon et Cornubiæ, Capitali Senescallo Ducatus sui
Cornubiæ, aut suo Deputat. ibidem. Et precipue sibi aut suo Deputat.
Senescallo infra manerium de Stow Climsland parcell. Ducatus Cornub.
pred. infra Com. Cornub. &c.

Of Hengiston Downs, King Egbright’s victory, and tin works in this
parish, I have spoken under Killington. And of this manor of
Climsland, and the park of Cari Bollock in this parish are mention
made in the Duke’s Charter aforesaid. Now the modern name
Cary-Bollock, I take to be only a corruption of Carow-Bollogk, female
deer of a stag, probably kept here in the Duke’s park, when brought
out of the forest of Dartmoor.

It appears from the ancient Survey of the Duchy of Cornwall in the
Exchequer, tempore Edward III. (and Blount’s Tenures, from thence also
extracted page 107), that the old tenure of this Duchy Manor of
Climsland or Clemsland, was villanage.

The manor of Rillaton in this parish, was invested with the
jurisdiction of a Court Leet, and is annexed to the Duchy of Stoke
Climsland, with all its privileges, as I am imformed. To remove an
action at law from which, the writ must be thus directed: Senescallo
Decanorum, Præposit. et liberis tenent. Manerii sui de Rillaton,
parcell. Ducatus sui Cornub. in Com. Cornub. salutem.

In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester 1294,
Ecclesia de Stoke, in decanatu de Est, was rated at cvi_s._ viii_d._
In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, Stoke Climsland Church was valued at
£40, the patronage in the Dukes and Earls of Cornwall that endowed it;
the incumbent      ; and the parish rated to the four shillings per
pound Land Tax, for one year 1696, £424. 14_s._


TONKIN AND WHITAKER.

Is situate in the hundred of East, and hath to the west Linkinhorne
and Southill, to the north Lezant, to the east the river Tamar, to the
south Kellington and Calstock.

Stoke is the same with Stow, a place; and hath the adjunct of
Climsland from the great duchy manor here.

[The word is Clema’s land, Clemmow being a personal name still in
Cornwall, pronounced there Clemma, and meaning Clement. W.]

This is a rectory, valued in the King’s Book £40; the patronage in the
Duke of Cornwall, the incumbent Mr. John Heron.


THE MANOR OF CLIMSLAND.

This, in the extent of Cornish acres, 12 Edw. I. (Carew, fol. 48) is
valued in fifty, by the name of Clemysland, in which I suppose is
comprehended the park of Carybullock belonging thereto. This being
one of the ancient manors belonging to the Duke of Cornwall, and so
settled by Edward the Third on his son Edward the Black Prince in the
eleventh year of his reign, I shall say no more of it here, but come
to the most remarkable places in it; and first to


CARY BULLOCK PARK.

So Mr. Carew calls it (fol. 115), “Carybullock,” saith he “some time a
parke of the Duke’s, but best brooking that name now it hath lost its
qualitie, through exchanging deere for bullocks.” Sir John Dodridge
(History of Wal. and Corn. p. 84, &c.) calls it Kerry-bollock; but
what if I should say the right name was Caer-bollick, and did signify
the intrenched inclosure on the river?――the situation would exactly
answer this derivation; but, since the writing of this, I find
(Salmon’s Survey of England, vol. II. p. 714) that Mr. Baxter, in
Bullœum or Buelt (according to Mr. Camden) in Brecknockshire,
interprets it to be Caer-Bulack or “Principis Domus,” the Prince’s
town or inclosure, which (if true) would suit very well with this.
[This is a judicious application of one of Mr. Baxter’s etymons to the
present place; Bulœum, as Baxter says the name is written in the
superior copies of Ptolemy’s Geography, Baxter thinks with Lhwyd to be
the modern Caer Phylli. Bel, he says, is properly a head, and
figuratively a king. This makes Caer Bulack, “quod ara est Regia.”
“Certe,” he adds, very usefully, “vel ipsi novimus in Montegomerica
nostra Regione Domunculam antiqua Rhesi filii Theodori progenie
nobilem;” ennobled by the birth of Rhys ap Tudor, “vel hodie nominatam
Caer Bulach, tanquam Principis dicatur domus.” In proof of Mr.
Baxter’s seemingly unfounded interpretation of Bel, Bol, or Bul, a
head and a king, we may observe the name of the sun Beal, in the
Beal-tine of Cornwall and the Beil-tine of Ireland for the fires on
May-day in honour of the sun; Beal, Bil (I.) a mouth; Bil (W.) the
mouth of the vessel; Bollog (I.) a shell, a scull, the top of the
head; Fal (I.) a king or great personage; Folar (I.) to command;
Folarthoir (I.) an emperor; Folladh (I.) government; Ffelaig (W.) a
general, a captain, a leader; Belee, plural Belein (C.) a priest or
priests; Belek (A.) a priest; Pol-kil (C.) the hinder part of the head
or the top of the neck; and in Belinus, Cunobelinus, and the
promontory Bolerium of the ancient Britons; and Caer-Bulack, as a
royal house is called equally in Wales, would in the Cornish mode of
pronunciation be Cerry-bullock, as Car-hayes is Carry-hayes at
present. W.]

Which since its being disparked by King Henry VIII. has been set out
at lease to several gentlemen, and is now held by Sir John Coryton, of
Newton, Bart.


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Lysons enumerates the manors; the principal of which are the manor
giving its name to the parish, part of the ancient possessions of the
duchy of Cornwall, and the manor of Climsland Prior, extending into
Linkinhorne, which formerly belonged to the priory of Launceston; and
after the general dissolution was given with many other manors forming
the modern duchy in exchange for the honour and castle of Wallingford.

Carrybullock, disparked by King Henry the Eighth, was held under a
lease from the duchy by Mr. Weston Helyar.

Mr. Lysons mentions other manors and bartons of no general interest,
with the exception of Whiteford, on account of its late proprietor.

Mr. John Call was one of those individuals of whom the country
adjacent to the Tamar may be proud.

It is understood that he was born on the Devonshire side of the river,
and various tales are related of his first advancement in life; these
are usually little worthy of attention, and are most frequently
exaggerated from an innate love of the marvellous. Mr. Call having
proceeded to India as an engineer, most eminently distinguished
himself in that field, more ample than any recorded in history for the
successful display of abilities, and active persevering industry; and
where, for the first time since distinct nations have been brought
into contact by the improvements of navigation and of commerce, the
vanquished have become debtors to the more successful party for
protection, for the administration of equal laws and of impartial
justice, and for the introduction among the inhabitants of the spirit
of honour, the glory of modern Europe.

Here Mr. Call having served his country, and justly acquired the
legitimate rewards of fame and of ample fortune, retired to his native
country, purchased Whiteford, which he converted into a handsome seat,
and much other property in the neighbourhood. His active mind could
not, however, remain unemployed; he became a banker, a manufacturer of
plate-glass, and a copper smelter. He served the office of Sheriff for
Cornwall in the year 1771; afterwards represented Callington in
Parliament, and was finally created a Baronet.

It may be interesting to insert some miscellaneous information which
the gentleman communicated to this Editor in Oct. 1798, while he
resided for a few weeks or months at Marazion, and which was
imperfectly noted at the time.

He received the whole of his education as an engineer under Mr.
Benjamin Robins, F.R.S. Engineer-General to the East India Company,
the well-known author of various mathematical tracts, and especially
of a treatise on the principles of gunnery, the force of gunpowder,
and on the resisting power of the air to bodies in swift and in slow
motion. This treatise his pupil Mr. Call transcribed for the press;
and no doubt he assisted in making those admirable experiments and
mathematical deductions from them, which have given a new character
to this important branch of military science, as well in respect to
small arms, and more especially to rifled barrels, as to cannon and
mortars, in reference to which Mr. Call made an additional improvement
so as to discharge shells from long guns by placing the fusee
internally, with its orifice concentric to the surface instead of
projecting, and thereby securing it from injury as the shot rolls in
passing out of the gun.

He successfully defended Fort St. George at Madras; and in 1761
conducted the siege of Pondicherry, which ended in the capture of that
place, the chief seat of the French power in India. Sir John Call also
mentions as a curious circumstance, illustrative of the decisive
effects produced by the well-directed fire of field artillery, that in
a battle where he was present (query, was it Plassey?) a shell from an
howitzer caused the explosion of a carriage containing gunpowder,
which produced some confusion and disorder in the enemy’s line; the
commander instantly ordered a charge, and the victory was decided.

And he related another anecdote on a very different subject. That
having with other amateurs of astronomy made preparations for
observing the transit of Venus by constructing a temporary observatory
on the flat roof of the government house at Madras, they waited with
impatience after a long continuance of fine weather, for the important
3d of June 1761, when a most violent storm on the preceding night
injured or destroyed their instruments so as to render any observation
impossible; and, what added to their mortification and disappointment,
a long continuance of fine weather succeeded this tempest.

Whiteford is now the residence of his son Sir William Pratt Call, who
was Sheriff of Cornwall in 1807, and has a family.

The manor of Climsland Prior paid to the monastery at Launceston, the
free tenants 8_s._ the conventionary tenants £6. 13_s._ 9_d._

The advowson of the living seems to have been appurtenant to the
ancient duchy manor of Stokeclimsland.

  This parish measures 7973 statute acres.

  Present Rector the Rev. C. Lethbridge, presented by the Prince of

THE GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

The southern part of this parish includes the whole of the granite of
Kit Hill, which is for the most part of the coarse-grained crystalline
variety so common in Cornwall. Proceeding northward, the rest of the
parish is found to belong to the schistose rocks; those next to the
granite are felspathic, and contain beds of porphyry, but those more
remote, which form the greater part, must be referred to the
calcareous series.




STRATTON.


HALS.

Stratton is now situate in the hundred from thence denominated
Stratton, (formerly Major Trigshire Cantred) and hath upon the north
Powghill, east Lancells, south Marhamchurch, west Bude Bay and the
Channel. As for the name, after the Saxon, it is compounded of
Strat-ton, i. e. street or highway town, a lane or public road,
derived perhaps from the Latin strata, a street or Roman highway; and
by this name of Stratton, it is taxed in the Domesday Book 1087. In
the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester aforesaid
1294, Ecclesia de Stratone, in decanatu de Major Trigshire, was rated
£7. 13_s._ 4_d._ vicar’ ibidem 20_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, it
was valued £10. 11_s._ 6½_d._ The patronage formerly in the prior
of Lancells, who endowed it as I am informed; now ――――; the
incumbent ――――; and the rectory in possession of ――――; and the
parish rated to the four shillings per pound Land Tax 1696, £290.
18_s._ The town of Stratton is privileged with a weekly market on
Tuesdays, and Fairs annually on the 8th of May, 28th of October, and
30th of November.

Thurlebere, Thurle-ber, bir, in this parish, was another district
taxed in the Domesday Book 1087, from whence was denominated an
ancient family of gentlemen surnamed De Thurlebere, or whurle-ber; i.
e. cast, whirle, twine, the spit, short spear, dart, pike, lance or
broach, for so the terminative particle ber, bere, bir, indifferently
signifies. See Floyd upon Obelus. In this place John de Thurlebere
held by the tenure of knight’s service, twenty pounds per annum in
lands, tempore Edward III. and John de Cobham had likewise in it by
the same tenure the third part of a knight’s fee. (Survey of Cornwall,
page 40 and 52.) One of those Thurleberes married the daughter and
heir of Thomas de Waunford, Lord of Ebbingford, alias Efford in Bude
Bay, and afterwards made it the place of their residence, tempore
Henry V. till at length the daughter and heir of those Thurleberes was
married to Arundell of Trerice, tempore Edward IV. whose posterity are
now in possession thereof.

Near this town of Stratton, in a field called ―――― there happened on
Tuesday the 16th of May 1643, a sore and bloody battle between the
army or soldiers of King Charles I. under conduct of his general Sir
Ralph Hopton, knight, and Major-General Chudleigh, Commander of the
Parliament Forces in those parts; where, after a sharp contest from
five of the clock in the morning till three in the afternoon, the
fight or success continued doubtful: so that Sir Bevill Grenvill,
knight, was unhorsed, and his troop put into disorder by Chudleigh’s
men; and the king’s party had been totally overthrown had not Sir
John Berkeley with great courage and conduct led up the musketeers he
commanded to their seasonable assistance, maintaining the charge with
that stoutness, that the Parliament army, after the loss of about
three hundred soldiers, gave ground, and Chudleigh was taken prisoner,
with seventeen hundred more of his party. The king’s army having
sustained the loss of about two hundred persons, had the plunder of
the field, wherein they found seventeen brass pieces of ordinance,
seventy barrels of powder, three thousand arms, with ammunition,
provision, and biscuit, proportionable.

The country people hereabout will tell you, that the field aforesaid
where this battle was fought, being afterwards tilled to barley,
produced sixty bushels of corn, Winchester measure, in every acre (See
St. Sennan); the fertility whereof is ascribed to the virtue the lands
received from the blood of slain men and horses, and the trampling of
their feet in this battle.

For this victory, Sir Ralph Hopton, knight of the Bath, was by Letters
Patent dated at Oxford, 4th September, 19 Charles I. by him created
Baron Hopton of Stratton; but he dying without issue at Bruges in
Flanders, King Charles the Second, in the 12th year of his reign,
conferred that honorary title of Straton, upon Sir John Berkeley
aforesaid (younger son of Sir Maurice Barkley of Bruton in Somerset)
who also was one of the four managers of martial affairs in Cornwall
for King Charles I. together with the Lord Mohun, Sir Ralph Hopton
aforesaid, and Colonel Ashburnham; he also reduced Exeter, and was
made governor thereof, and gave for his arms in a field Ruby a chevron
Ermine, between ten crosses pattee Pearl, six in chief, and four in
base.

The ancestor of this Sir Ralph Hopton, knight, came out of France or
Normandy, a soldier or huntsman under William the Conqueror 1066, by
the name of the Norman Hunter, to whom he gave Hopton in the Hole
in the county of Salop, (from whence afterwards he was denominated De
Hopton,) which he conveyed to him and his heirs, and failing the
remainder, to the crown.

Sir William de Mohun, one of the founders of the Abbey of Newham in
Devon, 30th Henry III. gave to the same the bailiwick of the hundred
of Axminster, and also the manor of Norton, with the hundred and
bailiwick of Major Trigshire, now Stratton in Cornwall. (See Prince’s
Worthies of Devon.) After the dissolution of Newham Abbey, 26 Henry
VIII. it fell to the crown, from whence the present titles of those
bailiwicks are derived.


TONKIN.

Stratton is in the hundred of the same name, and is bounded to the
west by the north or Severn channel and Poughill, to the north by
Kilkhampton, to the east by the river Tamar, to the south by Lancells,
Marhamchurch, and Poundstock.

As for the name, it is no other than the street town, from its
consisting chiefly of one street, and being a great thoroughfare, but
more probably from a Roman Way. [from the Roman stratum or street
certainly, on which it lies. W.]

In anno 1291, 20 Edward I. the rectory was valued (Tax. Ben.) at £7.
13_s._ 4_d._ being appropriated to the Priory of Lanceston; and the
vicar at 20_s._

This church is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Book, at £10. 11_s._
6_d._ ob.; the patronage in the crown.


THE MANOR OF STRATTON.

In Domesday Book Stratone was one of the manors given by William the
Conqueror to his half-brother Robert Earl of Morton, when he made him
Earl of Cornwall.

In the extent of Cornish acres, 12 Edward I. (Carew, fol. 48), it
is valued in 21. In 3 of Henry IV. (Id. fol. 40 b.) Ranulph de Albo
Monasterio (Whitchurch) [a family in this parish, formerly called
Blancminster] held here one knight’s fee.


THE EDITOR.

Stratton is a neat although a small town. Before the great roads were
made through the middle of the county along the central ridge and
above the formation of deep valleys, a northern entrance into Cornwall
passed through this town.

Mr. Lysons says, that the manors of Stratton and Binomy belonged at an
early period to an ancient family called in various records De Albo
Monasterio, or Blanchminster and Whitminster. The property passed by
an heiress to the family of Hiwis; and Emmeline the heiress of Hiwis,
married first, Sir Robert Tresilian, Chief Justice of the King’s
Bench, who lost his life through popular violence in the year 1388;
and secondly, Sir John Coleshill.

Sir John Coleshill, son of the above, was killed at the battle of
Agincourt in 1415, leaving an infant son; after whose death in 1483
the large estates of this family passed by a female heir to a younger
branch of the Arundells, and were afterwards divided among its
numerous representatives.

The manors of Binomy and Stratton having been purchased by the
Grenvilles, have descended to Lord Carteret.

The manor of Efford or Ebbingford, belonged at an early period to the
Waumfords or Waunfords, from whom it passed by a coheiress to the
Durants, and from them by an heiress to the Arundells of Trerice, from
whom it is derived to Sir Thomas Dyke Acland of Killerton.

The church and tower are fine specimens of the style of architecture
prevalent throughout the West of England. There are also several
monuments; and Mr. Lysons quotes from the register, the baptism
and death of Elizabeth Cornish, who lived between these two dates, 113
years 4 months and 13 days. She was baptized in Oct. 1578, and was
buried March the 10th, 1691.

The great tithes and the manor denominated Sanctuary, or Sentery, as
was usual with such professions, belonged to the Priory of Launceston.
After the dissolution of monasteries, this manor carrying with it the
advowson of the vicarage, was annexed to the Duchy of Cornwall, with
various other lands, in exchange for the honour and castle of
Wallingford.

The great tithes were granted to the family of Wadder, but they have
since been sold in parcels.

The place of most importance in this parish after the town, is Bude.
This place has always given some shelter for boats, and afforded sand
for manure. It has within about twenty years received most essential
improvement. A pier or jetty has been built out into the sea, and a
canal with inclined planes has been made for the conveyance of coal
and merchandise into the country, and for bringing down slate and the
produce of land; but above all, for supplying sand as a manure. The
sand at this place consists entirely of powdered shells, as it does
along the whole north coast of Cornwall, and it is found to be so
efficacious for imparting fertility to clay lands, that it is
frequently conveyed in wheel carriages to so great a distance from the
coast, as to require the draft cattle remaining out a night.

The boats used on this coast are formed like boxes, having within each
side a closed trough containing two wheels, which project a very
little beyond the lower surface. These wheels are consequently no
impediment to the boats floating on the water, but they enable them to
ascend or to descend the inclined planes with the facility of other
carriages. See a Treatise on the Improvement of Canal Navigation, by
R. Fulton, 1 vol. 4to, London, 1796, p. 32, where this plan is
suggested perhaps for the first time.

Bude is also become a place of resort for sea bathing; and several
houses for the accommodation of strangers have been built by Sir
Thomas Acland, so that it has acquired the well-known appellation of a
watering place.

The Editor having omitted through inadvertence to notice in the
adjoining parish of Launcels a gentleman one of the most respectable
in the north-eastern part of Cornwall, hopes that he may be excused
for inserting his name here.

Launcells House, a modern building on the spot where formerly stood
the residence of the Chamonds, is the seat of George Boughton Kingdon,
esq. respected by every one who has the honour of his acquaintance,
for scientific and literary acquirements, and esteemed as a benefactor
to his neighbourhood in the characters of a magistrate and of a worthy
country gentleman.

An instance of longevity has been given in the parish of Stratton, and
an occurrence has been stated to the Editor, which proves that
Launcells participates in the general healthiness of that district.

It seems the identical six men who rang the bells in Launcells tower
on the Coronation of King George the Third, rang them also on the day
of his jubilee, having continued the parish ringers during all that
time.

Their names are recorded in the parish, and may therefore be inserted
here.

John Lyle, Henry Cadd, Richard Venning, John Ham, John Allin, Richard
Hayman.

And of these, John Lyle rang at the accession of King George the
Fourth, and of his present Majesty King William the Fourth, being then
in his ninety-sixth year: but all are now gathered to their fathers.

And here, as appertaining more to the general character of the country
than to any particular parish, in reference to the terrific cliffs
which surround this coast, it may be proper to state a fact
communicated by Mr. Kingdon; that, from actual measurement taken by
himself, Hennacleve cliff on Westcot Down, in the parish of
Moorwinstow, is 430 feet above the level of the beach.

  Stratton measures 2300 statute acres.

GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

This parish, like the adjoining one of Kilkhampton, is composed of
compact and of schistose varieties of dunstone, occasionally
interspersed with beds of calcareous schist and limestone.




TALLAND.


HALS.

Talland is situate in the hundred of West, and hath upon the north
Pelynt, east the haven or harbour of Looe, south the British Channel,
west Lansallas.

In the Domesday Book 1087, this district was taxed under the
Jurisdiction and in the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and
Winchester, into the value of Cornish Benefices, Ecclesia de Talland
1294, was rated at £8. vicar ejusdem 40_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition
1521, it was not valued or named. The patronage is in ――――; the
incumbent ――――; and the rectory in possession of ――――; and the
parish rated to the four shillings per pound Land Tax 1696, for one
year, £156. 15_s._ But if the word Talland be compounded only of
Ta-land, it signifies the good acceptable land.

West Looe, alias Porth-Vyan, Porth-Byan, alias Porth-Bichan or
Porth-Bigan, or Pigan, all synonymous words in British, only varied by
the dialect, which signifies the little gate, cove, creek, or
entrance, according to the natural circumstances of the place, where
daily the sea makes its flux and reflux some miles up into the land or
country, through a narrow passage betwixt the parishes of St. Martin’s
and Talland aforesaid, over which is a curious and strong stone bridge
of about twelve arches, which as an artificial ligament fastens those
parishes and the towns of East and West Looe together; which latter,
by the name of Porth Byhan, was taxed as the voke lands of a
privileged borough or manor in the Domesday Book as aforesaid, 1087,
and still known by the name of Porth Byan or West Looe; and by this
name all its privileges were confirmed, and the town incorporated 16th
of Queen Elizabeth, by the name of the mayor and burgesses thereof,
consisting of a mayor and twelve burgesses.

The members of Parliament are elected by the majority of freemen; and
the precept from the Sheriff, or the writ for electing those members,
as also for removal of an action at law depending in this court to a
superior, must be thus directed:

Majori et Liberis Burgensibus Burgi sui de Porth Byan, alias West
Looe, in comitatu Cornubiæ, salutem.

And as a further testimony of its present grandeur, though I take it
much inferior in riches and building to the late erected town of East
Looe, it hath ever, and still stands as a noun substantive in the
Exchequer, and was rated to the four shillings per pound Land Tax for
one year, by the name of the borough of West Looe, £15. 13_s._ 1696.
Whereas, the borough of Michell falls under the tax of Newlan and St.
Enedor parishes; Bosinney or Trevena under Dundagell; and Camelford
under Lantegles, in the Exchequer, without name or value.

This town is also privileged with a fair yearly, on 25th April, and
markets weekly.

[Illustration: _Seal of “Portuan otherwys called West Lo.”_]

The arms of this borough are, a soldier or man of war Proper, with a
bow in one hand, and an arrow in the other. For the etymology of Looe,
see East Looe.

This manor of borough of Porthbyan, as I am informed, was heretofore
villanage tenure, and pertained to the Bodrigans.

In this town of West Looe, was born Charles Wager, as I am informed,
son of ―――― Wager; who, being placed an apprentice at sea, grew so
expert in navigation and the mathematics, that he became a great
master in that art; and being after in the sea fight between Queen
Anne and the French and Spaniards, he behaved himself so well in his
valour and conduct, though to the loss of one of his arms, that by
Queen Anne or King George he was afterwards knighted, and preferred,
not only to the command of a third-rate frigate, but made Admiral of
the Red Squadron of Men of War, for him and his son King George the
Second, in the Baltic Sea and British Channel 1729.

In this parish stands the barton and manor of Killygarth. This
lordship, tempore Edward III. was the lands of the Sergeaulxes, and
particularly of Richard de Sergeaulx, who is mentioned in Mr. Carew’s
Survey of Cornwall, page 52, 25 Edward III. then to have held in
Cornwall, by the tenure of knight service, £20 per annum in lands and
tenements. His son Sir Richard Sergeaulx, knight, was Sheriff of
Cornwall, 12 Richard II. whose son Richard Sergeaulx held in
Killygarth, Lanreth, and Lansulhas, three little knight’s fees of land
of Morton, as also two fees and a half in Colquite, (idem librum, p.
42,) 3 Henry IV. (five knight’s fees was four thousand acres of land);
who dying without issue male, his three daughters or sisters became
his heirs, and were married to Seyntaubyn and Beare of Cornwall, and
Marney of Essex, as I am informed; after whose decease, Beare became
seised of this lordship, was married and had issue Thomas Beare, esq.
Sheriff of Cornwall, 4th of Edward IV.; and William Beare, Sheriff of
Cornwall, 6th of Edward IV. who gave the bear for his arms, the
colours I know not.

This William Beare had issue only one daughter, married to Peter
Bevill, a younger brother of John Bevill of Gwarnack, esq. who had
issue by her, John Bevill, esq. that married Mileton of Pengersick;
who by her had issue Sir William Bevill, knight, Sheriff of Cornwall,
31st of Elizabeth 1591, that married ――――, but had no legitimate
issue: so that his brother Philip’s daughter Elizabeth became his
heir, and was married to Sir Bernard Grenvill of Stowe, knight, father
of Sir Bevill Grenvill, knight, that sold this lordship of Killygarth
to Killygrew, from whom it passed to Hallet, and from him to Kendall
of Middlesex, now in possession thereof.

The arms of Bevill are Ermine, a bull passant Sable.

Hen-darsike in this parish is a contraction of Hen-dowers-ike, i. e.
old, ancient cove, creek, lake, or bosom of waters, lands probably
under such circumstances. It is the dwelling of John Morth, esq. that
married ―――― Buller of Morvall; his father William Morth was Sheriff
of Cornwall 2 William III.

This family in genteel degree hath flourished in this place for many
generations, though I am not informed as to the particulars.

In this parish at Trenake is the dwelling of Thomas Achym, gent. which
family hath flourished in those parts for many generations in genteel
degree, and give for their Arms, in a field Argent a maunch mantail
Sable, within a bordure of the First charged with cinquefoiles of the
Second. If the name of Achym be a monosyllable, it signifies in
British a descendant, issue, offspring, or progeny.


TONKIN AND WHITAKER.

Talland is in the hundred of West, and is bounded to the west by
Launcells, to the north by Pelynt, to the east by Looe river, and to
the south by the British Channel.

This is a vicarage, not valued in the King’s Book; but in anno 1291,
20 Edward I. it was valued, the rectory (Tax. Benef.) at £8, it having
been appropriated to Launceston Priory; and the vicarage at 40_s._ The
patronage is in Archdeacon Kendall, and the incumbent Mr. Doidge.

Mr. Thomas Kendall had a younger brother, Colonel James Kendall, who
was Governor of Barbadoes in ――――, one of the lords of the Admiralty
under Queen Anne, and a member of Parliament in several Parliaments:
he died suddenly, unmarried, July the 10th, 1708, at his house in
London, very rich, and left a natural son by Mrs. Colliton, who now
goes by the name of Kendall.

Under Killygarth is Porth-Para, vulgo Polpera, id est, the sandy port.
“A little to the eastwards,” saith Carew, (fol. 131 b.) “from
Killygarth, the poor harbour and village of Polpera coucheth between
two steep hills:” [from which circumstance, as I know of no word
similar to para in the Cornish, and signifying sand in English, I
might more aptly take the name to be (as Carew writes, and as usage
sounds it) pol-pera, pol-poran, the close or strait pool. But the fact
is, that the name is purely English, with a Cornish pronunciation. “By
est, the haven of Fowey upon a iiii miles of,” says Leland, Itin. vii.
121), “ys a smawle creke cawled Paul _Pier_, and a symple and poore
village upon the est side of the same, of fisharmen, and the bootes
ther fishing by [be] saved by a _Peere_ or key. In the est side of
this Paul Pirre,” &c. And since the cove is still written as Leland
first writes it, “Paul Pier” (See Borlase’s map) so is it obviously
allusive to the “Pier or Key,” which he mentions at it. W.] where
plenty of fish is vented to the fish-drivers, whom we call “jowters”
[men who jolt about with horses and panniers to sell fish]. And
between this and the church is Porth Talland.

The manor by the name of Tallan, in the extent of Cornish acres, 12
Edward I. is valued in six. (Carew, fol. 49.) [Here let me just note
what Mr. Tonkin has omitted, the etymology of the name of the parish,
and of the manor. Written originally Tallan, and gaining only the
final _T._ by vicious pronunciation, the manor and the parish derive
their name apparently from the church; and this takes its appellation
from its site, I apprehend, being seated upon the high bold shore of
the channel, and so being called Tal-Lan, the high church or the
church upon a high position; just as Tal-ar (C.) signifies a high land
or headland, and as a high rock in St. Allen is called Tal-Carne. W.]
Of the ancient lords of which manor I shall give a full account on the
other side [see towards the end]; and only take notice here, that
within it, and

Next is the church. Near this the family of Murth hath long dwelt. “In
the same parish where Killingworth is seated,” saith Carew, (fol.
131), “Master Murth inheriteth a house and demaynes: hee maried
Treffry: his father Tregose. One of their ancestors, within the memory
of a next neighbour to the house called Prake (burdened with a hundred
and ten yeeres of age), entertained a British [a Bréton] miller; as
that people, for such idle occupations, prove more handie than our
owne. But this fellow’s service befell commodious in the worst sense.
For when, not long after his acceptance, warres grew between us and
France, he stealeth over into his country, returneth privily backe
againe with a French crew, surpriseth suddenly his master and his
guests at a Christmas supper, carrieth them speedily unto Lantreghey,”
[or the church town in Bretagne] “and forceth the gentleman to redeeme
his inlargement with a sale of a great part of his revenues.”

The present owner is Jeffry Murth, esq. who is a Justice of the Peace,
and a very honest good-natured gentleman: he is married to the
daughter of John Oxenham, of Oxenham in Devon, esq. His father, John
Murth, esq. married Elizabeth, the daughter of John Buller, of Morval,
esq. Arms of Murth, Sable, a chevron between three falcon’s legs
erased, with bells, Or.


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Bond has given so good and ample an account of this parish in his
Topographical and Historical Sketches of East and West Looe, 1 vol.
8vo. printed by Nichols, 25, Parliament Street, Westminster, 1823,
that the whole which is addative to Hals and Tonkin, is here inserted.

West Looe is situated in the parish of Talland, within which parish is
a hamlet called Lemain, and part of West Looe lies in this hamlet. On
the barton of Portlooe in the parish of Talland, just opposite Looe
Island, was a cell of Benedictine Monks, called Lammana, subject to
the Abbey of Glastonbury, to which the site appears to have been given
by the ancestors of Hastulus de Solenny; there are some remains of the
chapel still in existence.

I measured this chapel on the 13th of April 1815, and found it, within
the walls, about forty-seven feet long by twenty-four wide. About
three or four hundred yards to the eastward of the chapel are the
remains of some antient building, perhaps that in which the monks
dwelt. The remains of the eastern end wall thereof, at present eight
or ten feet high, have two very narrow windows or openings, still in
being. The situation of this chapel and house is very pleasant; they
lie in a sort of natural amphitheatre, sheltered from the north winds
by high land.

In Hearne’s Appendix to Adam de Domerham, is a grant of Hastulus de
Solenny, confirming the Island of St. Michael de Lammana (most
probably that of St. George opposite Looe) to the Monks of
Glastonbury; a grant of Roger Fitzwilliam quitting claim to the lands
of Lammana, which he held for life under the Church of Glastonbury
(reserving the house which Mabil his sister occupied), and one of
Richard Earl of Cornwall, granting the Monks a licence to farm out the
church, and the Island of Lammana. It appears that Abbat Michael,
about the middle of the thirteenth century, leased it to the
Sacristary of the Convent. The Free Chapel of La Mayne in Cornwall,
was granted to Edward Bostock, 5th Jac.――_Lysons’s Mag. Brit._

Two of the grants noticed by Mr. Lysons, are printed in the New
Edition of Dugdale’s Monasticon.

MIDMAIN ROCK.――PORTNADLER BAY.

Between the main land and Looe Island stands a rock, higher than the
surrounding ones, which is called Midmain or Magmain. Small vessels
frequently pass between the island and the main land, when the tide is
in. An imaginary line drawn from Looe Island westward, to a high rock
called horestone or orestone, about a mile distant, would form the
outer boundary of a piece of water called Portnadler Bay; from whence
the name is derived I know not.


CORPORATION.

Queen Elizabeth incorporated West Looe 14th February 1574, in the
sixteenth year of her reign, by the name of Mayor and Burgesses of the
Borough of Portbyhan, otherwise West Looe, in the county of Cornwall.
Twelve chief burgesses were appointed by this charter. The mayor is
elected from the Chief Burgesses, by their votes and the votes of the
Free Burgesses, on Michaelmas-day annually, between nine and twelve of
the clock in the forenoon, and then sworn into office. The mayor is
also a Justice of the Peace, as is likewise the steward. The mayor has
no power to appoint a deputy. The steward, however, has such an
authority; but his deputy is not a Justice of the Peace.


WEST LOOE DOWN.――GIANT’S HEDGE OR MOUND.

Just above the houses (the intermediate space filled up with gardens
and orchards) is a common or down, called West Looe Down, of near a
hundred acres, on which are the remains of a mound of earth that runs
many miles across the country, and is noticed by Borlase, who, from
its extent and other circumstances, supposed it to be a Roman work.
His account of it as follows: “That the Romans had ways in the eastern
parts of the county about Loo and Lostwithiel, the following antient
work, shewn me by the Rev. Mr. Howell, Rector of Lanreath (June 25 and
26, 1756), will abundantly confirm. It is called the Giant’s Hedge, a
large mound, which reaches from the valley in which the Boroughs of
East and West Looe are situated, to Leryn, on the river Fowey. It is
first visible on West Looe Down, about two hundred paces above the
Mills; whence it runs to Kilminarth Woods; from and through them to
Trelawn Wood, about three hundred paces above Trelawn Mill; then
through Little Larnick to the barton of Hall, in which there are two
circular encampments, about four hundred paces to the north of it;
thence quite through the said barton, making the northern boundary of
fields to the glebe of Pelynt Vicarage, called Furze Park; then cross
the barton of Tregarrick; and thence, through the north grounds of
Tresassen and Polventon, to the glebe lands of the rectory of
Lanreath, where I measured it seven feet high and twenty feet wide at
a medium; thence it stretches through the tenement of Wyllacombe to
Trebant Water; whence it proceeds, through the barton of Longunnet and
some small tenements, to Leryn; from which there is a fair dry down,
called St. Winnow Down, leading north along to Lostwithiel. This
risbank, or mound, ranges up hill and down hill indifferently; has
no visible ditch continued on any brow of a hill, as intrenchments
always have; there is no hollow, or foss, on one side more than the
other; it is about seven miles long, and tends straight from Looe to
Leryn Creek, in the direct line from Looe to Lostwithiel. By all these
properties, its height and breadth, in wanting the fosses of
fortification, its straightness and length, the grandeur of the
design, and the labour of execution, I judge that it can be nothing
less than a Roman work. In this supposition I am the more confirmed,
first, because several Roman coins have been found on the banks of
Fowey river (as see “Antiquities of Cornwall,” p. 282), and, as I have
been informed, also in the run of this notable work; secondly, by its
tendency to the first ford over the navigable river of Fowey; for it
must be observed that the Romans, thoroughly sensible of the delays
and hazards of crossing friths and arms of the sea, and the danger of
bridges getting into the possession of the natives, were equally
averse both to bridges and passing large rivers; they had therefore in
constant view the nearest and most commodious fords of rivers, and
directed their roads accordingly. Now near Leryn Creek, where the work
ends, there is a ford, and no where below is the river Fowey fordable;
which plainly accounts for their conveying this road so high up the
country, that it might at once convey their troops towards their
station at Lostwithiel, and afford them a safe passage over the river
Fowey into the western parts, through Grampont and Truro.”

Borlase also, in his Natural History, says, “There are the remains of
a causey between Liskeard and Looe, near Polgover, the seat of Mr.
Mayow, which, as well as the cross road from Dulo to Hessenford,
vulgar tradition makes to be Roman.” This causey I have never been
able to find out.

The above-mentioned mound is first visible directly above Looe bridge;
so that, if a line was drawn west, as the bridge tends, it would come
to it at the head of a field called Bridgend meadow, where a small
orchard is planted. There is a very visible ditch all along West Looe
Down to the north of the rampart. On the barton of Hall, however, the
ditch is to the south of the rampart. This rampart on the barton of
Hall is at least fifteen feet high and about twenty feet thick at the
base. About four hundred paces north of it, as Borlase says, there are
two apparently (though not perfectly, as I was informed by Captain
Dawson, who assisted in taking the Trigonometrical Survey, under
Colonel Mudge) circular encampments, situated in a field called Berry
Park. Berry Park contains about eighteen acres, and may be termed a
tongue of land. It has a valley on each side, and also at the bottom.
Across the isthmus, if I may so term it, of this tongue of land, runs
the mound, protecting that part of the field which the valleys do not
extend to. The circles (or rings, as they are now called by the
tenant) consist of one entire circle of about 122 paces diameter,
surrounded with a rampart, ditch, and breast-work; the height of which
rampart, from the bottom of the ditch, is, I imagine, upwards of
fifteen feet, and must originally have been much higher. This circle
has but one gateway into it, which is guarded by mounds without
ditches, running upwards of fifty feet into the circle. The part of
this circle where the gateway is, is surrounded by about three fourths
of another circle, whose sweep, had it been continued, would have
intersected the inner circle; but the southern part of this outermost
circle, when it comes within twenty or thirty feet of the inner, falls
into the segment of another circle, which runs parallel to the inner
circle, leaving a platform of about fifty feet breadth between the two
ditches, and surrounding about a third part of the inner circle. From
the gateway of the inner to the opposite point of the outward circle,
is about 144 paces, which may be about three fourths of the diameter.
The outer circle has a similar rampart, ditch, and breast-work with
the inner circle, and one gateway, which is not quite opposite that
of the former. These circles command very fine prospects both of land
and sea. Rame Head and the entrance into Plymouth are visible from
Berry Park. You can see these circles from Bindown Hill with the naked
eye; and from the elevation of that hill you look down on them so as
to see their areas.

In a field a short distance south-west of Pelynt church-town, and
about half a mile in a direct line from the said circles, are many
barrows. The field in which they are, is I believe, called the The
Five Barrows. At the bottom of this field is a highway, leading from
Pelynt Church-town to the Fowey road. In this highway, just at the
bottom of the said field, a few years since, a grave was discovered by
some men mending the highway. It was formed by four stones on their
edges, and a covering stone. In this kestvaen was an urn, with burnt
ashes in it; and round the urn were piled, in a regular manner, the
unburnt remains of human bones. I went to Pelynt purposely to see this
curiosity, but found the grave had been filled up, and its contents
buried. The urn was described to me by a man who saw it as having
ornaments of flowers and leaves on its outside, and that it fell into
sheards when touched. I could not learn that any coin or other thing
was found in the urn or grave; indeed, I fancy there was a lack of
curiosity in all concerned.

Part of the mound on West Looe Down has been from time to time dug
down, to obtain earth for building and plastering. I have several
times desired the labourers, in case of their finding any coin or
other thing curious, to preserve it; but have never heard of any thing
being found of late years. A celt (commonly called in this
neighbourhood a thunderbolt[2]) was some years ago found on this Down;
and it was given by the late Mr. Bawden, of Looe, to Mr. James, of
St. Kevern. I have a celt, made of a hard black stone, which was found
in pulling down an old house at East Looe a few years since; it is
between six and seven inches long, and very perfect. I lately saw some
like it in shape and stone, but not so large, in the British Museum.

I also remember seeing a celt that was found, about thirty years ago,
at Kilminarth, near the ruin of the said mound: about which time a
gold chain and several instruments of brass were found in a decayed
hedge, or side of a highway, near Little Larnic, by an apprentice
girl. Her mistress described them to me as being somewhat like
hatchets, and said “she believed they were things which the warriors
used in antient times.” I applied to the mistress, in hopes of getting
a sight of them; but her apprentice had sold them to a buyer of old
brass. The hedge formed one side of the high road, not far from the
said mound. The apprentice told me that the gold chain was about a
foot and a half in length――that when she found it, not thinking it was
gold, she tied it to the end of a stick, and made a sort of whip of it
to drive home the cows. She some time after discovered that it was
gold, and kept it by her for several years, when she gave it to her
brother, who sold it to a Mr. Patrick, a jeweller at Dock, for three
pounds. The brother told me that Mr. Patrick said it was Corsican
gold; and he (the brother) also told me that he well remembered the
brass instruments, and that some of them were like the tops of
spontoons.


POLVELLAN.

On West Looe Down the late John Lemon, esq. (M.P. for Truro, and who
died April 5, 1814), about the year 1787 erected a small but extremely
neat house in the cottage style, and inclosed some ground round it by
virtue of a grant from the Corporation. He gave it the name of
Polvellan, and laid it out with great taste. Pol, in Cornish, signifies
a Pool, and Vellan a Mill; and below the house are a mill and pool,
inclosed by a stone wall of about half a mile sweep, in a circular
direction. I cannot describe the contrivance and use of this pool
better than in the words of Mr. Carew, in his “Survey of
Cornwall.”――“Amongst other commodities afforded by the sea, the
inhabitants make use of divers his creekes for grist mills, by
thwarting a banke from side to side, in which a flood-gate is placed,
with two leaves; these the flowing tide openeth, and, after full sea,
the weight of the ebb closeth fast, which no other force can doe; and
so the imprisoned water payeth the ransome of driving an under shoote
wheel for his enlargement.” I apprehend the mill and pool-wall were
built by one of the Arundells of Tremodart, in Duloe parish. The wall
is about six or eight feet high, and almost broad enough for a coach
to pass over it, and must have cost a great deal of money. It appears
by a deed which I have seen, that the Mayor and Burgesses of West
Looe, on the 30th of May, in the twelfth year of the reign of James
the First (1614), granted all that parcel, quantity of ground, oze, or
water, now surrounded by the said mill-pool-wall, to Thomas Arundell,
of Tremodart, in the parish of Duloe, esq. for 500 years, from thence
next ensuing; that afterwards the said Thomas Arundell built a
mill-house, and four grist-mills, and other houses, and also the
mill-pool-wall. On November 3, 1648, the said Thomas Arundell made his
will; and I believe the mills and mill-pool-wall were built by him
before he made his will. Afterwards this term in these premises were
assigned over by the Arundells (father and son) and one Drew (perhaps
a mortgagee) to Sir Jonathan Trelawny, for the remainder of the said
term. I am apprehensive, however, that there was a mill at this place
previous to the aforesaid grant.


INCLOSURE OF THE DOWN DESIRABLE.

It is much to be regretted that West Looe Down is not wholly inclosed;
the soil is very good, as is apparent from the fine state of the
grounds of Polvellan. The Looes being bounded by the sea on one side,
and by rivers and woods on the other, arable land is much wanted. The
objection raised against this inclosure is, that the poor of West Looe
would be deprived of gathering furze and fern for firing. But does not
the labour wasted and cloaths worn out in gathering this fuel more
than counteract the gain? If an inclosure were to be made, in a year
or two the hedges would produce greater quantity and more substantial
fuel than can now be obtained. The Down belongs to the Corporation;
but various tenants of houses and fields claim a right of putting what
is called Breaths (cattle), some more, some less, to depasture on it.
To such as are entitled to put breaths on this, common allotments
should be made in proportion to the number of breaths they are
entitled to; and an allotment to the poor might be made in lieu of
their claim (if it is a legal one) to take furze and ferns for firing.
The many advantages which would arise to the poor in particular from
an inclosure, should be considered. Exclusive of the numerous
productions which would follow, labour would be demanded, hedges must
be made, manure procured, land ploughed, corn tilled, cut, &c. &c. &c.
Milk, potatoes, &c. &c. would be obtained at a much more moderate
price than at present; and, no doubt, the poor rate would soon find
the beneficial effect of an inclosure. In short, the advantages
arising herefrom would be very great; and I sincerely hope the
prejudices of the interested will soon be done away, and that the
commoners will get an Inclosure Act passed. Formerly the Corporation
used to let out certain parts of this Down for tillage. There are
several memorandums of such lets in the Town Books. In 1621 that part
of West Looe Down which lieth on the west part of the Homer Well, was
let to rent, for two crops, at 6_s._ 8_d._ per acre.




TRADE.

Formerly a pretty considerable trade was carried on at Looe, and many
ships belonging to this port used to go from thence to France, Spain,
and up the Straits, &c.

Even so late as the beginning of the last century there were several
ships kept here, principally employed in foreign voyages; but, for
seventy or eighty years last past, few, if any, have been so employed.

       *     *     *     *     *

Tallan Church is most romantic in its situation; it contains a curious
monument to one of the Bevilles. Polbenro, divided between this parish
and Lansallos, affords picturesque scenery superior to any on the
southern coast of Cornwall; and the whole road from Fowey to Looe, by
Polruan, Lansallas, Polperro, and Talland, will amply compensate the
fatigue of climbing hills, and descending into deep vales, by the
singular and striking prospects varied at every point.

The manor of Killigarth belonged at an early period to the family of
Kilgat, evidently implying some relation between the names.

Kilmenawth, or Kilmenorth, formed a part of the large possessions
belonging to Lord Chief Justice Trevilian, who was murdered under some
forms of law in the year 1388, the 11th year of Richard the Second.
This place was the residence of Admiral Sir Charles Wager.

The hamlet of Lemain or Lammana, which seems to have included a
considerable portion of the parish with the island, must have been of
importance, since a record exists, which states a division of the
monastic property of Glastonbury, between the bishop and his chapter
on one part, and the monks on the other, when about the year 1200,
Pope Innocent the Third removed the see of Wells to that place.

The words are, “De Prioratibus quoque ad Glastoniensem Ecclesiam
pertinentibus, ita ordinatum est. Ut Prioratus de Hibernia ad
ordinationem Episcopi, Prioratus vero de Basselake, et de Lamana ad
ordinationem conventus pertineant.”

Portlooe appears to have been the principal estate of the hamlet, but
no traditions are extant about its antiquity. It belonged about the
middle of the last century to Mr. John Hoskins of East Looe, probably
by purchase; he left an only daughter, who married first Mr. Edward
Buller, a brother of the Judge, This gentleman had been educated in
Holland according to the customs of those times, with a view to trade,
which however he never pursued, but settled on his wife’s barton of
Portlooe, and died there, leaving several children. Mrs. Buller,
nevertheless, married secondly Mr. Thomas Escott, an officer in the
Cornwall Militia.

The island has probably passed through different hands since the
dissolution of Glastonbury Abbey. It recently belonged to the family
of Mayow, by whom it was sold for a very trifling consideration, to
Sir William Trelawny, afterwards Governor of Jamaica.

Pel-Vellan, (the Mill Pool,) created and named by the late Colonel
John Leman, is an exquisite specimen of that gentleman’s taste. The
editor remembers it a wild uncultivated uninclosed common, adjacent to
the tide Mill. About twenty years after the commencement of
decorations, he placed the following inscription where a rill of water
formed a small cascade under the shelter of some shrubs, and of three
or four trees which had stood on the Down.

Mr. Bond has given a detailed history of Admiral Sir Charles Wager,
pages 165 to 173.

The Admiral represented West Looe in Parliament, and resided in the
parish, but Mr. Bond has not been able to collect any traces of his
birth, either from tradition or from records. There is a monument to
his memory in Westminster Abbey, with a long and appropriate
inscription.

The barton and manor of Kyllygarth, including a division of Polperro,
are within this parish. The great tithes and the advowson belong to
the family of Kendall.

The rocks of this parish are similar to those of Lansallos and

TAMARTON.


HALS.

Tamarton vicarage, alias North Tamarton, is situate in the hundred of
Stratton, and hath upon the north, part of Whitson; south, part of
Devon and Boyton; east, the Tamar river, from whence it hath its
denomination Tamarton, that is to say, the town situate upon the Tamar
river; which river on the Devonshire side gives also name to Tamarton
Decenna, or hundred there, as also to Tamarton vicarage parish, and
Tamarton chapel, situate on the banks of that famous river; as also
Stoke Damarell vicarage and parish. For Stoke Tamar-oll parish; that
is to say, Stoke chapel or college in Cornish British, in Devon; and
for the etymology of the word Tamar, see my Cornish Vocabulary, and
Liber I. Chap. III.

This is the ταμαρα ποταμος, the Tamara Potamos, mentioned by Ptolomy
the Greek geographer 1500 years past; that is to say Tamar fluvius,
flumen, amnis fluentum, the Tamar river, in the province of the
Cornavy, for Cornubia, or Danmonij.

In the Domesday Book 1087, this district was then taxed under the name
and jurisdiction of Hornacott, i. e. iron cot or house, so called from
Hornacott free chapel then extant there, and for aught I hear yet
standing. The present church of Tamarton is either of late erection or
endowment, since it is not mentioned in either of the inquisitions as
to its value of First Fruits, unless it passed as a daughter church to
some other, or was wholly impropriated. The parish rated to the four
shillings per pound Land Tax, for one year 1696, at £48. 16_s._ 4_d._
The manor of Tamarton was formerly the lands of Walesbury, by whose
heir it passed to Trevillian of Somerset, now in possession thereof,
as I am informed.

Upon the bastard King Athelstan’s victory over the Cornish Britons,
Anno Dom. 930; and dismembering from that regniculum the district of
Devon, and confining their dominion only to the west side of the river
Tamar, the Saxon poets triumphed in verse, one of which hath those
words of this division.

Hinc Anglos, illic cernit Tamara Britannos, i. e. on this side Tamar
beholds the English, on the other the Britons.


TONKIN.

Tamarton is in the hundred of Stratton, and has to the west St. Mary
Wike, to the north Whitstone, to the east part of Devonshire and the
river Tamar, to the south Boyton.

As for the name, it took it from the old Roman Tamara [which however
did not stand here, but at Saltash, a long way below. W.]; as that did
from the river Tamar, turned into the English termination, to signify
a town on the river Tamar.

It is not valued in the King’s Book, but in the Taxatio Benefic. anno
1291, 20 Edward I. this church, by the name of Capella de Tamerton, is
valued at 46_s._ 8_d._ and was formerly appropriated to ――――.

It is now a rectory, being endowed by the endeavours of the present
incumbent Mr. John Bennet; who, and his successors for ever, are to
pay a fee-farm rent to the crown of £6. 13_s._ 4_d._ out of the sheaf;
the patronage being alternately in Henry Rolle of Stephenton, and
Richard Coffin of Portledge, both in Devon, esquires. [The sheaf then
appears to have belonged to the Crown, and had been set by the Crown,
at £6. 13_s._ 4_d._ to its lessees the patrons. The chapel was
therefore inserted as a mere curacy in the last Valor, but has been
now endowed by the lessees giving up their lease to it, and so
improving their own patronage. W.]


THE MANOR OF TAMARTON.

This, in the extent of Cornish acres, 12 Edward I. (Carew, fol. 48),
is valued in eight. In 3 Henry IV. (id. fol. 40 b.) Halvethas Malivery
held half of a knight’s fee here.


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Lysons gives the descents of property in this parish. He says the
manor of North Tamarton was given by Roger de Valletort to Richard
Earl of Cornwall, and that Roger Earl of Cornwall gave it to Gervase
de Harningate. It was afterwards in the Carminows. In 1620 it belonged
to Tristram Arscott, esq. and afterwards to the Rolles, of whom it was
purchased by the late Sir John Call of Whiteford.

The manor of Hornacot or Horningcote belonged at an early period to a
family of that name; in 1620 it was possessed by Sir Charles Howard,
in right of his wife, the daughter of Sir John Fitz of Fitzford near
Tavistock, and was afterwards in the Courtenays; and finally passed
from them by purchase to the late Mr. George Browne of Bodmin.

Ogbere, called by Norden Ugbere, was in his time the seat of William
Lovice, and had been the residence of Leonard Lovice, probably the
father or grandfather of William, and is stated, by a monumental
inscription still extant in the church, to have been Receiver-general
of the Duchy Revenues for Queen Elizabeth.

Vacye, in remote times the seat of a family bearing the same name, is
now the residence of George Call, esq. younger son of the late Sir
John Call.

This parish contains besides the church town three small villages
called Alvacot, Headon, and Venton.

ST. TEATH.


HALS.

St. Teath is situate in the hundred of Trigg, and hath upon the north
Dundagell, south-east Michaelstow and Lantegles, west the Irish Sea,
or Trevelga, south-west St. Kewe and St. Udye.

As for the name, if St. Eata, alias St. Eatah, be the tutelar guardian
of this church, note that he was a Briton of Wales by birth, and
Bishop of Lindisfarne, predecessor of St. Cuthbert 678, who was
translated from thence to the diocese of Hexham, by the Latins called
Axelodunum; by Bede, Hagulstadiensis, and by us Hexhamshire, in
Yorkshire or Northumberland. He was succeeded by ten other Bishops,
who enjoyed his chair, till by reason of the Danish depredations it
was annexed to York, and made the see of the Archbishopric, and had
the reputation of a county palatine; but discontinued by the statute
of 37th Henry VIII. chap. 16, and annexed to the county of
Northumberland. In this see St. Etha sat six years after his
translation to Hexhamshire, as Bede saith, but two as others; and was
buried in his Cathedral Church there.

In the Domesday Book 1087, this district was taxed under the
jurisdiction of Dundagell. At the time of the inquisition of the
Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester into the value of Cornish Benefices
1294, this Church was not endowed, if extant. The parish is rated to
the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax, 1696, £156. 8_s._

Bodanan, in this parish, was the lands of that old British family of
gentlemen surnamed de Cheiney, so called from Cheynoy in St.
Endellyan; of which place, name, and family was John de Cheyney,
Sheriff of Cornwall, the 5th and 6th of Edward I. 1280. Ralph de
Cheyney, his son or grandson, had £20 lands and upwards in Cornwall,
held by the tenure of knight’s service 24th of Edward III. Survey of
Cornwall, p. 51. Robert de Cheyney, probably his son, held also by the
tenure of knight’s service in this place, the fourth part of a
knight’s fee of land 3 Henry IV. idem liber, p. 42; whose son William
Cheyney, Esq. married the daughter and heir of [Stretch] in Devon,
lord of Pinhoe, and made it the place of his residence, and
accordingly was made Sheriff of Devon 11 Henry IV. 1410; John Cheyney,
his son, was Sheriff of Devon 22 Henry VI. 1444; John Cheyney, his
son, was Sheriff of Devon 1 Edward IV. 1480; John Cheyney, his son,
was Sheriff of Devon 12 Edward IV. 1472.

In this Church are to be seen the gravestones of some of those
gentlemen interred here, and in the same, and the glass window of this
Church, the arms of those gentlemen, viz. in a field Gules, on a fess
of four lozenges Argent, as many escallops Sable; in memory, as
tradition saith, that one of their ancestors, going into the Holy Land
and War with King Richard or King Edward I. carried such shells with
him for taking water to drink in the hotter clime of Asia.

Sir John Cheyney of this family was chosen Speaker of the Parliament 6
Henry IV. called indoctum Parliamentum, or Parliamentum indoctorum; so
called, for that in the writ of summons there was a clause no lawyer
should be chosen therein. Sir John Cheyney was also Speaker of the
House of Commons 1 Henry IV. and styled not only Parlour, but
Procurator, de les Commons. Hakewell’s Catalogue of the Speakers, p.
202.


TONKIN.

St. Teath is in the hundred of Trig, is bounded to the west by
Endellian and St. Kew, to the north by the sea and Tintagell, to the
east by Lanteglos and Michaelstow, to the south by St. Tudy.

I take St. Tathius to be the tutelar saint of this parish, of whom Mr.
Camden saith, (Brit. in Monmouthshire,) that he was a British saint,
who governed an academy at Caer Went, and also founded a church there
in the reign of King Kradock ap Ynir, circa an. Dom ――――.

This is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Book £12.; the patronage in

the late Matthew Beale, Esq.; the incumbent ――――.

In the Taxatio Benef. an. 1291, 19 or 20 Edward I. is this note,
Thechd, which, if meant for St. Teath, then it is valued, “Prebend’

iiij_l._ x_s._; Vicar’ ejusdem xx_s._”


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Lysons gives in this parish, as in every other, the descents and
sales of lands.

The manor of Tregordock, formerly in the Mohuns, passed in the general
purchase to Mr. Pitt.

Mr. Agar, the Molesworth family, and Mr. Sandys of St. Minver, have
lands in this parish; and Mr. Trevanion, of Carhayes, possesses in
this parish either the whole or a part of Drillavale or Dinnavale
quarry, producing the finest and most durable roofing slate of all
that district; and said by Bishop Watson, in his Chemistry, to be the
very best in England.

Treveares was for a long time the residence of a family which began to
rise about a century ago into considerable opulence. Mr. Phillipps, of
this place, settled as an attorney in Camelford; and availing himself
of the valuable privileges possessed by that place, acquired a
fortune. He had three sons. The eldest son, Charles Phillipps, married
one of the coheiresses of the Longs of Penhele, and, not having any
family, transmitted her ample fortune to his brother; he represented
Camelford in Parliament, and was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Cornwall
Militia. The second son, Jonathan Phillipps, originally a surgeon in
the navy, married the coheiress of the Amys of Botreaux Castle, and
through them of the Cottons, and also of the Gilberts of Tacbear; this
gentleman had several children, but survived them all. He was knighted
on the celebrated occasion of Margaret Nicholson.

The third brother, William Phillipps, a clergyman, never married.

They had one sister, who married Mr. Carpenter, of Tavistock; and her
descendants are possessed of nearly the whole of the Phillipps
property.

This farm, however, was demised by Mr. William Phillipps to his
relation Mr. William Dinham.

It would be improper not to mention, that Captain William Bligh was a
native of this parish, who commanded the Bounty in the unfortunate
expedition to procure plants of the Bread-fruit tree (Artocarpus) from
the South Sea Islands in the years 1789 and 1790; but which object he
effected in a second voyage, and afterwards received the appointment
of Governor of New Holland.

There does not appear to be any remains of the College or habitation
appropriated to the Canons, who from receiving certain shares of the
tithe for their maintenance, were sometimes called Portionists. The
Church is conjectured to have been built in the reign of Henry the
Seventh, from the circumstances of his arms appearing there in a
manner to denote them coeval with the fabric.

There are several monuments, and among them one to Mr. William
Phillipps, probably father of the gentleman who removed to Camelford
as an attorney, and grandfather to the three brothers mentioned above.
He is stated to have been of Treveans, and to have died on the 12th of
April 1712, in the 62d year of his age. The turnpike road leading from
St. Columb by Wade Bridge and Camelford to Launceston, nearly
surrounds this Church. It was for some years the great line of
communication to the west of Cornwall, till in 1767 a commencement was
made on a more direct line over Tregoss Moors on one side of Bodmin,
and Temple Moors on the other. This road so entirely superseded the
former as to cause an entire loss of capital to those who contributed
towards making it; and the road itself fell back into a state of
repair inferior to that of most parish roads. It has, however,
recently been taken up as a new concern, and in 1835 a stage coach has
been established on it.

The Editor has heard from the Rev. William Phillipps, who died in
1794, that the making of this road was taken up as a matter of
patriotism; and that to assist the undertaking, he cut with his own
hands the figures on the granite mile stones, which still remain.

The entry of this parish, in the Taxation of Pope Nicholas, is thus:

GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

This parish is situated on rocks belonging to the calcareous series.
On the eastern boundary, however, near the church, the slate is nearly
connected with the porphyritic series; here at Treburget is a lead
mine in a blue pyrituous slate; the lodes run north-east and
south-west, varying from two feet to five feet in thickness. The
matrix of the ores consists of angular pieces of slate like fragments
cemented by quartz, in which galena, blend, iron pyrites, and spathous
iron occur.

Proceeding northward, this lamillar blue slate is succeeded by a
shining talcose slate; and at Rediver Mills on the road to Port Isaac,
a hard compact rock is quarried for the roads, which contains veins of
magnesian minerals; this rock occurs on the side of a steep
round-backed hill; and those circumstances, combined with the talcose
slate, render it probable that magnesian rocks may exist in the
neighbourhood. These rocks are succeeded by slate traversed by veins
of antimony, similar to what occurs in Endellion.




TEMPLE.


HALS.

Temple is situate in the hundred of Trigg, and hath upon the north
Brewar, south part of Cardenham and Warliggan, west Blisland, east
part of St. Neot and Altarnun. As for the name, it is derived from the
Latin Templum, and signifies amongst Christians, a church, chapel, or
temple for performing Divine Service or worship to God, by
contemplation or action of body or mind.

But here, in a more especial manner so called for, that this church or
chapel was a cell or temple pertaining to the great master of the
Knights Templars of Jerusalem, under its superior in the Middle Temple
of London, now the lawyers’ Inn, where was their chief manor or
commandery. This religious fraternity took an oath of confederacy, for
aiding and assisting all persons, pilgrims, and strangers, that
intended by way of Joppa to visit Jerusalem and the sepulchre of our
Saviour; who, for that by licence of the abbot of a church there
called the Temple, in which they had their seats (as is now used in
our churches), they were from thence called Templars.

This district now in Cornwall, consisting only of eight tenements of
land, and about thirty human souls, in the Domesday Book 1087, was
taxed under the jurisdiction of Nietstone, still contiguous therewith.
In the inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester into the
value of Cornish Benefices 1294, Capella de Templo was rated to First
Fruits at 10_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition it is not named. After the
dissolution of the Knights Hospitallers in England (to whom the lands
of the Knights Templars had been given) this manor of Temple fell to
the Crown.


TONKIN.

Temple. This little parish is in the hundred of Trigg, and has to the
west Blissland, to the south Cardenham and Warlegon, to the east and
north Brewer, alias Symonward.

It is so called, because it belonged formerly to the Knights Templars;
and lying in a wild wastrell, exempted from the Bishop’s jurisdiction,
many a bad marriage-bargain is there yearly slubbered up [now
precluded by the Marriage Act, which is bad in many points, but good
in this]; and grass widows with their fatlings put to lie in and nurse
here. [This practice still continues, and has given rise to a mode of
expression, which sends off unmarried but pregnant women to lie in
privately, by despatching them to the Moors, meaning that long range
of wilderness which is called Temple Moors. W.]

It is not valued in the King’s Book. In Tax. Ben. anno 1291, 20 Edward
I. it is by the name of Capella de Temple, 10_s._


THE EDITOR.

This church was certainly founded by the Knights Templars, in
compliance with a custom very prevalent among the military monastic
orders, of establishing Preceptories in desert and uncultivated
places, with the view of introducing inhabitants, or of civilizing the
few that might be scattered over a wilderness. The benevolent
intentions of these gallant knights failed however in this particular
instance: the parish, which, judging from the analogy of similar
cases, must have been large, perhaps co-extensive with the Moors to
which it imparted a name, has shrunk into one of the least in
Cornwall. Its church has disappeared. The churchyard is not
distinguishable from any other inclosure; and the few parishioners
resort to neighbouring churches for divine service, for marriages, or
for the administration of the sacraments.

Cultivation is, however, introducing itself by means of the potatoe, a
vegetable destined to produce most gigantic effects on the condition
of mankind; greater perhaps than any other cause arising from the
discovery of a new world.

This little settlement was probably attached to the manor of Trebigh
in St. Ive’s, where the Knights Hospitallers had a preceptory. Certain
it is that the two properties have since travelled together, and are
now jointly reposing with the Devonshire family of Wrey. The Rev. B.
W. Wrey was instituted to the benefice in 1789.

THE GEOLOGY BY DOCTOR BOASE.

This little parish rests entirely on granite, which is of the same
nature as that of Blisland, Cardinham, and the adjacent parishes.




ST. THOMAS.


HALS.

St. Thomas is situate in the hundred of East, and hath upon the north
St. Stephen’s, east Launceston, south South Pedyrwin, west Egloskerry
and Trewinn. For the name, it is derived from the tutelar guardian and
patron of this church, St. Thomas the Apostle and Martyr (though as
some say St. Thomas à Becket). In the Domesday Book 1087, this parish
was taxed under the jurisdiction of Lansen, now Launceston. In the
inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester 1294, into the
value of Cornish Benefices, Capella Sancti Thomæ in decanatu de
Trigmajorshire, was then rated at 30_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition
1521, it is not named, having long before been wholly impropriated to
the abbat or prior of St. Stephen’s, who endowed it.


TONKIN.

St. Thomas is bounded to the south by Launceston and South Pederwyn,
to the west by Trewinn and Egloskerry, to the north by St. Stephen, to
the east by Launceston.

This little parish is something in the form of an obtuse pile, being
very narrow and wedged in to the east, where the church stands, in the
very extreme part, between Launceston and St. Stephen’s, but stretches
itself out in length and breadth to the west.

Part of it, which is called St. Thomas’s Street, is within the borough
of Launceston, and comes home to Launceston North Gate, but is divided
from Newport and St. Stephen’s by the little river Kensey, which runs
by the wall of the churchyard.


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Lysons treats of Launceston, St. Stephen’s, and St. Thomas
together. There is very little remarkable about this parish. The
church, which is very small, and provided with a tower scarcely more
lofty than the roof, stands close by the water; but it occupies the
spot where the stately Priory described under Launceston heretofore
extended its hospitality to travellers, and bestowed well intended,
although mistaken charity, to all the neighbourhood. Nothing more
remains of the Priory than the foundation of walls and an arched well
of excellent water. The church has some monuments.

TOWEDNACK.


HALS.

Towednack is situate in the hundred of Penwith, and hath upon the
north the Irish Sea, east St. Ive’s and Lelant, south Ludgvan, west
Zennor.

In the Domesday Book this district was taxed under the jurisdiction of
Amall, now Amall Veor or Trenwith. In the inquisition of the Bishops
of Lincoln and Winchester 1294, into the value of Cornish Benefices,
Ecclesia de Tywidnick, in decanatu de Penwith, is rated at
cxiii_s._ iiii_d._ vicar’ ibidem, xxvi_s._ viii_d._ In Wolsey’s
Inquisition 1521, it goes in value, consolidation, and presentation,
with Lelant and St. Ive’s, £22. 11_s._ 10½_d._ The patronage in the
Bishops of Exeter, who endowed it; the incumbent ―――― Hawkins; the
rectory in Pitz; and the parish rated to the four shillings per pound
Land Tax, for one year, 1696, £51. 3_s._ 2_d._

In this parish are two notable camps, castles, or intrenchments of our
ancestors the Britons, wherein they fortified themselves against their
enemies in former ages, the ruins and downfalls of which are yet to be
seen, the one called Castle-an-Dunes,[3] or Denis (See St. Colomb.);
the other Tre-crag-an, the ragged rock town, situate upon Tre-crag-an
hill or mountain, as I take it.


TONKIN.

Towednack lies in the hundred of Penwith, and has to the west Zennor,
to the north the sea, to the east St. Ive’s and Lelant, to the south
Ludgvan.

I take the name of the parish to signify no other than St. Wednock or
Wynnock; for Ta and Da are synonymous terms for good. [It is perhaps
only Ti Widnak (C.) the Whitish House. W.] It is a daughter church or
chapel of ease to Lelant, and goes in the same presentation.


THE EDITOR.

There can scarcely be a doubt of this parish, Landewednack, and some
chapels, being dedicated to one of the Missionaries from Ireland.

Towednack, like most of the districts situated on granite, exhibits a
strange and almost unaccountable mixture of cultivated and of
unreclaimed soils. On one side of a fence may be seen land producing
abundance of grass and excellent for daisies, or bearing ample crops
of barley, and of clover hay and on the other side, an inclosed waste,
named throughout Cornwall a croft, producing nothing better than
the species or variety of furze, Ulex Nanus, and some of the most
coarse grasses.

This parish has been productive of much tin near the surface; but a
wide stripe of granite nearly resembling that of St. Stephen’s in
Brannel, extends from the parish of Zennor through Towednack, and
thence into Ludgvan, including Castle-an-Dinas, which Mr. Hals by
mistake places in this parish. Its course is distinctly marked by the
absence of all bolder rocks from the surface, and in some places it
has been wrought for china clay, found quite equal in quality to that
near St. Austell, but occurring in layers of but little breadth, and
therefore expensive to pursue. This soft granite, called by the miners
whetstone, permits the lodes to continue their courses through it from
the hard and crystallized granite, but the tin in a great measure
disappears at a trifling depth.

There is little connected with Towednack of any curiosity, that does
not refer to the Editor and his family.

I am possessed of a manor still extending into five parishes, of which
the vokeland, to use Mr. Hals’s term, was Amellibrea in this parish.
It has descended to me from the Noyes, and particularly from my direct
ancestor William Noye, the Attorney-General. I have the Court Rolls in
complete succession for nearly three centuries. On these Rolls the
names of Godolphin, Grylls, Mahun, Praed, St. Aubyn, Veal, occur with
others as free tenants, and a great number of persons held by copy of
Court Roll.

At Amellibrea are the remains of an extensive foundation said by
tradition to have formerly supported a prison.

But the free tenants have been lost, and the copyholds converted into
leases for life, as indeed has been the case generally over Cornwall,
with the exception of ecclesiastical property; the copyholds not being
renewable on the payment of a fine not exceeding two years’ value, as
is the custom over most parts of England, but dependent wholly on the
pleasure of the lord. The tenures were therefore in themselves much
the same; and as I remember to have heard, the tenants preferred
chattle property, as they termed it, to copyhold, in consequence
probably of the uniform rules of succession and the facility of
disposing by will.

The last copyhold that appears on the Rolls was in the very beginning
of the last century.

The particulars of holding a Court in those days, with the Steward’s
charge, happen to be preserved on the Roll for 1688, and seem to me
sufficiently curious to warrant their insertion.

     _The Homage._

       Sampson Veale, esq. Foreman.
       Robert Michell, James Trewhelow, John Curnow,

     _The Oath._

     You shall swear that you, as Foreman of this Homage, with the
     rest, shall duly inquire, and true presentment make of all such
     copyholds and things as shall be given you in charge; wherein you
     shall spare no man, from love, favour, or affection; nor present
     any man for malice, hatred, or envy; but according as things are
     presentable, shall or may come to your knowledge, by information
     or otherwise, so shall you make thereof true presentment without
     concealment,

     So help you God, and the contents of this book.


     _The Charge._

     Sirs――You that be sworn!

     You know the customs of this court, and what you ought to
     present, which is grounded all on these three things, that is to
     say, upon  truth, judgment, and justice, for this comprehends all
     you have to do.

     It standeth upon truth, for that you ought to present nothing but
     the truth, and likewise not to omit any thing that is true and
     presentable being here unpresented.

     It standeth upon judgment, that you do not present any thing
     rashly, or unadvisedly; but certainly to know the truth thereof
     before you do present it.

     And it standeth upon justice that you do not for favour,
     affection, corruption of money, or other reward, for fear of any
     man’s displeasure, or for any private gain or profit, leave any
     thing unpresented that is here presentable; neither for malice
     present any thing contrary to truth.

     These three principal things you ought duly to consider of; and
     so hoping that you will have a special care thereof according to
     your oaths and duties, and the trust that is reposed in you, I
     will cease to trouble you any further about them.

     First, you shall inquire whether all such persons as owe suit and
     service to this court be here to do the same; and all that make
     default you must present.

     Also you shall inquire if any tenants be dead since the last
     court, or before, and his death not yet presented; and you shall
     inquire what lands he held of these manors, and what is due to
     the Lord on his death;[4] and also if any copyholder has leased
     his copyhold for any longer term than a year and a day, without
     the Lord’s license, it is a forfeiture of his copyhold. And also
     if any copyholder deny to pay his rent, or deny to come to his
     Lord’s Court, or deny to be sworn of the homage, it is a
     forfeiture of his copyhold.

     And also you are to present all alienations that you may know
     among the tenants, who they are, and for what.

     You are also to present all such as remove any bounds bounding
     the lands of these manors and the lands of any other Lord, or
     between tenant and tenant, or elsewhere in those manors.

     You are likewise to present any one that has taken any goods out
     of the pound wilfully by force, or any pound-breaker by the way,
     as they are driven to pound.

     You are likewise to present any man that hath fished or fowled in
     these manors, or hawked or hunted.

     And also you are to present any that doth refuse or neglect to
     grind at the mill of those manors; and if you are not well
     served, you that are ill dealt with by the miller, he is lyable
     to be prosecuted, and make satisfaction.

     You are to present all tin broken in these manors that hath not
     paid farme nor toll.

     You shall swear by the contents of that Book; that you will be
     true and faithful to the Lord of those manors, and shall from
     henceforth bear, do, and pay to your said Lord, and to his heirs,
     at times assigned, all such rents, customs, and services as you
     ought to pay, and for all such lands and tenements as you claim
     to hold of him; So help you God.

       *     *     *     *     *

As the Steward’s name in not appended, I am unable to say who was the
author of this perspicuous, eloquent, and argumentative address. It is
probably in a great measure conformable to the approved model of that
day.

Having omitted to insert in its proper place a Petition from my
great-grandmother to King Charles the Second, I shall give it here, as
being in some degree connected with the property.


     _To the King’s Most Excellent Majesty._

     The humble petition of Hester Noye, widow of Humphrey Noye,
     esquire, son and heir of the Attorney-General Noye, and eldest
     sister and coheir of Edwyn Lord Sandys, deceased,

       Humbly sheweth,

     That King Henry the VIII. in the 14th year of his reign, created
     your Petitioner’s great-grandfather William Sandys a Peer of this
     Realm, by the style of William Lord Sandys, Baron of the Vine,
     who granted a Patent of the said honor to him and his heirs,
     which hath been ever since enjoyed by his descendants both male
     and female accordingly; and last of all by the said Edwyn Lord
     Sandys, who is lately deceased, leaving your said Petitioner and
     five other sisters his coheirs.

     That your Petitioner’s father served your late Royal Father of
     glorious memory in the late unhappy wars, and raised a Regiment
     of Foot, and another of Horse for that service, and was himself
     slain therein.[5]

     That your Petitioner’s late husband was likewise active in his
     late Majesty’s service, being a Colonel in the Army, and suffered
     very much for his loyalty in the late rebellious times, by whom
     your Petitioner had issue William Noye, esq. his son and heir,
     who is still living.

     Now forasmuch as your Petitioner is advised that upon the death
     of the said Edwyn Lord Sandys, it is in your Majesty’s power to
     dispose of the said honor to which of the said sisters and
     coheirs your Majesty pleases,

     Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays, that your Majesty would
     be graciously pleased to permit your Petitioner and her heirs to
     enjoy the said honour and title.

     And your Petitioner shall ever pray.

It is almost unnecessary for me to add that this Petition did not
prove successful.

Towednack is now included with Lelant in the borough of St. Ive’s,
sending one member to Parliament.

The great tithes belong to Mr. Praed of Trevethow, who, together with
the heirs of the late Duke of Bolton, possess the remainder of the
parish.

THE GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

The extreme northern part of this parish is formed of a narrow slip
which runs out considerably beyond the regular boundaries, and
terminates on the sea shore; about half of the protuberance is
composed of felspathic rocks, belonging to the porphyritic series, and
all the rest of the parish is situated on granite.

TREMAINE, OR TREMEAN.


HALS.

Tremaine or Tremean is situate in the hundred of East, and hath upon
the north St. Mary Wike and Jacobstow, east North Pederwyn, south
Tresmere, west Treneglos. As for those names, they are of one
signification, viz. the town of stone, or stone town, a place, it
seems, notable for those inanimate creatures. This church was endowed
by the Abbat or Prior of St. Stephen’s by Launceston, to which abbey
it was wholly impropriated; the patronage was in ――――: the incumbent
――――; the rectory in ――――; and the parish rated to the four shillings
per pound Land Tax 1696, for one year £42. 5_s._ 0_d._ I take it this
church is now a chapel of ease to Egloskerry, altogether wholly
impropriated as aforesaid.


TONKIN.

Tremaine or Tremean is in the hundred of East, and is bounded to the
west by Warbstow and Treneglos, to the north and east by part of
Devonshire, to the south by Tresmere.

The name in Cornish signifies a dwelling of stone, or the stony town.
[Tre-maen, stone-house.]

It is a daughter church to Egloskerry. The great and small tithes are
wholly impropriated; and only £5 per annum allowed to the service of
the cure out of the sheaf, taxes included, which taxes ought to be
paid by the impropriators of the said sheaf.


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Lysons says that the manor of Tremayne belonged to the family of
Treise, whose heiress brought it to that of Morshead; it has passed by
sale to Mr. John Jolliffe, the present proprietor; but the greater
part of the parish is within the manor of Penhele in Egloskerry.

The church of Tremaine, now a daughter church to Egloskerry, was
consecrated in 1481, by the name of the chapel of Winwolaus of
Tremene, with a cemetery adjoining, since which time it has probably
been esteemed a separate parish.

The benefice, as a daughter church to Egloskerry, is in the gift of
the Crown. G. W. Owen, esq. is impropriator of the great tithes, which
belonged formerly to the priory of Launceston.

Saint Winwaloe, whose festival is kept on the third of March, has been
noticed in vol. ii. p. 127.

TRENEGLOS.


HALS.

Treneglos is situate in the hundred of Lesnewith, and hath upon the
north Warstow, south and east Tresmere and St. Cleather, west
Davidstow. For the name, it refers to the church, and signifies a
stout, strong, robust or firm church. Under what name it was rated in
the Domesday Book I know not. In the Inquisition of the Bishops of
Lincoln and Winchester aforesaid, ecclesia de Treneglos was valued at
£7. vicar’ ibidem 20_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, it was rated,
together with Warstow, as to First Fruits, £9. 19_s._ 6_d._; the
patronage in the Duke of Cornwall I take it; the incumbent Wood; the
rectory in ――――; and the parish rated to the four shillings per pound
Land Tax 1696, together with Warbstow, as I remember, £87. 16_s._
which church is consolidated into Treneglos, and goes in presentation
with it.


TONKIN.

Treneglos is in the hundred of Lesnewith, hath to the west Davidstow,
to the north Warbstow, to the east Tremaine, to the south St.
Cleather.

The meaning of this name is no other than the church  town, the
common appellation which we give to all dwellings round or near the
church.

In 1291, 20 Edward I. the rectory here was valued (Tax. Ben.) at £7.
being appropriated to the priory of Tywardreath, and the vicar at
20_s._

It is a vicarage not valued in the King’s Book; the patronage in the
Crown; the incumbent Mr. Charles Porter.


THE EDITOR.

There cannot be a doubt as to Mr. Tonkin’s being the real etymology of
this name.

Mr. Lysons says, the greater part of the manor of Downeckney,
anciently Donnegny, which formerly belonged to the Dinhams and
Cardinhams, by descent from Richard, Steward of the household to
William the Conqueror at the time of the Domesday Survey, is now
vested in fee in William Braddon, esq. of Treglith in this parish, who
is lessee of the remainder; that remainder belonging in equal shares
to the Trefusis family from the Rolles and Walpoles; and to the
representatives of the Gilberts of Tacbear through Cotton and Amy. Mr.
Braddon inherited this property from his father-in-law John Spettigue,
esq. who had purchased it from the family of Symons, who resided at
Treglith.

The church of Treneglos was given by the above-named Richard, so early
as the time of the Conqueror, to the priory of Tywardreth. The great
tithes, with the exception of some endowed on the vicarage, belong to
the Eliot family of St. German’s.

The vicarage is in the gift of the Crown.

  Treneglos measures 2362 statute acres.

It is clear from the above figures, that there must have been some
mistake, since such fluctuations never take place in parishes entirely
agricultural.

The present Vicar of Treneglos, with Warbstow, is the Rev. J. H.
Mason, presented in 1804 by the Prince of Wales.


GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

This parish lies on rocks of the calcareous series, except that its
southern extremity reaches the Downs, where the rocks become
felspathic, as has been noticed under the heads of Laneast,
Egloskerry, and St. Stephen’s.




TRESMERE.


HALS.

Tresmere, alias Tresmoore vicarage, is situate in the hundred of East,
and hath upon the north Tremayne, east Egloskerry, south Lanest, west
St. Cleather. Under what name or jurisdiction it was taxed in the
Domesday Book I know not. In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln
and Winchester 1294, Capella de Tresmoore was valued xxvi_s._ viii_d._
which Church I apprehend was partly endowed by the Prior or Abbat of
Tywardreth, and the other part by the Prior of St. Stephen’s, for in
that Inquisition I read Prior Tywardrayth percepit de garba de
Tresmoore 11_s._ afterwards wholly impropriated to the Prior of St.
Stephen’s, who doubtless purchased in that title. The parish rated to
the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax for one year 1696, £42. 12_s._


TONKIN.

Tresmere, in the hundred of East, hath to the west Treneglos, to
the north Tremaine, to the east part of Devonshire, to the south
Egloskerry.

This signifies the same with Tre Mere, the great town or dwelling. [N.
B. This name, and that of Tren-eglos, are very remarkable in thus
containing a supplemental letter. W.]

This Church, by the name of Capella de Tresmore, an. 1291, 20 Edw. I.
is valued (Tax. Ben.) at xxvi_s._ viii_d._ being then appropriated to
the Priory at Tywardreath.

It is wholly impropriated, the great and small tithes belonging to Sir
John Molesworth and Francis Manaton, Esq. who ought to pay out of it
for serving the cure £6 per annum, lately detained by both, the Curate
not being able or willing to recover it at law. The Prior of
Tywardreth did receive out of the sheaf of Tresmore ij_s._


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Lysons says, that this parish is an appendage to the manor of
Werrington. This would indicate its being impropriated by the Abbey of
Tavistock, as Werrington was the chief seat of the Lord Abbat; but
Tresmere is not noticed in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of that Abbey; but
in the Valor Ecelesiasticus of Launceston Priory there occurs this
trifling entry:

                     £. _s._ _d._
  Tresmare――Pensio   0   1    8

The tithes of this parish are completely in lay hands. When tithes
were first bestowed on monasteries, the duties of the Church to which
they appertained, were performed by members of the Convent, who
occasionally travelled there, and succeeded each other; the
“book-bosomed priests” of the Last Minstrel. In times more remote,
secular clergy went on circuits from the Cathedral or seat of the
Bishop and his priests; till the inconvenience of this itinerant
system became strongly felt, and decrees were made in several General
Councils of the Latin Church, enacting that each benefice should
have a permanently resident priest, and that a competent provision
should be made for his support. This was usually done by assigning to
the deputy, the Vicarius or Vicar, all the tithes except those of
corn, although others were occasionally retained; but in various
instances, instead of tithes, an allowance was made in money,
equivalent perhaps at the time, but long since reduced to nominal
payments, by the gradual depreciation in the value of gold and silver
from natural causes, and by the fraudulent reduction of the standards
practised in various degrees by all governments, or lastly, by the
non-convertible paper currencies.

The very great difference in the circumstances of those deputies,
arising from the nature of their endowments rather than any legal
distinction in the offices, has affixed to one the name of Vicar, and
to the other that of Perpetual Curate.

It appeared from Mr. Tonkin’s narrative, that the stipend in this
parish amounted to six pounds a year, and that it had been withholden
by superior force; without doubt, the liberality of modern times has
long since caused it to be restored and increased.

Mr. Lysons states, that the impropriation has passed through the
families of Molesworth and Manaton, and that it is now vested in
Edward Coade, Esq. and that this great piece of preferment is in the
Crown.

Trenegloss.




TREVALGA.


HALS.

Trevalga Rectory is situate in the hundred of Lesnewith, and hath upon
the north the Irish Sea and Ferabery, east Minster, south and west
Dundagell and St. Teth.

In the Domesday Book 1087, it was taxed by the name of Trevaga or
Trevalga. In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester
1294, Ecclesia de Trevalga, in decanatu de Minor Trigshire, was rated
xxxx_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition £7. 6_s._ 8_d._ which probably was a
free Chapel, erected before the Norman Conquest; since it hath not
then or now admitted of any alteration of its name, though I judge
from that Inquisition, that it was after the Conquest partly endowed
by the Canons of the Cathedral Church of Exeter; since therein I read,
Canonicus Exon. percepit de Ecclesia Trevalga v_s._ The parish was
rated to the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax for one year, 1696, £59. 4_s._
8_d._


TONKIN.

Trevalga, in the hundred of Lesnewith, is bounded to the west by
Tintagel, as it is to the north by the sea, to the east by Feraberry.

In an. 1291, 20 Edw. I. this Church is valued (Tax. Benef.) at xl_s._
and the Canons of Exeter did receive out of it v_s._

This Church is a Rectory, valued in the King’s Books £7. 6_s._; and
the patronage in the Dean and Chapter of Exeter; the incumbent ――――.


THE MANOR OF TREVALGA.

In Domesday Book this is mentioned as one of those given by William
the Conqueror to Robert Earl of Morton, when he made him Earl of
Cornwall. In the extent of Cornish acres 12 Edw. I. it is valued in
eighteen.

[This manor, which has given name to the parish, has drawn its own
from Trev Alga, the noble house; Alga (I.) signifying noble, as in
Inis Alga, an old name for Ireland; and this affords one instance more
of the necessity of recurring to the kindred dialects of the British
in explaining Cornish names. W.]


THE EDITOR.

This parish is situated in the most wild and apparently most desolate
part of Cornwall, although the soil is not unproductive. The Church
stands near to the cliff of this iron-bound coast.

Mr. Lysons states, that the manor giving name to this parish, belonged
in the reign of King James the First to James Welsh, Esq. from it has
descended through the family of Bolitho to that of Stephens, and that
it now belongs to Mr. Richard Stephens, of Culverhouse, near Exeter.

The Dean and Chapter of Exeter are patrons of the Rectory. The present
Rector is the Rev. J. T. Symons, instituted 1831.

  Trevalga measures 1094 statute acres.

THE GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

The rocks of this parish are similar to those of the adjacent parishes
of Minster and Ferabury.




TREWEN.


HALS.

Trewen or Trewenn vicarage is situate in the hundred of East, and hath
upon the north and east Egloskerry and South Pederwin, south Lawanack,
west Altarnun. As for the modern names, it signifies a white town or
dwelling. The same, I suppose, in the Domesday Book 1087, taxed by the
name of Trewin, i. e. the beloved town. The value of this Church’s
revenues is not mentioned in any Inquisition, the same being wholly
impropriated by the Abbat or Prior of St. Stephen’s, who endowed it,
and was Patron thereof till the dissolution of the Abbey of St.
Stephen’s aforesaid, 26 Henry VIII. when it fell to the Crown; and the
parish rated to the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax for one year, 1696, £46.
8_s._ 8_d._

In this parish, September 29th, is held yearly a public fair or mart
for goods and cattle.

In this parish is Polyfunt or Polyvant, synonymous words, i. e. the
top spring or fountain of water, so called from some spring of water
that rises in some high lands of that tenement, in which place the
Prior of Minster in Kerryer, by the tenure of knight service, held one
little knight’s fee of lands of Morton, 3 Henry IV. Survey of
Cornwall, p. 41. It is now, as I am informed, the lands of ―――― Hicks,
Gent.


TONKIN.

Trewen, in the hundred of East, hath to the west Altarnun, to the
north Laneast, to the east Egloskerry, to the south Pederwin; as for
the name, the plain meaning of it is, the White Town, but from whence
so denominated I must plead ignorance.

[Tre Wen (C.) is the white or fair house, the manor house of the
district, so called from its elegance, and then lending its name to
the district and parish. W.]


THE EDITOR.

This parish is supposed to have belonged to the Priory of St. German’s
as an appendix to South Petherwin, to which it is now united.

Trewen is not noticed by name in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of the 26th
Henry VIII.; but South Petherwin, probably with the daughter parish
included, is there stated to have paid to St. German’s annually,

                   £. _s._ _d._

    giving an increase of 10 per cent. in 30 years.


GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

This parish is situated on rocks of the calcareous series, which are
for the most part like those of Laneast; but where Trewen joins
Alternun, bounded only by the small river Inney, some strata occur
which deserve more particular notice. It has already been stated, that
on the opposite side of this stream, a potstone or ollareous
serpentine occurs; on the Trewen side a talcose schist first appears,
which is followed by a calcareous schist, with its surface talcose and
glossy, resembling the slate at Cotele on the Tamar. This slate
gradually passes into a compact limestone, which is light-coloured and
talcose, especially in such parts as come in contact with masses of
hornstone diffused through the mass. This limestone is quarried and
burnt on the spot, but after the selection of such portions as abound
with calcareous spar.




TRURO.


HALS.

Truro is situate in the hundred of Powder, and hath upon the north
Kenwen, east Clement’s, south an arm of Falmouth Harbour, where twice
a day, upon spring tides, the sea makes its navigable flux and reflux
to the walls, keys, and streets thereof.

In the Domesday Book 1087, this place was taxed under the appellations
of Trewret and Treured, which shews that it then consisted of two
privileged manors or jurisdictions, viz. the borough of Trewret and
the manor of Treured, now known, and still distinguished, by the
names of the borough and manor of Truro, under the like circumstances.

In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester 1294, into
the value of Cornish Benefices, Ecclesia de Trewroe, in decanatu de
Powdre, was rated liii_s._ iv_d._

By the Charter of its incorporation from King John, the town was
incorporated by the name of Burgus de Trewrow.

In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, this church’s revenues were valued at
£16. The patronage formerly in Bodrigan or Trenowith, now Edgecumb.
The incumbent Pagett; and the borough of Truro was rated to four
shillings per pound Land Tax for one year, 1696, £186. 7_s._ That here
was a Christian free chapel before the Norman Conquest I doubt not,
implied in the word Trewrow, now a Rectory Church; in the glass
windows of which, the north side thereof, is yet extant the arms of
John Earl of Cornwall, who succeeded to the Crown of England 1199, and
was made Earl of Cornwall by his father King Henry II. at nine years
old (though he had not the possession thereof till the time of Richard
I. 1190, which was but a hundred and twenty-four years after the
Norman Conquest, and but one hundred and three years after the
Conqueror’s death); which arms were: in a field Ruby, three leopards
in pale passant gardant Tophaz, over all a bend Sapphire, which
leopards are now called, and metamorphosed in the blazon of the Kings
of England’s arms to lions, as it is testified by Nicholas Upton, who
wrote his Book of Heraldry 1440, whose words be these: “Monsieur
Johanes Roy d’Angleter, port de Gowles, ove trois lyopers d’Or.”

There is likewise extant in the same windows, the Prince of Wales and
Duke of Cornwall’s badge, in a field ―――― three ostrich feathers with
this motto or inscription, Ich Dien, or Ich Thyen, Saxon, I serve,
which coronet was won by Edward the Black Prince, the first Duke of
Cornwall, from John of Luxemberge, King of Bohemia, at the battle
of Cressy, 1346, and ever since worn by him and his successors, Dukes
of Cornwall and Princes of Wales; which arms we may conclude was
erected in this glass window soon after that victory, he being High
Lord of this borough, which is held of his contiguous Duchy Manor of
Moris, together with the Coinage Hall, which King John built and gave
it; as also the royalty over the whole Harbour of Falmouth as far as
Carike Road and the Black Rock Island (see Falmouth) in consideration
of twelve pence rent and suits to that Manor Court, which privileges
and royalty this town enjoyed till the time of King James II. and
executed their water processes all over the said harbour for debt and
damage; but then, upon the petition of Sir Peter Killigrew, Bart. it
was given by him as an augmentation of profit to Mr. Quaram, Rector of
Falmouth, and his successors for ever, but under what rent I know not.

The church was built at the proper cost and charge of the inhabitants,
and other pious benefactors, with free-stone, in that costly and
curious manner as it now stands, in the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry
VIII. as appears from an inscription in the glass windows thereof,
under the name and arms of Margaret Tregian, one of those benefactors
1514; wherein also are yet extant the arms of the Arundells, Bevills,
Trenowths, Carmenows, Edgecombs, and other benefactors; however, this
church hath no tower or steple of bells as other churches.

And moreover, as when it was a free chapel, the minister subsisted on
the oblations and obventions of the altar, so now, comparatively, upon
the piety and charity of his hearers by voluntary subscriptions; from
whence it may be presumed the rector must demean himself well, and
labour hard in his vocation, to get a competent maintenance, at least
he must walk with such upright and wary conduct as he that went
barefoot upon the edge of a sharp knife and did not hurt his feet;
since he must converse with, and have to do with, men of divers
principles and opinions in religion in this place, viz. Anabaptists,
Presbyterians, and Quakers, as of old his predecessors had with monks,
Dominican and Franciscan friars, who were sharers or peelers of his
profits by their predicaments. I shall not enter into the controversy
whether the Gospel were better preached before churches were endowed
with revenues, or since, the one being a motive to pride, sloth, and
laziness; as the other is an inducement to humility, temperance, and
virtue.

In this church stands a curious monument erected to the memory of John
Robartes, esq. that married Gaurigan (ancestor of the Right Honourable
Charles Bodville, Earl of Radnor) though much defaced in the
interregnum of Cromwell; whose ancestor John Robarts, Mayor of Truro,
that lies entombed thereby, mightily enriched himself in this town by
trade and manufactures.

There is also near the same another funeral monument, erected to the
memory of three brothers of the Mitchells, tempore James I. viz.
Thomas, John, and James, as I remember, who, as the inscription saith,
had all one God, one womb, and one tomb.

On the west side of this town was of old a Dominican Chapel and
Friary; part of their house and consecrated well yet standing; their
revenues dispersed into several hands since the dissolution of their
house 26 Henry VIII. and now in possession of ――――.

In the centre of this town was a nunnery of Clares closed up, who had
considerable revenues, now in possession of Sir John Seyntaubyn and
others; their consecrated walled well at Edles in Kenwen, and their
house called Anhell, i. e. the hall or tabernacle, was fairly built of
free-stone, though lately pulled down, and converted to shops and
dwelling houses.

The town of Truro was made a coinage town by King John as aforesaid,
and had all its privileges confirmed by a charter from Queen
Elizabeth, by the name of the Mayor and Capital Burgesses; and
consists of a Mayor, Recorder, and twenty-four Capital Burgesses.
The members of Parliament are elected by the majority of inhabitants
of the said Corporation; the arms of which are, a ship man-of-war in
full course, with sails spread, on the seas, wherein are fishes
swimming.

The precept on the Parliament writ from the Sheriff, and a writ for
removing an action at law depending in this court leet, must be thus
directed:

     “Majori et Burgensibus Burgi sui de Trewrow in comitatu Cornubiæ,
     salutem.” als. “Manerium de Trewrow, viz. Senescallo et Ballivor.
     Manerij sui de Trewrow in Comitatu Cornubiæ, salutem.”

This place is more notable as being the birthplace and honorary title
of John Lord Robarts, Baron Robarts of Truro (see Lanhydeiock). It is
also privileged with fairs annually, on the 19th of November, the 8th
of December, Wednesday after Midlent Sunday, and on Whitsun Monday or
Tuesday, and markets weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays; wherein all
commodities necessary for the life of man are vended in great plenty
at a moderate rate, viz. fresh fish, oysters, lobsters, and crabs of
all sorts, corn, fruits.

The salary of the collector of the Custom House here is yearly £40,
two tidemen and a waiter £80 per annum.

The chief inhabitants of this town are John Manly, esq. barrister-at-law;
Mr. Gregor, Dr. Maye, Dr. Cloake, Graduates in Physic; Mr. Hawes, Mr.
Hickman, Mr. Granvill Hals, Mr. Hickes, Mr. Herle, Mr. Sanders, Mr.
Mayow, Mr. Williams, Mr. Foxworthy, Mr. Grebhle, Mr. Pawley, Mr.
Michell, and others.

Mr. Carew, in his Survey of Cornwall 1602, tells us this town of
Truro, for wealth and riches, exceeded any other town in Cornwall, and
for buildings all other except Lanceston; I think it still under the
same circumstances.

In this town at some time lived Captain William Upcott that married ――――
Bruce of Scotland, daughter of Edward Bruce, esq. of Edinburgh; after
her death, Anne, daughter of Adam Bennet, of this town, gent. son
of John Bennet, of Penton in Devon, gent. a man of approved valour and
conduct in the war, who in all the unhappy Civil Wars between King
Charles I. and his Parliament, was bred up in the school of Mars from
his youth, first an Ensign, then a Lieutenant, lastly made a Commander
of a foot company under the Earl of Essex and Sir Thomas Fairfax’s
armies for the Parliament; afterwards he was made Coronet of General
Monk’s Horse Troop or Brigade, who specially favoured him, and in that
capacity accompanied him throughout all the fatigues of the English,
Scots, and Irish wars, managed by him and Cromwell against Kings
Charles I. and II.; and when Monk came out of Scotland and returned
into England with his army, and restored King Charles II. to his
throne.


TONKIN AND WHITAKER.

Truro is situate in the hundred of Powder, and is surrounded to the
south, west, and north, by Kenwin, and to the east by St. Clement’s,
being washed on each side by two rivulets (of which that which comes
from St. Allen is the principal), and which joining together at the
bottom of the town, fall into an arm of Falmouth Harbour, and form a
beautiful basin and key there. This takes its name from the town, as
that does from the three principal streets of which it consists, Tri,
three, and Ru, a street, turned to Truro, euphoniæ gratiâ. [See below
concerning this Etymon, which is adopted from Camden, and is obviously
absurd, as the town must have had a name long before it forked out
into three streets; and indeed from the first moments of its existence
as a town, as a parish, or as a manor. W.]

This church, which is dedicated to the blessed Virgin Mary, is a
rectory, valued in the King’s Book £16; the patronage in the
Honourable Richard Edgcombe, esq.; the incumbent Mr. Joseph Jane,
who in 17―― succeeded Mr. Simon Paget, as this last did Mr. Samuel
Thomas.

In an. 1291, 20 Edw. I. this church was valued (Tax. Benef.) at
liij_s._ iiij_d._ having never been appropriated.

Leland (Itin. vol. III. fol. 11) speaketh thus of this town: “This
Creke of Truru afore the very toun is divided into two partes, and
eche of them hath a brook cumming down, and a bridge, and the toun of
Truru bytwixt them booth. The White Freres house was on the west arme
yn Kenwyn Streate.

“Kenwen Streate is severed from Truru with this arme, and Clementes
Streat by est is separate on the est from Truru with the same arme.

“One paroche chirch in Truru; Kenwen, and Clementes Streates have
several chirchis, and bere the name of the Sainctes of the paroche
chirchis.

“Coynage of tinne at Midsomer and Michaelmas at Truru.

“Truru is a borow toun, and priviledged. There is a Castelle, a
quarter of a mile by west out of Truru, longing to the Erle of
Cornwale, now clene doun. The site therof is now used for a shoting
and playing place. Out of the body of Truru creake, on the est side,
breketh a crek estwarde a mile from Truru, and goith up a mile ――――,
perhaps to Kigan, and thens to Tresilian Bridge.”

Nothing can be better described than the situation of this town is
here by Leland; only as to the castle, it is so far from being a
quarter of mile out of the town that it is in it at the head of St.
Pancras-street, to the left hand of the way as you go to Kenwyn
church, which by the bye is no Saint as Leland has here made it, or
ever called St. Kenwyn. [The difference between Mr. Tonkin and his
author concerning the castle, is no difference at all. Mr. Tonkin
forgets the interval of time between Leland’s writing and his own. At
that time the castle was assuredly out of the town; St. Pancras-street
then going up but a little way from the open area by the church-yard,
and the castle being now “at the head” of this street.] It lies
very pleasantly, and from it you have a view of the whole town, the
country around it, and the river, or rather arm of the sea, which,
when the tide is in, looks like a fine canal of two miles in length,
[and in coming up the canal by boat, the town with its new spire
below, and the church of Kenwin with its new vicarage-house above,
form a most pleasing view]; but the castle itself is more like an old
Danish camp or round, than a place that had been once inhabited, there
not being the least sign left of any wall, &c.

At the last visitation of this county (Heralds’ Office) it is said
that “the town and borough of Truro was incorporated by the name of
mayor and burgesses by Reignald Earl of Cornwall, natural son to Henry
I. which as appeareth by record, was done by Richard Lucy alias Lacam,
testibus Rogero de Valitort, Roberto de Edune Anvilla, Ricardo de
Raddona, Aldredo de S^{to}. Martino, sealed with an ancient seal with a
man on horseback.

“And at the time of this present visitation, the 9th of October 1620,
was Gregory Frignis Major, Thomas Burgess, Richard Daniell, James
Lawarren, William Catcher, aldermen, Everard Edmonds, Henry Williams,
Edward Kestell, William Avery, Walter Penarth, Germaine Grees, Francis
Noseworthy, Francis Gregor, Cuthbert Sidenham, Humphrie Sidenham,
Gawen Carverth, Thomas Burgess, jun., Richard Hill, John Adlington,
Nicholas Paule, Edward Grosse, Robert Kemp, Nicholas Stephens, John
Pernall, and William Cosens, burgesses, Hugh Boscawen, esq. recorder,
and John Michell, town-clerk of the said borough and corporation.

“We find also that the Mayor of Truro hath always been, and still is,
Major of Falmouth, as by an ancient grant now in the custody of the
said Mayor and Burgesses doth appear.”


WHITAKER.

Here I shall add some remarks that will illustrate the origin of this
town more than Mr. Tonkin has done.

Truro takes its name from its castle. This, in Leland’s time, belonged
to the Prince of Wales as Earl of Cornwall, and was therefore one of
the castellated palaces of the Cornish Earls; it was only a small one,
however. This the ground of it shows when the walls are gone. Even in
Leland’s time, it was “clene doun;” and the area was used as a place
of exercise for shooting with bows and arrows, and for other
diversions. It “is now,” says Mr. Tonkin, “more like an old Danish
camp or round than a place that had been once inhabited.” What ideas
Mr. Tonkin had of an “old Danish camp,” I cannot say; but the castle
carries no appearance of a camp at all, either Danish, Saxon, or
Roman. Nor is it more like a round, if by “a round” Mr. Tonkin means a
Cornish one, like the amphitheatrical “round” of Piran. The only
remains of the castle, indeed, are the name, a waste area, and the old
mount or keep, the earth of which is nearly gone, and is daily
vanishing by application of it to other purposes. This artificial
mount marks the centre of the castle, had the main tower upon it, and
constituted the principal part of the whole; and a small ward must
have gone round it, standing on the natural ground, and forming the
offices to this petty palace.

This was plainly the origin of the town:――where an ancient Earl’s
house was, however small in its extent, and however occasional in its
use, it naturally drew the traders of the country to it. The wants of
such a Lord’s household, and the accompanying treasury of a kingdom in
a county, created such a call for wares, and produced such a currency
of wealth, as made it for its season the little centre of trade to the
adjoining country; and a town grew up in time, the weakly child of its
castle at first, but able to subsist without the castle at last. Such,
undoubtedly, was the origin of Truro. This lay upon the more westerly
of the two currents; the westerly side of the town, therefore, would
be the primitive and original part of it; accordingly, we see the
White Friars’ house constructed with it. From this current it
extended, as it enlarged, to the easterly one. The erection of a
church on that side, when a district was taken out of Kenwin parish,
and the peninsulated ground between the currents was formed into a
parish of itself, drew it easterly with great power. The town
consisted at first, probably, of the street running from the foot of
the hill on a part of which the castle stood, and extending backwards
with its yards and gardens to the western current; and this part of
course adopted the previous appellation of the castle, and was called
with it Tre-vereu, Tre-ureu, or Truru, Treuro, or Truro, the house or
castle upon the Uro or Uru, the same denomination of a river with that
of the Vere in Hertfordshire, the Vera-lamium of the Itineraries, the
Uro-lanium of Ptolemy, and with that of the Eure in Yorkshire, the
Uluracum, and the Is-urium of the geography and itineraries.

So originating from the castle, in that primary part of the whole, the
western side of the town, and in that most primary point of all, the
line of houses above, the town would naturally shoot out next in the
line of houses opposite to this on each side of the opening towards
the church, and beside the church on each side, drawn on by the strong
attraction of the church itself. The roads into the town from east and
west would then allure it down to their respective passes over the
current; the road from the west then coming down, as it still does, at
the bottom of the first line of houses; and that from the east coming
within these thirty years by the narrow street near the church, at the
corner of which is the rectory-house. The town would then extend from
the western access into it, in a street of houses running at right
angles with the original street of the whole, and pushing directly in
a line from the access. These must have been the three streets from
which Camden supposed the name to have been derived: “Truro,
Cornwallice Treuru, a tribus plateis dictum,” (page 138); but this
last street was afterwards split by the corporation into two, by the
erection of a town-hall above and a market-house below, along the
middle of it. In this state stood the town probably for some time,
with the continuance of this middle row of buildings, with the
erection of a coinage-hall for tin a little beyond the termination of
it, and with the extension of the two original sides of this third
street up to it. It then stretched up the hill towards the castle,
ranged over the confining currents on the east and west, into the
parishes of St. Clement’s and Kenwin, and expatiated down to the quay
and beside it. It ranged over the western current, now probably
covered with a bridge, before it pushed up the hill towards the
castle, as that line of houses is called Kenwin-street, even by
Leland, and this is denominated St. Pancras-street by Mr. Tonkin; that
was then the way, the circuitous way to Kenwin Church, when this is
the direct way, and the present; and the principal alteration which
has happened to Truro since, has resulted from the erection of a new
bridge over the eastern current, longer and grander than the other, a
few yards lower in the channel than it, lining with the eastern road,
and leading directly to the Town-hall and market-house. This naturally
produced a Bridge-street, leading up at one end of the Coinage-hall,
so falling into what was then the principal stem of the town, and thus
communicating with all the branches; and all will be consummated in a
few years by executing an Act of Parliament which has already passed,
in taking down that middle row of buildings which is formed by the
town-hall and its accompaniments, restoring this street to its
original width, and multiplying houses for the dislodged inhabiters in
the extreme parts of the town.

When the church was originally built I know not, but it was then
dedicated to St. Pancras, I apprehend, though it is now to St. Mary,
as the street leading down to one corner of the large area at it,
which is popularly denominated Pider-street at present, is still
denominated St. Pancras-street by Mr. Tonkin; but the present church
of St. Mary is of that light and elegant sort of Gothic architecture
which took place among us in the reign of Henry VII. and which perhaps
might be wished to have still continued among us, as being a happy
union of the solemn solidity of the Gothic and of the luminous
lightness of the Roman. At this period the church must have been
built, the architecture of London by degrees reaching out its
influence into Cornwall; and accordingly in the southern window, which
is the third from the east, is a date of 1518.

But let me be more particular concerning the antiquity of Truro. The
castle is not mentioned in Domesday Book;[6] it was therefore later
than the Conquest. It was built by some of the Norman Earls of
Cornwall, and was one of the rural palaces, as it were, which they had
in the county subordinate to their grand capitals at Launceston,
Tremarton, and Restormel. The town must be still later than the
castle; yet it is noticed within a century after the Conquest, so
nearly coeval was it with its cause, the castle. It is noticed above
to have been in the possession of Richard de Lucy. It was
incorporated, says the Visitation above, “as appeareth by record, by
Richard Lucy, alias Lacam.” “Truro, Truru, or Trevereu,” adds that
best investigator of our constitutional antiquities, because the most
grounded on the evidence of records, Dr. Brady, “was some time in the
possession of Richard de Lucy, a person of great note in the reigns of
King Stephen and Henry II. in the eighth of whose [Henry’s] reign,”
or, an. Dom. 1162, “he was made Justice of England.”[7] This Richard
had got possession of this part of the old estates of the earldom,
either by one of those half-alienations, which were only
sub-infeodations in reality, or (as we shall soon see) by being Earl
of Cornwall himself. He actually resided in the castle, as he is
styled in an instrument of Henry the Second’s, “Ricardi de Lucy
de Trivereu;” and he encouraged the little town of the Earls, by
incorporating it, and so giving it a legal dignity in granting it an
internal jurisdiction. He even proceeded to allow it that last and
highest privilege of a borough, a freedom of exemption from toll; nor
was this confined to the borough itself; it extended beyond it; it
extended into all the country round; it was commensurate with the
whole county; and Richard must, therefore, have acted with a power,
not merely of the lord of the borough, but of the earl of the county,
as no one less than an earl could have given such an ample sweep of
exemption. The proof of all this lies in the original charter of the
town, not now in existence, but referred to in a succeeding charter,
and particularised so as to be equal to the very charter itself. The
town thus began about the year 1100, was incorporated about 1130
perhaps, and was made a free borough (as we shall instantly see)
before 1140.

In the reign of King Stephen, who came to the throne in 1135, and in
the fifth year of it, or 1140, Lucy resigned up the possessions of the
earldom; as then, “Reginald Fitzroy, who was one of the illegitimate
sons of King Henry the First, was created Earl of Cornwall.”[8]
Reginald was, therefore, invested with all that Lucy had possessed.
This he retained till his death, which happened in the 21st of Henry
II.[9] or the year 1175. We accordingly find him extending his more
than half-royal graces to his borough of Truro, by granting it a
charter confirmatory of the privileges which Lucy had conceded to it
before. “The town and borough of Truro,” says the Visitation, “was
incorporated by the name of the Mayor and Burgesses, by Reignald Earl
of Cornwall, natural son to Henry the First (which, as appeareth by
record, was done by Richard Lucy, alias Lacam), testibus Rogero de
Valitort, Roberto de Edune Anvilla, Ricardo de Radiona, Aldredo de
St. Martino, sealed with an ancient seal, with a man on horseback.”
This description shows the charter to have been actually inspected by
the visitors; yet Dr. Brady knows it only from the recital of a
subsequent charter.[10] The original is lost in the Tower, I suppose,
while its counterpart is preserved at Truro; and it runs thus in the
Inspeximus, 13 Edw. I. No. 61. “Reginaldus Regis Filius,” not as in
descriptive terms the son of the King, but merely as a personal and
family appellative, Fitzroy, “Comes Cornubiæ; omnibus Baronibus
Cornubiæ, et omnibus militibus, et omnibus libere tenentibus, et
omnibus tam Anglicis quam Cornubiensibus, salutem. Sciatis, quod
concessi,”――a word that shows even confirmatory charters to do, what
our legal antiquaries are naturally unaware that they do, to use the
language of granting just as if they were original charters, and so
leave us to decide from other circumstances, which are original and
which confirmatory――“Liberis Burgensibus meis de Trivereu,” where the
note of previous freedom in the Burgesses proves them to have been
already freed from toll, “habere omnes liberas consuetudines et
urbanas,” the same exemption from toll that all cities (which were in
the King’s demesne) had, “et easdem in omnibus quas habuerunt in
tempore Ricardi de Lucy,” a plain evidence that they had “free
customs,” and that they themselves, therefore, were “free Burgesses”
in the time of Richard de Lucy, “scilicet Sacham et Socham, et Tholl
et Them, et Hinfangenethuf [Infangthief],” that is, all those rights
of judicature over themselves, and over others who came among them,
that then belonged to all the manorial courts, and that were
necessarily given to the Burgesses of Truro when they were
incorporated, and by incorporation were enabled to exercise a
jurisdiction independent of the common officers of justice: “et
concessi eis, quod non placitent in Hundredis, nec Comitatibus, nec
pro aliquâ summonitione eant ad placitandum alicubi extra villam
Trivereu,” a privilege consequent upon the grant of an internal
jurisdiction, and necessary to its completion: “et quod quieti sint de
Tholneo dando per totam Cornubiam, in feriis et in foris, et ubicunque
emerint et vendiderint,” a privilege which must have been a very
valuable one to a society of traders, and the more valuable from its
long reach over all the fairs and markets of the county: “et quod, de
pecuniâ eorum accreditâ et non redditâ, namium capiant in villâ suâ de
debitoribus suis,” by distraining the cattle, and arresting the
persons of their debtors, that came into the town, though they did not
belong to it.[11] This charter is without a date; with so many and
such witnesses no date being necessary; and as it must have been prior
to the Earl’s death, it was before the year 1175.

Henry the Second confirmed Reginald’s charter, as Reginald confirmed
Lucy’s; and all were re-confirmed by Edward the First in 1284.[12] But
in all these charters, we have no intimation of that grand privilege
which we are sure Truro to have possessed, and which is alluded to in
the Visitation above. “We find also,” says the Visitation, “that the
Mayor of Truro hath always been, and still is, Mayor of Falmouth, as
by an ancient grant, now in custody of the said Mayor and Burgesses,
doth appear.” The superiority of Truro over all the harbour of
Falmouth we see is here attested by a record of 1622; and “an ancient
grant, now in the custody of the Mayor and Burgesses,” is appealed to
by the record. This distinguishing privilege had been ceded to Truro
by a grant of a particular nature; but from the manner in which the
Visitation refers to it, the grant must have been so early as to be
without a date, and so be like Reginald’s and Lucy’s charters before;
and it was probably, therefore, about the same age with them.

THE EDITOR.

Truro has long claimed to be the first town in Cornwall; and the
station has generally been allowed, although several others exceed it
in beauty of situation. Penzance in that respect, as well as in
foreign trade and the magnitude of its internal commerce; and Falmouth
in the number of inhabitants.

Truro, situated adjacent to the largest mining district, at the head
of a navigable river, and nearly in the centre of population, has
acquired the lead in all county concerns, and has the good fortune to
possess many large handsome houses, and breadth of streets unknown in
the other towns. Here, too, for a long series of years, was situated
the chief place of education for the heirs of Cornish families, at a
time when the state of communication between places two or three
hundred miles apart, rendered it a matter of serious importance to
think of sending a lad to either of the public schools. Two very
eminent masters of the school at Truro are still remembered, Mr.
Conor, a layman, from the north of England, or Scotland, by the
tradition of our fathers; and the Rev. Dr. Cardew, by some among the
best classical scholars in both Universities. There is a monument to
Dr. Cardew in St. Erme Church. It is also understood, that their
predecessor, Mr. Jane, either established or maintained the reputation
of this school. Mr. Jane is understood to have been a native of
Leskeard, and a nephew of Doctor William Jane, Regius Professor of
Divinity at Oxford and Dean of Gloucester, who drew up the strong
Declaration adopted by the University in favour of the principles
which would have retained King James on the throne of England, and
when the Revolution was effected, supported the opposite side, which
gave occasion to the following epigrams:

  Decretum figis solenne, Decanus ut esses;
    Ut fieres Præsul, Jane! refigis idem.

  Decretum statuit spe――spe meliore revellit;
    Quàm rectâ Janus pingitur arte bifrons!

The Rev. J. Jane, son of the gentleman who kept the school at Truro,
became a student and tutor at Christ Church, from whenee he retired to
the college living of Iron Acton in Gloucestershire.

Truro has produced its fair proportion of men distinguished by their
proficiencies in literature, arts, sciences, and arms. Of persons
living, I would select the Rev. Richard Polwhele, as an eminent
historian, poet, and divine; and the Right Honourable General Sir
Hussey Vivian, companion in arms of the Duke of Wellington, an active
partaker in the glories of Waterloo, since commander-in-chief of
Ireland, and now (1836) occupying, perhaps, the highest office of the
government not included in the cabinet.

An individual, little if at all remembered, emanated from Truro in the
sixteenth century, if he was not born there. Wood says, in the Athenæ
Oxonienses:

“Thomas Farnabie, the most noted schoolmaster of his time, son of
Thomas Farnabie, of London, carpenter, son of ―――― Farnabie, sometime
Mayor of Truro in Cornwall, was born in London about 1575, and became
a Student of Merton College in 1590; but being wild he made no long
stay there, but left the college very abruptly, and went into Spain,
and was for some time educated in a college belonging to the Jesuits.
He left them, however, and being minded to take a ramble, went with
Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkyns in their last voyage;
afterwards, it is said, he was a soldier in the Low Countries. Having
suffered great distress after his return, he at last succeeded in
establishing a school in Goldsmiths’ Rents, near Red Cross Street in
London, where at one time he made up a number exceeding three hundred
generous youths. At length, upon occasion of some sickness, he removed
about 1636 to Sevenoaks in Kent, in the neighbourhood of which place
(at Oxford) he had purchased an estate, and taught there the sons of
several neighbouring gentlemen, by which he acquired considerable
wealth, and purchased another estate near Horsham in Sussex. He
suffered some loss and imprisonment in the Civil War on account of his
taking the Royalty side, and died at Sevenoaks, where he is buried, in
the chancel of the church, with the following inscription:

  “P. M. Viri ornatissimi Thomæ Farnabii Armigeri, causæ olim Regiæ,
  reique publicæ, sed literariæ vindicis acerrimi, obiit 12 Junii 1647.

    “Vatibus hic sacris qui lux Farnabius olim,
       Vate carens saxo nunc sine luce jacet.”

     His principal works are,
  Notes on the Satyrs of Juvenal and Persius.
  Notes on the Tragedies of Seneca.
  Notes on Martial’s Epigrams.
  Notes on Lucan’s Pharsalia.
  Notes on Virgil.
  Notes on Terence.
  Notes on Ovid.
  A System of Grammar.
  Index Rhetoricus and Oratorius.
  Phrasiologia, Latin and English.
  Anthology of Greek Epigrams, with a Latin Translation.
  Tables of the Greek Language.
  Various Letters to Learned Persons.

Boyle says of him in his Dictionary, that Farnaby was a learned
classic, and that his notes on the greater part of the ancient Latin
Poets have been of much use to young persons; that he dedicated his
Horace to Prince Henry, the eldest son of King James the First, and
that he was most favourably received by the Prince when he presented
his work; and that he received an order, or a request, to make similar
commentaries on all the Latin Poets, in anticipation, in some degree,
of the great work afterwards executed for the King’s son in France.

       *     *     *     *     *

But the most remarkable and striking feature in the history of Truro
consists of the great wealth acquired there by various families in
succession during a long series of years.

The first on record is the family of Roberts, or Robartes, who are
said to have began their career by retail trade in a house remaining
at the commencement of this century, near the north-western extremity
of what has been made the great street, by the improvement of taking
down the middle row of houses, noticed by Mr. Whitaker, and completed
by a new street leading from it southward towards Penryn and Falmouth.

It is possible that the very humble commencement of the Roberts’s
fortunes may have been invented since their splendid elevation, to
augment the wonder; but certain it is, that they resided for several
generations in Truro, conducting extensive mercantile concerns, and
accumulating capital, rather than obtaining it by any sudden effort;
and employing their savings in the acquirement of land by great or
small purchases, or more frequently, perhaps, through the medium of
advancing money on mortgage, till they acquired the most scattered
estate of any in the county. About the reign of James the First, this
family rose into high consideration; they acquired an hereditary seat
in Parliament, in a manner not very honourable at least to the Duke of
Buckingham, and afterwards became decorated with the nominal office of
Earl of Radnor: held the Lord Lieutenancy of Cornwall, with the Lord
Wardenship of the Stannaries; and, lastly, the office of highest
dignity in the gift of the Crown, the Vice-Royalty of Ireland.

The next considerable family emerging from Truro was the Vincents; in
their case the practice of law was added to trade; they repeatedly
represented Truro in Parliament, and were among the first people of
the county. One of their seats was Tresimple in St. Clement’s, now the
property of Mr. Vivian, of Penkalenick in the same parish; but the
family of Vincent has disappeared, and their very memory is almost
extinguished.

After the Vincents will come the Gregors, who have now been for a long
period country gentlemen. The late Mr. Francis Gregor represented the
county in three successive Parliaments, from 1790 to 1806, when he
retired on account of ill health.

The next large fortune acquired at Truro was by Mr. Lemon. A short
account of this very extraordinary person has been given under Germoe
parish. His very splendid career, not merely of acquiring wealth, but
of high reputation for himself and of benefit to his country, began in
the neighbourhood of Penzance; and his removal to Truro is understood
to have been occasioned by the discernment of Mr. Coster, a gentleman
concerned in copper smelting works at Bristol, and a representative in
Parliament for that city.

Mr. Coster greatly augmented his fortune by purchasing the copper ores
of Cornwall, for some time without a competitor; and undertaking to
work some of the Gwennap mines in depth for copper, which had
previously been productive of tin, he selected Mr. Lemon for one of
his partners, with unlimited confidence in managing the whole concern.

Mr. Lemon was succeeded by Mr. Daniell, who took the whole of his
great mercantile concerns off the hands of Mr. Lemon’s executors in
1760, having acquired the command of capital by his marriage with Miss
Elliot, niece of Mr. Allen, of Bath. The late Mr. John Vivian acquired
also a large fortune residing in Truro; and of persons now living,
several might be added to the list.

Mr. Richard Hussey has been noticed in the parish of Feock as an
eminent lawyer, and likely to have attained some of the highest
honours of the profession; he died unmarried in 1770. His father, who
practised in Truro as an attorney, was the son of the Reverend John
Hussey, vicar of Okehampton in Devonshire.

The late Mr. John Thomas may also be included among those who have
acquired fortunes and displayed ability at Truro: after retiring early
in life to Chiverton, a paternal property in Perran Zabuloe, where he
built an excellent house, Mr. Thomas was placed in the honourable
office of Vice-Warden, which he executed with great credit for more
than thirty years.

Among persons distinguished for talents, one cannot omit Mr. Samuel
Foote; he was born here about the year 1720, although the family seat
was Lambessa, in the adjoining parish of St. Clement. His mother was
the sister of Sir John Dinely Goodere and of Samuel Goodere, a Captain
in the Navy, whose history almost equals in depth of misery the
well-known tragedy of Penryn; and it is a curious circumstance that
Mr. Foote’s first publication is a complete narrative of this most
melancholy affair, in a pamphlet signed with his name, and addressed
to Henry Combe, Esq. then Mayor of Bristol, in 1741. Mr. Foote’s life
and adventures are before the public in various forms.

Recently two natives of Truro have distinguished themselves throughout
Europe by a most important geographical discovery. The Mr. Landers, as
is well known, descended a large river from the interior of Africa to
the sea, at what is called the Bite of Benin, where the river loses
itself by flowing in divided streams through a delta created by the
deposit of alluvial debris, brought down from the highlands by the
force of its own current.

A monument is now constructing on an elevated piece of ground at the
southern extremity of the town, in memory of the brother, who has most
unfortunately lost his life in a second expedition, intended for the
establishment of a friendly and commercial intercourse with the
inhabitants of countries thus brought within our reach.

An anecdote seems worth preserving relative to an invention,
completely in anticipation of the use now made of steam for propelling
vessels in all parts of the world. The mere idea of using this
gigantic power instead of the human arm for moving boats and ships
through the water, must have occurred to thousands; the mode of
effecting the application is the real invention.

About sixty years ago Mr. Charles Warrick resided at Truro, a young
man of some family and fortune, and bred to the law; a person of
singular and eccentric habits, displaying much ability and genius in
some cases, with an apparent want of both in others. Mr. Warrick
partook of a taste very common in places situated on navigable rivers,
for spending a large portion of his time on the water, or in making
contrivances relative to navigation; and he constructed a boat with
slender ribs, covered either with canvass or with paper soaked in
substances that excluded water: on each side he appended a wheel
connected together by an axis turned in the middle into the form of a
staple, or what is called a double crank. In this boat he frequently
paddled from Truro to Falmouth Harbour, moving the crank with his
hands, and out-running all other boats; but no one thought of applying
the construction to larger vessels, nor had he, in all probability,
the slightest notion, that within half a century similar wheels and
cranks, moved by steam-engines, would impel vessels of many hundred
tons burden through the most tempestuous seas, and against winds and
tides, over extensive oceans, with a safety and a precision almost
equal to land conveyance.

As illustrative of the changes in all respects, that have taken place
in the last three-quarters of a century, the following curious
relation, although trifling in itself, may be allowed to find a place.

A family about to embark at Falmouth, no longer ago than the year 1748
or 1749, hired a coach and horses in London to convey them there,
a system of travelling practised on the continent up to the present
time; the driver having delivered his charge, made known his desire
for obtaining, what he perhaps denominated a back-freight, on easy
terms, and a party of young men availed themselves of the opportunity,
stipulating, however, that in the event of their reaching a town at
any part of the day where cockfighting would take place in the
evening, the coach should lie by to afford them an opportunity of
being present at the diversion.

Truro has not been measured as a distinct parish, and is therefore
included in Kenwyn.

  Annual value of the Real Property, as        £.  _s._ _d._
    returned to Parliament in 1815           6958   0    0
  Poor Rate in 1831                          1119   4    0
  Population,――{ in 1801, | in 1811, | in 1821, | in 1831,
               {   2358   |   2482   |   2712   |   2925.
    giving an increase of 24 per cent. in 30 years.

It must be observed, that the amount of Real Property, the Poor Rate,
and the Population, relate only to the ward rather than the parish of
St. Mary, constituting Old Truro. In a note attached to the last
Population Abstracts, it is said that the whole town is supposed to
have contained 8,468 inhabitants in the year 1831.

The present Rector of Truro is the Rev. E. Dix, who was presented by
the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe in 1833. The net value of the living, as
returned in 1831, was 135_l._


THE GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

The town of Truro stands on the same kind of argillaceous slate that
prevails in the adjoining parishes of Kenwyn and St. Clement’s.

ST. TUDY.


HALS.

St. Tudy, alias St. Tidy or Tudy, is situate in the hundred of Trigg,
and hath upon the north Michaelstow, east Brewar, south St. Mabyn,
west St. Kew. For those names, they are all synonymous, and signify
St. Udye, or St. Udith, (or the Holy Udith,) referring to the name of
St. Udith, the tutelar guardian and patroness of this church, and by
the name of Mama Tedy or Tidy,[13] i. e. Mother Udith, it was taxed in
the Domesday Book 1087, which plainly shows here was an endowed
rectory church dedicated to her before that time. In the Inquisition
of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester, into the value of Cornish
Benefices, Ecclesia de St. Tudy, in decanatu de Minor Trigshire, was
valued 1294 for its revenues, c_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, £31;
the patronage in ――――; the incumbent Trelawny. This parish was rated
to the four shillings per pound Land Tax for one year, by the name of
St. Udy, £144.

The history of St. Udith is as followeth: she was the natural daughter
of King Edgar, by the lady Wolfchild, who was afterwards made Lady
Abbess or mother of the maids of the Nunnery of Wilton in Wiltshire,
wherein she demeaned herself so well as to her conduct, piety, and
purity, that, as Capgrave tells us, she obtained the reputation of a
saint, though the author of Polychronicon, Liber 6, chapter 9, tells
us, that Bishop Ethel wold sharply reproved her, for deviating from
her rule, and being too curious in her attire; to whom she replied
that God regarded the heart more than garments, and that sin might be
covered as well with rags as robes; to which the Bishop answered,
that, though our corrupt mortal bodies were covered with silk, silver,
and gold, it could neither procure a minute’s life or health for us,
nor hide our sins from God’s sight, but were rather an argument of our
pride and vanity, than sincerity or humility.

After the brother of St. Udith, Edward the Martyr, was slain, St.
Dunstan had a mind to make her Queen of England to defeat Etheldred
the lawful heir, but her piety or policy would not permit her to
accept the proffer: she died Anno Dom. 984, and was buried in the
church of Denis of her own building at Wilton. She is commonly called
Udith the younger, to distinguish her from St. Udith her aunt.

Hengar was formerly the seat of the Billings, alias Trelanders, whose
daughter and heir was married to John Trelawny of Coldrinick, esq. by
whom she had no issue; after his decease she was married to Dr. Lower,
Physician in Ordinary to King Charles the Second, by whom he had three
daughters, one married to Edward Morice of Werrington, esq. (by whom
she had no issue); after his decease she was married to the honourable
Major-General Charles Trelawny, governor of the Royal Citadel of
Plymouth, now in possession of this place. Another daughter was
married to Captain Mitchell; the third to ―――― Lower of St. Winnow.

Pen-vos, alias Pen-vose. It is now the dwelling of Humphrey Nicoll,
esq. Commissioner for the Peace, that married ―――― Cudworth.

In this parish as I take it, or St. Kew, is still to be seen the ruins
of a once famous and treble intrenchment of our ancestors the
Britains, called Dameliock Castle, and taxed by the name of Dimelihoc,
in the Domesday Book 1087, wherein Gothlois, (i. e. purple back or
spear,) Earl of Cornwall immured or fortified himself against Uter
Pendragon’s soldiers: in which place he was by them slain about the
fifth century, as our annalists tell us (see Dundagell).

Damelyock, alias Daimelack, as a monosyllable in British, Scotch, and
Irish, signifies the hazard, skirmish, or battle house or place. The
lands about this fort and castle, since its first erection, have been
enclosed and cultivated, so that now it is comparatively defaced, but
not so much as to obscure this treble ditch, camp, or intrenchment,
from the sight of spectators or observators, or to obliterate its
ancient name aforesaid; but query, whether this Dameliock Castle be
not in St. Kew and St. Teath?

Those Billings, alias Trelawders, mentioned on the other side, were
gentlemen of blood and arms of three or four descents, and at Hengar,
alias Hanger or St. Mabyn, married with the daughters of Blewet of
Colon (who gave for their arms, Gules, a chevron between three eagles
displayed Vert), Babb of Tingraze in Devon, Hockyn of Helland, and
Helston in Cornwall, and gave for their own arms, in a field Or, on a
bend Sable three stag’s or buck’s heads couped at the neck Or, attired
and armed of the Field. The which Billing, heir of St. Mabin, was
married to Hamley of Treblethick 1630.

Note further, that Tredinick of St. Breock gave the same arms as
Billing or Trelawder of Hengar, only differenced with the colour of
the stag’s or buck’s heads, viz. in a field Or, on a bend Sable, three
buck’s heads attired or armed Argent.


TONKIN.

St Tudy, in the hundred of Trigg, hath to the northwest St. Kew, to
the north that and St. Teath, to the east Michaelstow and Brewer, to
the south St. Mabin.

In anno 1291, 20 Edward I. this church by the name of St Tudy, was
valued (Tax. Ben.) at c_s._ having never been appropriated.

This church is a rectory, valued in the King’s Book very high, £31;
the patronage in Christ Church College, Oxford; the present incumbent
Mr. George Allanson (vicar likewise of Budock and Gluvias) who
succeeded ―――― Collier.

The manor of Tinten, id est [as the name appears below to be Tynton,
Din Don, Tin Ton, the hill house. W.]

In the extent of Cornish acres, 12 Edward I. (Carew, fol. 47 b.) this
is valued in twelve.

This was anciently the seat of the family of the same name. Johannes
de Tynten is named among the knights of the county of Cornwall, 17
Edward II. when John de Treiagu was Sheriff (Ibid. fol. 51). Johannes
de Tynton (probably his father, for this was no knight) was one of
those that had £20 per annum of land or rent or more, in the county of
Cornwall, 25 Edward I. John de Tinten held one fee Mort. [of the
honour of Morton] in Tynten, and in Trewinneck, 3 Henry IV. (ibid fol.
42 b.)


THE EDITOR.

The church of this parish is adorned with several splendid monuments,
one to Mr. Anthony Nicoll, who distinguished himself in the Civil War,
and another representing a mother and three daughters kneeling, with
various arms emblazoned over them, Reskymer, Courtenay, Mohun,
Trelawny, &c.

St. Editha, the patroness of this church, as Mr. Hals conjectures on
the assumed authority of Domesday Book, must have acquired a high
degree of sanctity at a very early period of life, having died in her
twenty-fourth year, after passing her time from childhood in the
convent at Wilton, of which her mother was abbess; and, therefore, as
it is observed in the Roman Martyrology, “She may be said rather not
to have known the world than to have left it;” but she fasted, wore
hair-cloth next her skin, and chose to perform every office that was
most disgusting or loathsome. In recompense, her beatitude was
attested, according to William of Malmesbury, in a most decisive
manner; who says, that while Canute celebrated the festival of
Whitsuntide at Wilton, he spoke with ridicule of St. Editha, adding,
that he never could believe the daughter of King Edgar could be a
saint, who had always addicted himself to acts of tyranny, and to the
indulgence of bad passions. Ethelnodus, the archbishop, then present,
contradicted the king, and proceeded to open the tomb of the virgin
saint; when, raising herself up so as to sit, she seemed to attack the
contumaceous king; and he, terrified, fell prostrate on the ground,
apparently without life; but recovering, he expressed great joy, that
by a renovation of his existence he found himself in a situation to be
penitent for his fault.

The presentation to this rectory is in the Dean and Canons of Christ
Church. The Rev. Charles Hodgson, late student, presented in 1817, is
the present incumbent.

The whole parish appears to be well cultivated, notwithstanding that
it adjoins the granite district of St. Breward or Simonward, and it is
agreeably diversified by hill and dale.

It appears from Mr. Lysons that the manor of St. Tudy belonged to the
family of Nicoll, but that it was sold together with Penrose, the
family seat, to Mr. Trehawke of Leskeard, by whom they have been
devised to Samuel Kekewich, esq.

The manor of Tinten, like so many others, either gave its name to the
ancient proprietors, or received it from them. An heiress took it to
the Carminows of Boconnoc. The Carminow property passed to the
Courtenays, and fell to the Crown on the attainder of the Marquis of
Exeter. This manor was included by King Henry the Eighth in the
exchange given for the honour of Wallingford.

The manor of Kellygreen belongs to Walter Raleigh Gilbert, esq.

Tremeer was a seat of the Lowers, the birth-place of Sir William
Lower, the author of various works.

He died in 1662.

Here also was born Richard Lower, M.D. brother of the former, who
lived to the year 1690. This gentleman published various medical
works, and some papers in the Philosophical Transactions. One of his
works, “Tractatus de Corde, item Motu et Calore Sanguinis et Chyli in
eorum transitu,” reached a third edition in England, and was reprinted
abroad.

Hengar is a handsome seat, very pleasantly situated on a rising
ground, and at a small distance from the house a prospect is obtained
of great extent and beauty, in consequence of an admixture of all the
varieties of scenery which distinguish Cornwall――granite mountains,
undulating hills of the slate formation, deep valleys with streams of
water, and trees, and finally the sea. This place was the occasional
residence of Matthew Michell, esq. acquired under the will of Samuel
Michell, a Colonel in the Guards, who died there in 1786, after
attaining his eighty-fifth year. Mr. Matthew Michell has left this
place with all his property to his widow, who is again married to a
gentleman of the name of Searle.

GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

This parish no where reaches so far as the granite hills. Its eastern
part is composed of rocks which pass into the porphyritic series
of St. Breward; the western part rests on the same kind of rocks as
those of the adjoining parish of St. Teath.


     [13] No such name appears in the index to Domesday Book; nor should
we expect it. On the contrary, this place is probably the Tewardevi of
the Domesday survey. _Edit._




TYWARDRETH.


HALS.

Tywardreth is situate in the hundred of Powder, and hath upon the
north Lanlivery and Luxillian, south the British Channel, east Giant
and Fowey Town, west St. Blazey. The name signifieth the house upon
the sand; and by the same name of Tywardrai, it was taxed in the
Domesday Book 1087. In the inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and
Winchester into the value of Cornish Benefices 1294, Ecclesia de
Tywardreth, in decanatu de Powdre, was valued at cvi_s._ viii_d._; in
Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, £9. 6_s._ 8_d._; the patronage formerly in
the abbat of Tywardreth, now Rashleigh; the incumbent ―――― Woolridge;
the rectory in Rashleigh; and the parish rated to the four shillings
per pound Land Tax 1696, for one year £205. This church is wholly
appropriated or impropriated to the prior or abbat of Tywardreth,
before the statute of Richard II.; and the vicar was paid only with
£11 modus or stipend per annum, out of the Duchy Exchequer of
Lestwithiel. It was the chief alien priory in those parts, which name
of alien priors or abbats arose soon after the Norman Conquest, when
certain Englishmen, Normans, and French, gave lands in England to
Monasteries beyond the seas; upon which the monks built convenient
houses for increasing the number of those under their own rule,
and to inspect their revenues and tithes, in which houses they planted
a suitable number of monks, under a superior or steward. This priory
or abbey was therefore accordingly made subject to the Abbey of St.
Sergius and Bacchus of Angiers in France, soon after the Norman
Conquest (to whom also is dedicated their church of Luxillian).

The history of whom is as followeth: These saints were Christians and
Noblemen of the City of Constantinople; the one Primicerius, and the
other Secondicerius; that is to say, Sergius the First, and Bacchus
the Second, Secretaries of State to the Emperor Maximian; who for that
they would not join with him in sacrificing to the Roman gods or
idols, were cruelly tormented by the common hangman, and lastly had
their heads chopped off, 7th October 310. There is pious mention of
those saints in the Second Nicene Council, Martyrologers, and
otherwise; and many churches are dedicated to them in Constantinople,
and other parts of Christendom; and the place in Asia where St.
Sergius suffered, is called Sergiopolis to this day.

This abbey was first founded by William Earl of Morton and Cornwall,
according to the rule of Augustine and Benedict. It was afterwards
re-edified and greatly augmented in its revenues by Robert de
Cardinham, tempore Richard I. 1190, (see the Monasticon Anglicanum of
Dugdale); for which reason he is by some persons taken to be the
founder thereof.

This Robert de Cardinham I take to be the same person mentioned by the
name of Robert de Cardinam, (Survey Cornwall, page 44), who held by
the tenure of knight service seventy-one knight’s fees of Morton in
Cornwall, tempore Richard I.

This abbey or priory house and church of Tywardreth, was dedicated to
St. Andrew the Apostle and Martyr of Christ, whose history followeth.
He was born at Bethsaida in the province of Galilee, elder brother of
St. Peter, and disciple of St. John Baptist, and was present when
he pointed at Jesus, saying, “Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away
the sins of the world;” whereupon he left St. John Baptist and
followed Christ. Who, for that, after our Saviour’s Crucifixion, he
would not sacrifice to the Roman Gods or Idols, at the command of
Egeus Proconsul of Rome, sent governor into the province of Achaia,
was crucified as his Lord and Master was, 30 November, Anno Dom. 60,
in the reign of the Emperor Nero.

His body was afterwards translated to Constantinople, from thence to
Italy, and lastly to Amalphy in Naples, where it still remains.

       *     *     *     *     *

Now, by reason these alien priories transmitted to their superiors
beyond the seas the news and state of affairs in this land, whereby
the designs and undertakings of our princes were divulged to their
enemies in their French wars; therefore all those sort of religious
houses of this kind were suppressed by Act of Parliament, tempore
Edward III. Richard II. Henry V. and Henry VI.; and amongst them in
Cornwall, Minster, alias Tolcarne, in Trigmajor, and Minster in
Kerryer; St. Neot and St. Bennett’s in Lanyvet in Pider were put down,
and their lands confiscated to the Crown; but this priory of
Tywardreth, for its loyalty or integrity, or for some other reason of
security, stood firm till the general dissolution of all those
religious houses, 26 Henry VIII. when the revenues of this abbey,
according to Dugdale, was £123. 9_s._ 3_d._ Speed £151. 6_s._ 8_d._ as
is set down in their Monasticon Anglicanum.

Mena-belly, alias Mena-billy, in this parish, is the dwelling of
Jonathan Rashleigh, esq. Commissioner for the Peace and Taxes, and
some time Member of Parliament for Fowey, that married Carew of
Anthony, his father Sawle, his grandfather Bonython, his
great-grandfather Lanyon. Originally descended and denominated from
the local place of Rashleigh house, in or about Raneleigh parish in
Chulmleigh Hundred in Devon.

In this parish, towards the sea coast, is that famous camp or treble
intrenchment, called Castle Dore, consisting of a threefold trench
cast up of earth, in which heretofore our ancestors the Britons
fortified themselves against their enemies; out of which, as common
report saith, tempore Charles II. some dreamers of money hid in this
camp or place, upon search made, accordingly found such treasure as
they much enriched themselves thereby.


TONKIN.

Trewardreth is in the hundred of Powder; for the name, it signifies
the village or the house upon the sand. It is a vicarage, not valued
in the King’s Book, as having been but lately endowed; the late
incumbent was Mr. May, likewise Rector of St. Mewan, who died this
year (1732).

In the year 1291, 20th Edward I. the rectory of this church was valued
at £5. 6_s._ 8_d._ being appropriated to the priory here; and the
vicarage at 13_s._ 4_d._

In 3 Henry IV. William de Campo Arnulphi [or Champernoun] held here
one fee, from whom the prior held three acres and a half in the same.
There are what are still called the priory lands. But to go further
back, as Robert de Cardinam was the founder of this priory in the time
of Richard the First, according to Bishop Tanner in his Notitia
Monastica, this must be one of the seventy knight’s fees, which the
said Robert held in this county, 6th Richard I. who by consequence
must then have been lord of this manor. In Domesday Book it is, by the
name of Tiwardrai, numbered among the manors which William the
Conqueror gave to Robert Earl of Morton, when he made him Earl of
Cornwall.

Leland says of this place, Tywardreth, “A praty town, but no market,
lieth a quarter of a mile from the east side of the bay; there is a
parish church, and there was a priory of black monks, a cell sometime
to a house in Normandy. Some say Campernulphus was founder of this
priory; some say that Cardinham was founder. Arundell of Lanherne was
of late taken for the founder.

“I saw a tomb in the west part of the church of this priory, with this
inscription:

          Hæc est Tumba
       Roberti filii Wilhelmi.

  “This Robert Fitz William was a man of fair lands, tempore Edwardi
  tertii Regis Angliæ.”


THE EDITOR.

The parish church and tower bear on the exterior an appearance of
antiquity. Internally, much decoration was displayed, and especially
by a rood-loft which has been recently taken down. These alterations
of our ancient churches are justly lamented by all persons capable of
admiring the beauty and imposing splendour of Gothic architecture, but
they seem to have almost inevitably grown out of the change of purpose
to which churches are applied. Originally, the chancel, protected by
the rood loft and by a veiled entrance, was destined for the
astounding miracle of repeatedly transforming bread and wine into the
actual body and blood of Christ, while the outward or less sacred part
of the edifice, was used for processions and scenic exhibitions;
accompanied by dirges or by triumphant choruses, adapted either to the
death or to the resurrection of our Saviour. In modern times, on the
contrary, a room is required so constructed as to admit of whole
congregations joining with an individual in prayers, or of listening
to his instruction.

The monastery has so completely disappeared, that its precise locality
was not remembered; but a gentleman of the neighbourhood having taken
considerable pains to ascertain whatever could yet be discovered
about it, made the following communication to the Gentleman’s Magazine
in 1822.

     “The ancient priory of Tywardreth has long been so entirely
     levelled with the ground, that it is not very easy even to
     ascertain its site. Some time ago the present vicar obtained
     leave to dig the ground on its supposed site in search of stones
     for erecting a vicarage house. The place where he made an
     excavation for this purpose appears to have been the east end of
     the priory chapel; and as some measurements were taken at the
     time, and I have, with the permission of the landlord, opened the
     ground in several places, partly with the hope of ascertaining
     the form of the chapel, and partly of throwing some light on its
     architecture, the following particulars may not be unacceptable.

     “The chapel appears, so far as could be ascertained by
     measurement, to have been eighty feet long, by fifty-seven wide,
     with a semicircular end towards the east, strengthened by four
     buttresses of wrought Pentewan stone, two feet wide, and
     ornamented by four pilasters; within the shafts are a single
     half-column, fourteen inches in diameter. At each angle was a
     handsome piece of architecture, as it was described to me, of
     which pilasters, resembling those already described, formed a
     part, but with the base five inches wide, and the mouldings in
     proportion.

     “In the vicarage garden, adjoining the west end of the chapel, a
     fragment of a stone arch was found, with a fleur-de-lis elegantly
     carved in deep relief; the same devise appears on the church
     stile, and in a coat of arms in one of the windows of the church,
     and appears from Tanner to have been part of the arms of the
     priory. The wall of the chapel is the south wall of the
     churchyard.

     “The chapel was paved with beach pebbles, and was built partly of
     common clay slate raised on the spot; the wrought stones were of
     compact hard porphyry, from Pentewan Quarry in the parish of St.
     Austell, and hornblende from the cliff between Duporth and
     Charlestown in the same parish. All the carved work is executed
     with much skill and taste.”

Several charters granted to this monastery are preserved in Dugdale’s
Monasticon. The earliest is in the 19th year of Henry the Third, A. D.
1234, as follows:

     “Henricus Dei gratia Rex Angliæ, Dominus Hiberniæ Dux Normandiæ
     et Aquitaniæ, et Comes Andegaviæ, omnibus Archiepiscopis, &c.
     salutem. Inspeximus cartam Roberti de Cardinam, in hæc verba:――

     “Robertus de Cardinam omnibus Sanctæ Matris Ecclesiæ filiis
     salutem. Sciatis me, pro Dei amore et animæ meæ salute,
     concessisse et præsenti carta mea confirmasse ecclesiæ sanctorum
     martyrum, Sergii et Bachi Andegavi, et ecclesiæ Sancti Andreæ de
     Tywordrait et Monachis ibidem Deo servientibus et servituris,
     omnes donationes et concessiones quas antecessores mei, seu
     quicunque fideles de feodo meo ipsis fecerint,” &c.

The seal of the convent is understood to have been a saltire, or St.
Andrew’s cross Or, between four fleurs-de-lis, which accounts for the
sculptures noticed above.

St. Andrew became the patron saint of Scotland, and popular throughout
the whole island, after an Abbat, said to have borne the name of
Regulus, had brought some of his relics to a place then called
Abernethy, but where a Monastery, a University, and a city, have since
arisen to commemorate the Apostle.

The priory of Tywardreth appears to have been suppressed with the
other alien houses, but afterwards to have been re-established as an
independent society, or made denizen according to the legal phrase,
having at the time of the general dissolution the Priory of Minster
attached to it as a cell, which had been originally dependent with
itself on the Abbey of St. Sergius and St. Bacchus at Angiers, the
former capital of Anjou, and now of the department of the Maine and
Loire.

A very curious correspondence between Thomas Cromwell, Vicar-General
and Vicegerent of the King’s Supremacy on the one part, and Thomas
Collyns the last Prior on the other, is said to exist among the
papers and documents preserved by the Arundells of Lanhearn, and of
Wardour Castle in Wiltshire.[14]

In one of the letters Cromwell is understood to have complimented the
Prior on the possession of every active virtue, especially as
displayed in the good government of his convent; he assures him that
the King is fully sensible of his merits; and in consideration of his
great age and faithful services, the King out of special grace and
favour would allow him not only to resign the painful office of
governing such a society, but would admit of his recommending a
successor.

Collyns’s answer is full of thanks to the Lord Vicegerent, and of
gratitude to the King, whose approbation he esteemed above all worldly
matters, and next to the conscious satisfaction of having discharged
faithfully his duties towards the Almighty in the station to which it
pleased God that, without any merits of his own, he should be
advanced. He offered his most humble and grateful thanks to the King
for the great favours profferred to him; but that, feeling his health
and strength sufficient for enabling him to continue the discharge of
duties which the King had approved, he owed it to his conscience not
to withdraw from them.

This brought a letter from Cromwell, declaring that the horrible
savour of his sins, his crimes, and his iniquities had ascended before
the Lord; and that, unless he immediately relinquished an office which
he had most grossly abused, an ecclesiastical commission would proceed
to inquire into his misdeeds, and to punish him accordingly. This
latter is understood to have produced either an immediate surrender of
the priory, or Collyns’s resignation preparatory to it. He was elected
in 1506, and died in 1539, as appears from his tombstone in the
chancel.

The site of this priory was granted in 1542 to Edward Seymour, then
Earl of Hertford, afterwards Duke of Somerset, and Protector. It
subsequently became the joint property of the St. Aubyns and the
Pendarveses of Roscrow. The late Lord Dunstanville inherited the
latter portion, and acquired the former by purchase.

It seems that a manor of Tywardreth, which in early times must have
been paramount over the others, passed from Ricardus Dapifer to the
Cardinhams. Mr. Lysons says it was sold towards the latter part of the
13th century, by Isolda de Cardinham to the Champernownes, for a
hundred pounds. From this family it passed to the Herles and
Bonvilles, and fell to the Crown on the attainder of the Duke of
Suffolk in 1554. It belonged to the family of Rashleigh, in the early
part of the subsequent century; with whom it still remains, including
the entire impropriation of the great and small tithes.

Menabilly has been the seat of that distinguished family for a period
of at least two hundred years. At the last visitation of the Heralds
in 1620, Jonathan Rashleigh of Fowey, who married Alice, daughter of
―――― Bonithan of Kertleowe, is said to be alive, having two sons. The
eldest John Rashleigh, aged 34, and Jonathan Rashleigh the second.
John Rashleigh, ancestor of these two brothers, in the fifth degree,
is stated to have been of Barnstaple.

Individuals of this family have represented Fowey during the reign of
Queen Elizabeth, Charles the First, Charles the Second, and King
William; and since the accession of King George the Second, up to very
recent times, scarcely a Parliament has been assembled that could not
count a Rashleigh among its members.

Mr. Jonathan Rashleigh was elected Member for Fowey in 1728, and
continued to represent that town in eight successive Parliaments, and
in the last with his eldest son.

This gentleman married Mary, daughter of Sir William Clayton of
Surrey, and died in 1764, leaving a very numerous family, all of whom
have been distinguished as persons of ability, of integrity, and of
honour, followers of the best advice said ever to have been given by a
parent.

  Αιεν αριστευειν, και ὑπειροχον εμμεναι αλλων,
  Μηδε γενος πατερων αισχυνεμεν.

Mr. Philip Rashleigh, the eldest brother, represented Fowey during a
length of time almost equal to that of his father. He greatly improved
the family seat, but especially distinguished Menabilly by placing
there the most extensive and magnificent collection of Cornish
minerals, enriched by others from every part of the known world, that
could any where be seen. And Mr. Rashleigh has given to the public, in
two thin quarto volumes, fifty-three coloured plates, with
descriptions of the most choice or rare specimens. The work is
entitled, “Specimens of British Minerals, selected from the Cabinet of
Philip Rashleigh, with general descriptions of each article,” printed
by Bulmer and Co. the first volume in 1797, and the second in 1802. At
the end of the second volume is added a Geological Plate, being a
section of the stream work at Porth in the parish of St. Blazey, about
a quarter of a mile from high water-mark, containing the position and
measurement of ten distinctly marked deposits, with subdivisions,
accompanied by descriptions of each; the whole extending to a depth of
44 feet: and what adds to the value of this section, the stream work
was destroyed by a very high tide about the period when the volume was
published.

In addition to this scientific collection, Mr. Rashleigh constructed a
grotto at some distance from the house, encrusted on the inside by
some common but splendid minerals, exhibiting also the position of
lodes, their heaves, their slides, &c. and this was liberally thrown
open to all persons applying for admission.

Mr. Rashleigh married very late in life, and dying without children,
left his ample estate to William, the eldest son of his next brother,
the Reverend Jonathan Rashleigh, Rector of Silverton in Devonshire.

Mr. William Rashleigh succeeded his uncle in the representation of
Fowey, but voluntarily retired from public life to enjoy domestic
happiness, with the esteem and regard of every one who has good
fortune to be numbered among his acquaintances.

Polkerris, a small harbour near Menabilly, as indeed is indicated by
the first syllable of the name, has been improved, perhaps as a matter
of fancy, by the Rashleigh family. Mr. Jonathan Rashleigh built a pier
capable of giving shelter to coasting vessels and boats; and his son
the late Mr. Philip Rashleigh continued a sean fishery for the benefit
of the neighbourhood.

Kilmarth, which formerly belonged to a family called Baker, is also
the property of Mr. Rashleigh; the house is placed on a very elevated
piece of ground near the road leading from St. Austell to Fowey.

Treveryan once belonged to a branch of the Courtenays: it passed by a
purchase to John Thomas, esq. by whom the house was built. Mr. Thomas
devised it to the Reverend John Thomas Thomson, who died at Penzance
in 1811; and the estate now belongs to his son Henry Thomson, esq.
resident at Lostwithiel, a magistrate, and late a captain in the
Cornwall militia.

GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

The extreme northern part of this parish, in an angular form, extends
upon the granite, surrounded on all sides by the granite of Lanlivery.
The remaining parts of the parish are composed of schistose rocks,
which next the granite are of the porphyritic series, but become of a
doubtful nature in the southern extremity; these latter belong perhaps
to the calcareous series, as do also some of the rocks in the
adjoining parish of Fowey. The felspathic rocks next the granite, like
those of St. Austell, are metalliferous, as is proved by the important
mines of Lanescot and Fowey Consols.

ST. VEEP.


HALS.

St. Veep is situate in the hundred of West, and hath upon the north
St. Wenow, east Lanreth, south Lanteglos, west Fowey river or haven.
It was the church of the Abbat or Prior of St. Carock’s monastery in
this parish, for whom William Earl of Morton built and first endowed
it.

In the Domesday Book 1087, this district was taxed under the
jurisdiction of Lanreth. In the inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln
and Winchester 1294, Ecclesia de Wepe or Weep, in decanatu de West,
was rated c_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, £5. 0_s._ 6_d._ by the
name of St. Wepe. The patronage formerly in the prior of St. Carock,
now in Wrey; the incumbent ―――― Tyncomb; the rectory in possession of
―――― Wrey; and the parish rated to the four shillings per pound
Land Tax 1696, for one year, £229.

In this parish is the priory called Carock St. Pill, in which place
William Earl of Morton and Cornwall founded and endowed an house of
Cluniac monks, and dedicated the same to St. Sergius.

In this cell of St. Syriac lived that celebrated author Walter de
Exeter, a Benedictine Monk 1292, as Isaack in his Memorials of Exeter
calls him, with greater probability than that he was a Dominican
friar, as Bale saith, or a Franciscan friar as Mr. Carew tells us
(Survey of Cornwall, page 59); who, at the request of Baldwin of
Exeter, writ the life of Guy Earl of Warwick, who was the son of
Syward Baron of Wallingford, and married Felicia, daughter and heir of
Rohand Earl of Warwick; which Guy, at the request of King Athelstan,
fought a combat with Colbrand the Danish giant, and slew him, since
which time his valour and conduct hath been very famous.

And Walter of Exeter for this book, and his skill in other histories,
hath by Bale given him this character:――“In historiarum cognitione non
fuit ultimus,” that he was none of the meanest historians of his time;
though Mr. Carew saith he only deformed the history of Guy of Warwick.

The house and chapel aforesaid, except the windows, is now quite
dilapidated, the burying place made a garden, and a new dwelling house
erected near it with the stones thereof on its barton lands, now
pertaining to the heirs of Carter and Sillye. The fee-farm rent of £5
per annum is paid to the king or prince, and is exempted from payment
of tithes.

In this parish at Botowne, i. e. cow town, is the dwelling of ――――
Hawke, gentleman.


TONKIN.

St. Veep, in the hundred of West, is bounded to the west by the river
Fowey, to the north by St. Winnow, to the east by Lanreath, to the
south by Lanteglos.

This is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Book, £5; the patronage in
Sir Bourchier Wrey, Bart.

In anno 1201, 20 Edw. I. the rectory of this church was valued (Tax.
Ben.) at c_s._ being appropriated to the Priory of Montacute in
Somerset; but “vicar ejusdem taxatur nihil propter paupertatem.”

The chief, or at least one of the most noted estates in this parish, is


THE MANOR OF MANELY OR MENELY.

This, in the extent of Cornish acres, 12 Edw. I. is valued in twelve.
(Carew, fol. 49.) In 3 Henry IV. Matilda de Hewish held half of a
small fee of Mort. [Morton honour] in Manely. (Ibid. fol. 42.)


THE EDITOR.

The church of this parish is situated on an elevated ridge of land,
and is therefore conspicuous to a considerable distance. It contains
several monuments, and in the churchyard is a memorial of Nicholas
Courtenay, one of the family to whom lands in this parish, parcel of
Montacute priory, were granted by King Henry the Eighth.

There are two places in St. Veep especially deserving of attention.
One the site of an ancient monastery constituted on the smallest
scale.

Tanner has given a list of the various names by which this little
priory appears to have been called in early times. St. Syriac, St.
Ciriac, St. Carricius, St. Kerrocus, St. Cyret, and St. Julette. It
was a small cell of two monks only, dependent on Montacute; and being
mentioned by Gervase of Canterbury, it is known to have existed at the
least so early as the time of King Richard the First.

The church of St. Currie, or Karentocus, was given to the monks of
Montacute by their founder.

This cell occurs but once in Pope Nicholas’s Taxation.

Prior de Sancto Karabo (or by a various reading S^{to}. Karoko) habet de
redditu in decanatu de Westweleschire, et Major Tregeschire, £2.

In the valuation returned to King Henry the Eighth, and preserved in
the Augmentation Office, this small establishment is said to possess a
revenue of £11. 1_s._

It appears to have been valued as a separate house from the parent
establishment, although the return states, Cella Sancti Kaboci in
comitatu prædicto, dicto Prioratui de Monte Acuto appertinens, unde
Laurencius Castelton est Prior, est dative et removabile dicti Prioris
de Monte Acuto.

The site was granted in the 37th of Henry VIII. as parcel of the
possessions of Montacute, to Laurence Courtenay.

St. Cyric’s Creek, by which this house stood, is said to have derived
its name from a saint so called, who was buried there, perhaps in the
very place where the small monastery stood. The place has long since
acquired the appellation of St. Cadix; it belongs to the coheiresses
of the family of Wymond.

It is certainly a curious circumstance, that a work which engaged the
attention and even the admiration of England for a long period of
years, should have emanated in any way from a remote cell, consisting
of two monks. Mr. Carew assigns 1292 for the date of this work; but
Mr. Warton says, in his History of English Poetry, that a life of Guy
Earl of Warwick was written by Giraldus Cambrensis, who died about the
year 1220; but the history of our renowned champion has been composed
in Norman French, and in old English, both in prose and in verse;
moreover, the first part of the romance describing the adventures of a
_preux chevalier_ combating _à la outrance_ to recommend himself to
the favour of his lady love, is clearly by a different hand, and even
of another age from the second part, which represents him deserting
the idol of his affection; journeying to Palastine; and on his
arrival back to England, instead of repairing to Warwick Castle, the
abode and rich inheritance of his wife the Lady Felicia, retiring to a
cell, and taking alms at the castle gate, on the supposition that a
powerful and malignant demon, the creation of perverted imagination in
those times of ignorance, and blasphemously named after the Divinity,
might be propitiated by such disgusting observances, and by human
misery. The monk of St. Cyric may therefore have blended, enlarged,
abridged, versified, or rendered into prose the achievements of Sir
Guy, and his performance may have been peculiarly suited to the taste
of his age.

The second place to be noticed is Trevelyan, the original seat of the
very ancient and respected family that has resided for the last three
hundred years at Nettlecombe in Somersetshire, which they acquired by
a marriage with the heiress of Whalesborowe. The names of
Whalesborough and of Trevelyan occur among the Sheriffs of Cornwall in
the time of the Plantagenets, and also together as representatives of
the county; and the name of Trevelyan may be found in the same lists
for the county of Somerset. It is extraordinary that of this ancient
seat one half only belongs to the family. It would almost suggest the
suspicion of the other part being lost from want of attention, when
the intercourse between distant places was interrupted by difficulties
unknown to modern travellers. Few traces remain of the ancient
mansion.

Mr. Lysons notices several manors in this parish, with their descents
or sales, but without any thing that can make them interesting, except
perhaps the notice that a manor called Manely Coleshill formed a part
of the ample estate possessed by Lord Chief Justice Trevilyan.

Mr. Howell and Mr. Rashleigh are proprietors. The advowson of the
vicarage is divided, and in private patronage.

The Rev. Nicholas Every the present incumbent.

It is said that the cavalry commanded by King Charles the First
was stationed at St. Veep when the infantry of the opposite army
capitulated at Fowey. This station was probably selected for the
purpose of preventing a retreat to Plymouth; which however the cavalry
effected by passing the river some miles higher up, but not without
much blame attaching to many officers on the royalist side, and
especially to General Goring.

VERYAN.


HALS.

Veryan is situate in the hundred of Powder, and hath upon the north
Tregony and Ruan Lanyhorne, east Caryhayes, west Philley, south the
British Channel.

Sure I am that in the Domesday Book 1087, this church or district
was taxed under the name and jurisdiction of Elerchy, situate
upon the lands of the Bishop of Bodman, now the Bishop of Exeter’s
manor of Elerchy; and by the same name it was taxed in the inquisition
of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester 1294, where we read Ecclesia
de Elerky in decanatu de Powdre £10. vicar’ ejusdem 40_s._; and in
Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, alias St. Verian as aforesaid, £19; the
patronage in the Bishop of Exeter; the incumbent ――――; the rectory
in possession of ――――; and the parish rated to the four shillings
per pound Land Tax 1696, for one year, £216. 9_s._ by the name of
Verian.

Note further, that Cæsar in his Commentaries mentions several places
in Gallia, called Elerci and Aulerci, from whence this word came into
Britain. Those were of four sorts, viz. Aulerci Eburorices, now Eureæ
in Normandy, Aulerci Diablentres, Aulerci Cenomanni, now Mans, and
Elerci Branovices.

In this parish is the dwelling by lease of Richard Trevanion, gent.
captain of a foot company in the militia, that married ―――― Maunder,
his father ――――, his grandfather Arundell, originally descended from
the Trevanions of Tregarthin and Caryhayes, and giveth the same arms
with them. His son Richard, that married ―――― Verman, was bred up in
the school of Mars, under King William III. in his wars, wherein he
accompanied him as captain of a foot company in all his Irish and
Flanders war; and lastly, was posted to the command of Pendenis Castle
in Cornwall, where he died. His son Nicholas was also bred up in the
marine regiments of King William III. and afterwards had the command
of the ――――, a third-rate man-of-war, and demeaned himself so well
therein, in point of valour and conduct, that after King William’s
death, he was knighted by Queen Anne, and is now one of the
commissioners at the dock of Plymouth for the Admiralty.

In this parish also at ――――, by lease, is the dwelling of John Robins,
esq. some time Commissioner for the Peace and Taxes, that married ――――
Thomas, his father ―――― Lawry, his grandfather ――――, and giveth for
his arms, of a supposed allusion to his name, Argent, a fess nebulé,
between three Robin Red-breasts Proper; whereas, robin in Cornish is
Robert in English, and roobron is red-breast.

In the Domesday Book are taxed also the vokelands of two other manors,
which I take it are now dismembered and situate in this parish, viz.
Treviles, or Trefilies, and Govile.


TONKIN AND WHITAKER.

Veryan is in the hundred of Powder, and is bounded to the west by St.
Just, [by Gerrans,] by Philleigh, by Ruan Lanyhorne, and by St. Cuby,
[by Ruan Lanyhorne and the Fal,] to the east by St. Ewe and St.
Michael Carhays, to the south by Gerrans and the sea [rather by the
sea only, Gerrans being only west and south-west].

The name of this parish is a corruption, or rather abbreviation of St.
Symphorian, of which name there are two; one, saith Mr. Willis (Not.
Parl. vol. II. page 119), “born (as the Legenda Aurea tells us) in
Augustinum, the head city of Burgundy, where he suffered martyrdom on
the 22d of August, about the year 270.” The other [Mr. Willis’s own
words are these, “though besides this person, I find mention made of
another St. Simphorian, in Leland’s Collectanea, vol. I. a martyr,
buried with St. Wolfran a Bishop at Grantham, to whose memory that
church is dedicated. This St. Wulfran’s festival [was] celebrated the
15th of October.” (Note, that in many fines, records, &c. this parish
is called Sancta Symphrogia, or Simphrosia, who was wife to Getulius,
a rich citizen of Rome, and suffered martyrdom with him and seven of
her sons at Rome, A. D. 136, under Adrian. See Le Seur, Hist. de
l’Eglise et l’Empire, vol. I. page 516).

This church is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Book, £19; the
patronage in the Dean and Chapter of Exeter; the incumbent Mr.
Fincher; the sheaf in Mr. Richard Kempe of Tregony, by lease [from Mr.
Weston, who had a lease transmitted, I believe, from his father,
Bishop Weston]; who resigning in 1734, was succeeded by Mr. Question.

But the antient name of this parish was Elerky, and so it is still
called in the King’s Book, as it is too in Taxatio Benefic. 20 Edw. I.
“Ecclesia de Elerky 10 lib. vicar’ ejusdem, xl. solid.” from the great


MANOR OF ELERKY.

In Domesday Book it is called Elerchi, which signifies the swan’s
house or swannery; for Elerk in Cornish is a swan, and there are the
remains of a large pool under the house, which seems to have been
designed to that end.

It is in the said book inserted among the manors given by William the
Conqueror, to his half-brother Robert Earl of Morton and Cornwall.

Francis Tregian, esq. among the rest of his estates, forfeited his
half of this manor.


WHITAKER.

The original name of this parish was the same with the name of the
manor Elerchi, or Elerky; that the appellation of the manor in
Domesday Book, this in the present time, and both derived from the
manerial house. This house stood upon a rising ground, nearly opposite
to the church, and on the west of it, which is now covered with
several houses of a mean condition, and yet marked as something
considerable to the eye, by a grove of tall trees upon it. The great
house, which the ancestors of these trees shaded, has been long down,
I suppose; and the mean houses on the ground have been constructed of
the poorest remains of it. It was bounded on the south by the lane
leading down to its own mills, still called Elerky Mills, and
distinctively noted as higher and lower; and on the east and north by
its lively brook, without a name, that divides the glebe from the
manor, then environs the house, and finally runs to the two mills
below. The manor is accordingly noticed so late as the 5th of Charles
the First, to have two mills within it. These mills even now proclaim
their original relation to each other, by the restrictions which the
higher is under to the lower, in not being able to keep up the water
from the other, beyond a certain space of time. And the house thus
environed by the brook could not have been very small, as it was the
mansion of a district, which in the 12th of Edward the First was
reckoned at forty-two acres, when so many are valued in much less, and
when so few are valued in more; but whence is the original name of
this house derived? Mr. Tonkin derives it from Elerk (C.) a swan, and
makes Elerky to signify the swannery, adding, that “there are the
remains of a large pool under the house, which seems to have been
designed to that end.” In all that part of antiquarian researches
where the eye is to be assisted by the imagination, and the past to be
collected from the broken appearances of the present; every active and
lively mind is apt to cry out against the creative fancies of the
antiquarian poet, and to exclaim in the language of Shakspeare,

  ――――As imagination bodies forth
  The form of things unseen, the Poet’s pen
  Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
  A local habitation and a name.

But this spirit of exclamation should be checked. What depends in any
degree upon imagination, may by minds without imagination be easily
turned into ridicule. What is only to be inferred by slow and painful
collation of circumstances, will be ridiculed at once by those who are
too brisk to be slow, and too lively to take pains. And the very
ingeniousness of antiquaries themselves, will at times be a snare to
them also, by inducing them to cut short the labour of investigation,
to ridicule the dull laboriousness of conjecturing industry, and to
leap over the difficulty which it will not take the trouble to remove.
On the whole, therefore, I think Mr. Tonkin’s etymology of Elerky to
be the only one which is easy and natural, and his reference to
“remains of a large pool under the house,” to be sufficiently
grounded. There has evidently been something of the kind there. A
little dam below would easily make one now. The remains were probably
more in Mr. Tonkin’s time than they now are. And these corroborating,
and corroborated by the positive import of Eala, (I.) Alarch (W.) and
Elerk, Elerchy (C.) a swan, and the undoubted signification of the
latter when thus combined Elerch Chy (C.) for a swan’s house, compel
us to adopt the etymon.

But this name has been entirely superseded in popular use by the name
of the saint. So much was the spiritual patron of a church considered
and talked of, that his name was used to the total neglect of the
other. But who was the saint of this church? Symphorian, says Mr.
Tonkin; and Mr. Tonkin is right. It seems odd indeed to suppose such a
corruption of a name as this; Symphorian changed into Veryan. But we
see in Leland, (Itin. ii, 112), that the parish of Trevenny at
Tintagel in this county, “is of S. Symphorian, ther caullid
Simiferian.” This is exactly in point. Symphorian was called in this
parish, as well as in Trevenny, Simiforian or Simiferian, in order to
accommodate it more to our liquified pronunciation. It would then be
sure to be abridged soon, for the more rapid pronunciation of it, by
leaving out the first half of the name, and taking only the last, just
as Elizabeth is popularly abbreviated into Bet. The name would thus be
Phorian, Ferian, Voryan, or Verian; as we have an estate in the parish
before, denominated Tre-Veryan, and as the ordinary appellation of the
parish is St. Veryan in a record above, and in common conversation
Veryan. And the time of observing the parish feast coincides with all,
and confirms it; Symphorian, of Autun in Burgundy, having suffered
martyrdom the 22d of August; and the feast in honour of his martyrdom
being observed accordingly. Eight years ago the feast was agreed, for
the sake of the harvest, to be postponed one month; as, upon the same
principle, the memory of the parishioners says, it had been previously
postponed one fortnight. It is now kept on the first Sunday in
October, was previously kept on the first in September, and originally
on the third Sunday in August.

Nor can the name of St. Symphrogia, or Simprosia, which is said to
occur as the title of the parish “in many fines, records, &c.” be any
thing else than a corruption of St. Symphorian. And as a full
evidence, I find the picture of St. Veryan and his wife were within
memory to be seen in the eastern window of the church.

The square tower of Veryan church appears from its position on the
side of the church, and at the south-western end of the chancel, to
have been an addition to the church. After the lord had deserted
Elerkey for Ruan, the lord’s chapel was lengthened out into a belfry,
with a tower over it. The architecture of this tower seems to a
passing eye different from that of the church itself. And within, I
doubt not, evident traces will appear on examination, of the
posteriority of the tower to the church.


THE EDITOR.

There is very little to add respecting Veryan. Mr. Lysons states that
the manor of Elerkey, which gave its secular name to the parish, now
lost in that of the patron saint, belonged with Ruan Lanihorne to the
family of Archdeknes, from them it passed to the Lucys and Vaux, &c.
and that it was finally purchased by the late Mr. Francis Gregor in
1790.

The Dean and Chapter of Exeter have the great tithes, and they are
patrons of the vicarage; and, what is perhaps without example in
reference to so fluctuating a body, three successive vicars have stood
in near relationship to each other. The Reverend Mr. Mills was
succeeded by his son-in-law the Rev. Jeremiah Trist, and Mr. Trist by
his son, the Rev. S. P. J. Trist, who was instituted in 1829. The net
income of the benefice in 1831 was £339.

In the charter of William Earl of Morton, founding his priory of
Montacute, among the endowments is the following: “Et in Cornubia
Ecclesiam de Lerky,” which cannot be any other than Veryan, by its
original name.

       *     *     *     *     *

THE GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

This extensive and interesting parish is entirely situated within the
boundaries of the calcareous series. The prevailing rock is a blue
argillaceous slate, the surface of which, when perfect, is either
glossy and irridescent, or finely striated: it alternates with several
kinds of massive or coarsely lamellar rocks, into which it gradually
passes. These rocks present the following varieties: a fine grained
rock abounding in scales of mica; a variety of greenstone or cornean
quartz rocks; and dark-coloured limestone.

This suite of rocks offers many objects worthy of a minute inquiry,
far beyond the limits of these short notices.


THE EDITOR.

A very excellent account is given of the Veryan limestone by S. J.
Trist, esq. in the first volume of the Transactions of the Geological
Society of Cornwall.

Mr. Trist says,

     The limestone occurs on the coast at Pendower Beach, and may
     thence be traced for a mile and a half inland.

     It comes to the surface, in three different places, nearly
     equidistant from each other, but at different elevations,
     the most inland being probably a hundred and twenty, or
     thirty feet above the level of the sea. In each instance it
     creeps out at the brow of a hill, and no where appears in
     the vale below, where it would seem originally to have
     stretched across the valleys, but to have been subsequently
     carried away, together with the accompanying matter, by
     diluvian action.

     In breadth it extends over a superficies of 350 yards, but
     alternates with an argillaceous schist, the lime itself
     never exceeding three feet in thickness, and that only in
     the upper beds of the strata. The lime scarcely amounts
     altogether to one eighth of the whole mass.

     According to an analysis made by the Rev. William Gregor, a
     good specimen of this stone consists of about nine parts in
     ten of carbonate of lime.

Mr. Trist then gives a comparative statement of the results from
calcining this limestone, and the well-known limestone of Plymouth,
that 200 Winchester bushels of lime from the kiln, provincially called
shells or foreright lime, are produced from 11 tons of the Veryan
limestone, by the consumption of 46 Winchester bushels of culm, more
universally known as Welsh stone coal; but that 14½ tons are required
of the Plymouth limestone to give the same quantity of lime from the
kiln, with the consumption of 56 bushels of culm, which would make the
Plymouth limestone inferior to that of Veryan, in about 32 per cent.
as to quality, and about 22 per cent. more in regard to fuel. As a
cement, its quality is remarkably good. Small spherical masses of
oxide of iron occur in great abundance; they are, in the opinion of
Mr. Gregor, pyrites in a state of decomposition, the sulphur having
escaped.

The colour of the rock is blue, and it is frequently traversed by
veins of calcareous spar.

In the schist which immediately reposes on the limestone, mica appears
in considerable abundance, and the whole is strongly impregnated with
lime. It is of a soft crumbling nature, decomposing on exposure to the
atmosphere, and in that state it is much esteemed as a manure.

The floor on which the lime rests (probably the whole alternating
formation) is an argillaceous schist, with veins of manganese, which
have been partially wrought.

       *     *     *     *     *

Mr. Greenough has laid down on his map a broad line extending about E.
N. E. from Gerrans and Veryan, crossing St. Blasey Bay and ending near
Looe, with the inscription, “calcareous matter along this line”.

In the Domesday Book this district was taxed under the name and
jurisdiction of Treveliad, now Trevelian.

This church was not endowed at the time of the first inquisition of
the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester, 1294, and therefore not named
therein. It now goes in consolidation and presentation with Trenegles,
and is also taxed together with it. The patronage in the Duke of
Cornwall; the incumbent Wood; the rectory in possession of ――――.


TONKIN AND WHITAKER.

Warbstow, in the hundred of Lesnewith, hath to the west Otterham, to
the north Jacobstow, to the east part of Devonshire and Tremain, to
the south Davidstow and Trenegles.

The true name of this parish is St. Warbury-stow, St. Warbury’s Place,
from St. Warbury alias Warburg. She was the daughter of Wolpher King
of Mercia, son to the famous Penda. The church celebrates her memory
the 21st of June, a holy virgin, to whom Leofrick dedicated a church
in Chester, which Hugh Lupus, the first earl of Chester of the Norman
blood, repaired and granted to the monks, and it is now the cathedral
there. [N. B. a Saxon Saint in Cornwall, introduced by the Saxons on
their early settlement on this eastern and detached part of Cornwall.]
This [church] is now attached to Treneglos, and passes in the same
presentation; the present incumbent being Mr. Charles Porter.

In this parish is a noble fortification, which perhaps might give
occasion of dedicating it to such a Saint as carried it with it such a
warlike sound [or, as the fact assuredly is, the fortification was
called Warborough, and the parish from it, Warborough-stow or
Warbstow. W.] I measured, and took a more particular view of it than I
had formerly done, this present year 1731.


THE EDITOR.

This part of Cornwall abounds in military antiquities, but it has been
far less carefully examined than other districts of the county;
judging from the present aspect of the country, one is induced to
wonder that camps or fortresses should ever have been established
there, or that stationary armies could by possibility have received
support.

The Editor recollects having seen the entrenchment many years ago;
that it struck him as much resembling the Roman works in Dorsetshire;
and as being of dimensions far more extensive than those of the usual
earthworks in Cornwall.

St. Walburge, the patroness of this parish, was the daughter of St.
Richard, a King of the West Saxons, who is said to have died at Lucca
in the year 722, on his way as a pilgrim to Rome.

His daughter having become a nun in the monastery at Wimbourn Minster,
was permitted by the Abbess Testa to depart with several other females
who had taken the vows, for the purpose of assisting her relation St.
Boniface in his conversion of the Germans, and in establishing the
angelic life among the women of this country.

Crediton in Devonshire had the honor of St. Boniface’s birth about the
year 680, and Exeter has to boast of his education under the pious
Abbat Wolphard. At about twenty-six years of age he undertook the
conversion of Germany, but was driven back by the war of Charles
Martel. He was, soon after his return, elected Abbat of Nutcell, a
place subsequently destroyed by the Danes, and never restored; he left
this high situation, however, and, fortified by the Pope’s blessing
and encouragement, he went a second time into Germany, where he
succeeded to so great a degree as to found the Archbishopric of Mentz;
to receive a plenitude of power with the gift of a pall from Rome, so
as to establish Bishoprics at his discretion; and with an alteration
of his name, which from an unfortunate association in the English
language, seems to us very contrary to what was intended. The original
name of the primate, the apostle of Germany, was Winfrid, but that
sounding neither sufficiently soft nor harmonious in Teutonic ears,
Boniface was substituted in its place.

The saint is distinguished by an invention perfectly singular within
the period of authentic history; he enriched the alphabet with an
additional letter, the (w) double u.

Having ascended to the pinnacle of terrestrial glory, he at last
obtained the crown of martyrdom through the medium of an ignorant mob
excited by the priests, whose craft he had destroyed.

Little is recorded of St. Walburga except the general piety of her
life and the miracles performed by various minute subdivisions of her
relics, which sufficiently attested her beatitude. There is a church
dedicated to St. Walburga at Bristol.

The great tithes of this parish are in the Eliot family. The vicarage
is in the gift of the Crown, being annexed to Treneglos.

Mr. Lysons says, that the chief manor in this parish, called Fentrigan
or Ventrigan, belonged to the Priory of Tywardreth, and that it was
one of those given to the Duchy of Cornwall in exchange for the honour
of Wallingford. Another manor called Donneny or Downniney belonged to
Oto Colyn, who died possessed of it in 1466, and has since passed
through the families of Champernownes and Arscotts to that of
Molesworth.

WARLEGGON.


HALS.

Warleggan or Warleggon rectory is situate in the hundred of West, and
hath upon the north Temple, east St. Neot, south St. Pineck, west
Cardinham.

In the Domesday Book 1087, this place was distinguished and taxed by
the name of Cabell-an, id est, the chapel, (ab-Capella-an, Cornish
Latin) or Neot’s-ton, and at-Cabillian, now Cabilla, i. e. the chapel
in this parish tempore Henry III. and Edward I. Petrus filius Ogeri
tenet quadraginta acras terræ per serjantiam in Cabillian, in com.
Cornub. per unam capam de gresenge, in adventum dicti Regis in
Cornubiam, i. e. a grey cape coat with a cape or capouch.

At the time of the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and
Winchester into the value of Cornish Benefices 1294, Ecclesia de
Warliggan was rated xx_s._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, Warliggan was
valued 5_l._ 17_s._ 6_d._ The patronage is in Gregor, in right of his
manor of Warliggon; the incumbent Trigg; and the parish is rated to
the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax of one year, by the name of War-liggan,
55_l._ 4_s._

Tren-Gove, alias Tren-Goffe, in this parish, synonymous words
signifying a stout, strong, robust, or courageous smith, so called for
that some such mechanic person heretofore lived in this place, or was
lord thereof, gave name and original to an old family of gentlemen,
from thence surnamed de Trengoffe, according to Verstegan’s rhyme, by
me set down under Angove in Illogan parish:

  “From whence came Smith, let him be Lord or ’Squire,
   But from the smith that forgeth in the fire?”

One of whose posterity sold those lands to Tubb, in whose issue it
remained for several descents; till by them sold to Parker, whose son
or grandson sold the same to John Trengoff, alias Nance, Esq. now in
possession thereof, some time Commissioner for the Peace and Taxes; a
younger branch of those Trengoves or Trengoffs that sold this barton
to Tubb aforesaid, and were so transnominated from living at Nance in
Illogan, whereof they had a lease. This gentleman married Chester, his
father Heale; and giveth for his arms, Argent, a cross hammed (i. e.
couped) Sable.


TONKIN AND WHITAKER.

Worleggon, in the hundred of West, hath to the west Cardenham, to the
north Temple, to the east St. Neot’s, to the south Bradock.

As for the name, I take it to be an abbreviation of Warth-la-gan, the
higher place on the downs, or the higher downy place, which will agree
very well with the situation of this church and parish, which lies
high, and mostly coarse ground, though some of it be now much
improved. [War Le Gan, upon the down, forms a nearer etymon. W.]

This is a rectory, valued in the King’s Book £5. 18_s._ 6_d._ the
patronage in Francis Gregor, Esq.; the incumbent Mr. Daniel Bandry;
[who was succeeded by Mr. Samuel Gurney, of Tregoney. W.]

In an. 1291, 20 Edw. I. this church was valued (Tax. Benef.) at xx_s._
having never been appropriated.


THE MANOR OF WARLEGGON,

[Which gave name to the parish, and took it from its own house, being
built upon a down. W.]


THE EDITOR.

Mr. Lysons states, that the manor of Warleggon, carrying with it the
advowson of the rectory, has been long in the Gregor family. Another
manor of the same name, belonging to the Corytons, was purchased by
John Trengove, otherwise ―――― Nance, Esq. in the year 1680, from whom
it has descended to James Wyard Gooch, Esq. of Orford in Suffolk.

The manor of Carborro or Carburrow has been for a considerable time in
the family of Arscott Bickford, Esq. of Deansland in Devonshire.

The church and tower of this parish suffered most severely from
lightning so recently as in the year 1818, when on Saturday the 14th
of March, according to the accounts then published, the tower was
almost shivered to pieces, and a part falling on the church, nearly
destroyed the whole interior, as well as the roof.

The improvidence and carelessness of mankind, in respect to contingent
dangers, more especially when they are unconnected with individual
interest, is not in any instance more manifestly displayed than in
what regards precautions against the tremendous effects of lightning.
Tower after tower has been struck in the county of Cornwall, and
scarcely one is provided with a simple metallic rod, which would
obviate all danger; and, more astonishingly still, vessels of war,
with hundreds of persons on board, and merchant vessels, laden with
the richest cargoes, are allowed to proceed on voyages, exposed to the
danger of utter destruction from this cause, on account of a
reluctance to incur an expense almost imperceptible in the general
outfit, if no value were placed on human life. On this subject the
reader may be desired to consult the writings of William Snow Harris,
Esq. F.R.S. of Plymouth, one among the distinguished natural
philosophers of modern times.

  Warleggon measures 1807 statute acres.
  Annual value of the Real Property as    £.  _s._ _d._

WEEK ST. MARY.


HALS.

Week St. Mary is situate in the hundred of Stratton, and hath upon the
north Marhamchurch, west Jacobstowe, south North Pendyrwyn, east
Tamerton.

In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester 1292,
Ecclesia de Wi-Wyke, in decanatu de Trigmajorshire, was valued cvi_s._
viii_d._

In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, by the name of Wike St. Mary, £17. The
patronage was formerly in ―――― that endowed it, now alternately in
Rashleigh and ――――; the incumbent ――――; and the parish rated to the
4_s._ per pound Land Tax, 1696, for one year, by the name of Wike St.
Mary, £170. 11_s._ 6_d._ It is called Wike St. Mary (to distinguish it
from St. Mary Magdalen’s church at Lanceston), this being dedicated to
the Blessed Virgin Mary, as its tutelar guardian.

This Wike St. Mary was the birth-place of that famous minion of
fortune and example of charitable benevolence Thomasine Bonaventure.
Whether so called from her success in worldly affairs, or from her
ancestors, is altogether unknown to me; most certain it is she was
born of poor parents about the year 1450, tempore Henry VI. but not so
poor but that her father had a small flock of sheep that depastured on
the wastrell of Wike St. Mary downs or moor, whereof she was the
shepherdess, (see Carew, p. 282, Lord Dunstanville’s edition,) who on
a certain day in that place doing this office, it happened that there
passed by a London mercer or draper that traded in this country, who
was going to visit his customers in those parts, and gather up such
monies as there were due from them to him for such wares as he sold.
This gentleman, at first sight, observing the beauty of Thomasine,
desired to talk with her, and, after some discourse, found her
discreet answers suitable to the beauty of her face, much beyond her
rank and degree. Then inquiring into her circumstances, as to her
riches, and understanding that she was poor, and she likewise
inquiring into his wealth, and where he lived, which was as aforesaid;
whereupon he told her, if she would go to London and reside with him
as a servant, he doubted not but it would be very conducive to her
wealth and preferment.

Thomasine replied, that she was under the guardianship of her father
and mother, and that she could not accept his proposal without their
consent; but if they were made acquainted therewith, and approved
thereof, and he appeared to them to be such a person as he pretended,
she knew nothing to the contrary but that she might embrace his offer.

Whereupon this Londoner forthwith applied himself to her parents, and
gave verbal assurances, that if they would permit their daughter
Thomasine to go to London, and become a servant to him, she should not
only have good wages and be well used, but in case he happened to die
while she was with him, he would so effectually provide for her that
she should not have occasion to try the friendship of any other person
afterwards; and to strengthen those his proposals, he produced some of
his acquaintance and debtors in those parts, who satisfied her parents
as to his reputation and integrity for performance of what he
promised.

Upon which report Thomasine’s parents consented to his request, so
that soon after she was conveyed or carried up to London, and entered
as a servant in this gentleman’s house, when she demeaned herself very
well, to the good liking of himself and family; when it so happened
that in a few years after, this tradesman’s wife sickened of a mortal
distemper and died, and some time after Thomasine and her master were
solemnly married together as husband and wife, who then, according to
his promise, endowed her with a considerable jointure in case of her
survivorship; and about two years after, having no issue, he died; and
by his last will and testament further made her his sole executrix,
leaving her a rich widow whom he took a poor servant.

This dower, together with her youth and beauty, procured her to the
cognizance of divers well deserving men, who thereupon made addresses
of marriage to her, but none of them obtained her affection but only
Henry Gall, an eminent and wealthy Citizen of London, to whom, after
he had made another augmentation of jointure in case of her
survivorship, she was accordingly married, and lived in great amity
and reputation with him as a wife for some years, till in fine this
Mr. Gall sickened of a mortal distemper whereof he died, and left
Thomasine a richer widow than he found her, aged about thirty years.

After which the fame, virtue, wealth, and beauty of the said Thomasine
spread itself over the City of London, so that persons of the greatest
magnitude for wealth and dignity there courted her; and amongst the
rest it was the fortune of John Percivall, Esq. to prevail with her to
become his wife; after which it happened that he was chosen Carver at
the table of the feast of Sir John Collet, Knt. Lord Mayor of London,
the 2d of Henry VII. anno Dom. 1487, at which time, according to the
custom of that City, Sir John drank to him in a silver cup of wine, in
order to make him Sheriff thereof for the year ensuing (in conjunction
with Hugh Clopton, Esq.); whereupon he covered his head, and sat down
at the table with the Lord Mayor of London, and was accordingly one of
the Sheriffs thereof. Afterwards, in 14 Hen. VII. 1499, the said John
Percivall, was elected Lord Mayor of London, and knighted by that
King, at which time Thomas Bradberry and Stephen Jenings were Sheriffs
thereof.

By this gentleman our Thomasine had a third augmentation of jointure
and wealth, together with the title of Dame or Lady, which she lived
many years to enjoy after the death of Sir John Percivall, Knight.
After which, Dame Thomasine, having no child by either of her three
husbands, spent the remainder of her days, till about the year 1530,
when she died, in works of piety and charity; as repairing highways,
building bridges, endowing or providing funds for poor maids,
relieving prisoners, feeding and apparelling poor people, with her
treasure and riches; and especially in this parish of Wike St. Mary,
where she was born, she founded a chantry and free school to pray for
her soul, the souls of her father and mother, her husbands and
relatives. To this chantry and school she added a small library, with
a fair house for lodgings for the schoolmaster, and chanters or
singing men, and others, parts of which are yet extant; and endowed
the same with £20 lands for ever. In which place, during the latter
part of the reign of Henry VIII. many gentlemen’s sons, both in
Cornwall and Devon, had their education in the liberal arts and
sciences, under one Cholwell, a good linguist, as Mr. Carew saith.

But, alas! afterwards, in the Parliament of the fourth of November,
first of King Edward VI. 1550, all colleges, free chapels, chantries,
fraternities, and guilds, throughout this kingdom, being dissolved and
given to that King, this chantry and free school underwent with others
the common downfall, and its revenues vested in the Crown, from whence
it passed to ――――, now in possession thereof.

There are two fairs kept yearly in this parish on the 8th of September
and the 10th of December.


THE EDITOR.

The church is situated on an eminence, and is therefore conspicuous at
a considerable distance in all directions; it is large, and built in
the usual manner of western churches with three aisles of equal
height; but the tower is so lofty as to exceed in height (according to
report) any other in the county, even those at Probus and St. Mabyn.

The church town is large; and the inhabitants preserve a shadow of
former traditionary importance by electing an annual mayor, who used
at least to receive some voluntary obediences from his townspeople in
the settling of small differences between them.

The etymology of the prefix Week seems to be less obscure than most
other additions to proper names. Week is in Cornish literally, sweet,
an epithet frequently applied to female Saints.

  An alms, Sir Priset! the drooping pilgrim cries,
    For sweet St. Mary and your Order’s sake.

               _To St. Agnes._

  Then cast, sweet Saint! a circle round,
  And bless from fools this holy ground.

These lines are from modern compositions, but made in imitation of
others much older.

St. Mary Week is, therefore, sweet or beloved St. Mary; indeed Treweek
is known to mean sweet, beloved town or village. The Saxon wick is
never, I believe, lengthened into week.

Mr. Lysons says,

The church town is in all ancient records called the borough of Week
St. Mary, and the occupiers of certain fields are still called
burgageholders.

The ancient manor of Week St. Mary appears to have been merged in that
of Swannacot, which belonged to the late Lord Dunstanville by
inheritance from his great grandmother, heiress of the Heles.

The manor of East Orchard Mauvais was purchased from Mr. Dennis Rolle
by the late Sir John Call.

There is a place near the church town called Castle Hill, believed to
be the site of an ancient fortress.

The advowson of the rectory belongs to Sidney-Sussex College in
Cambridge, having been given to that Society in exchange for another
immediately connected with his residence by Lord Carteret, who
inherited the disposal of this preferment from the family of Grenville.

  Week St. Mary measures 5,167 statute acres.

ST. WENN.


HALS.

St. Wenn is situate in the hundred of Pider, and hath upon the north
St. Breock, east Withiell, south Roach, west St. Colomb Major; but
whether named from its tutelar guardian and patron, Sanctus Wina, or
Wena, the Bishop of Winchester, anno Dom. 660, translated to London
anno Dom. 666, who died 670; or from Anwena or Unwena, Bishop of
Dorchester, anno Dom. 786, I know not.

This place is that San Vene, or Wena, taxed in the Domesday Book, and
the only church or district in all that book in Cornwall to which was
added the pronoun Saint, of which I have spoken elsewhere. In the
Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester into the value of
Cornish Benefices, Ecclesia de Sanct. Wenne in decanatu de Pidre 1294,
was rated at vi_l._ xiii_s._ iiii_d._ Vicar’ ejusdem xiii_s._ iiii_d._
In Wolsey’s Inquisition, 1521, £16. 6_s._ 8_d._ The patronage was
formerly in the Prior of Bodman, who endowed it; afterwards, when that
Priory was dissolved, in the Crown; from whence it passed to Prideaux
of Netherton, by him sold to Rashleigh, now in possession thereof. The
incumbent Bedford; the rectory in Rashleigh; and the parish rated to
the 4_s._ per pound Land Tax, 1696, for one year, £126. 4_s._

About the year 1663, the tower and bells of this parish church were
struck down with thunder and lightning, and broken to pieces in a
stormy night, and a great part of the roof of the church broken in.


     (Here is another deficiency in the manuscript.)


And in particular those lands to the Lord Botreaux, by whose heir it
passed in marriage to Hungerford, from Hungerford to Hastings, from
Hastings to Edgecomb, from Edgcomb to Parkinge, from Parkinge to
Vivian of Truan, from Vivian to Hals (the writer hereof), now in
possession thereof.

Of this family was Michael de Tregury, a man of great learning, made
first governor or professor of the University founded at Caen in
Normandy by King Henry V. He was afterwards by him made Archbishop of
Dublin, where, after twenty-two years’ residence, he died, 1471, and
lies buried in St. Patrick’s Church there, with this bold epitaph:

  Præsul Metropolis Michael hic Dublinensis
  Marmore tumbatus, pro me Christum flagitetis.

i. e. Michael, the Metropolitan Bishop of Dublin, lyes under this
marble tomb, for whome Christ shall earnestly intreate or desire.[15]

       *     *     *     *     *

Lan-cor-la, in this parish, was formerly parcel of the manor of
Ryalton, the Prior of Bodman’s lands, who endowed this church upon
part of the said manor’s lands, with a considerable glebe, at least
eighty statute acres of ground.

This little barton of Lancorla was anciently the voke lands of a
considerable manor, now all dismembered, held, by the Records of the
Exchequer and Carew’s Survey of Cornwall, page 46, by the tenure of
knight’s service.

It is now by lease in the possession and dwelling of the writer
hereof, from Sir Jonathan Trelawny, Bart. Sir John Seyntaubyn, Bart.
and Sir George Cary, of Clovelly, knight, as heirs to Jenkin of
Trekeninge, to whom it came by purchase from Botreauxes and Parkinge’s
heirs and assigns.

This manor of old contained fifteen Cornish acres of land, before
dismembered tempore Edward I. that is to say, 638 statute acres, and
was privileged with the jurisdiction of a Court Baron or Leet, and had
a steward or bailiff pertaining thereto as dependant on Ryalton
aforesaid.

Checkenock, now Killignock (S. T.) in this parish, was another
district taxed in the Domesday Book 1087, from whence was denominated
an old family of gentlemen surnamed de Killignock, where they
flourished in good fame for many generations, till the time of Henry
VIII. when the only daughter and heir of Thomas Killignock was married
to Richard Nanskevall, alias Typpet, of St. Colomb, which marriage
brought these lands into his possession, where for three or four
descents his posterity flourished in genteel degree, till the latter
end of the reign of King Charles II. when Matthew Typpet, Gent. that
married Ringwood, of Braddock, having encumbered his estate with much
debts, sold this place and the manor of Borlace Varth to Mr. Joseph
Hawkey, his attorney-at-law, to pay costs in defence of actions
brought against him by his creditors; and his other lands to Bligh,
Vivian, and Hals, the writer of these lines, and left his son and heir
a beggar. The arms of Typpet, ―――― three tippets, as I remember.

Tre-with-an, in this parish, i. e. the Tree Town, or Town of Trees,
tempore Henry IV. was the land of Stephen de Trewithan, who held in
this place and elsewhere, by the tenure of knight service, 25 Edward
III. £20 per annum in lands of Barkley’s manor of Tremore (Survey of
Cornwall, p. 52), from whose posterity, tempore Queen Mary, it passed
by sale to Renphry, whose son sold it, tempore James I. to Parkings,
whose great-grandson Francis Parkings is now in possession thereof.
The arms of Parkings are, in a field ―――― three pigeons ――――.

In this parish stands Damelsa Castle, a treble entrenchment of earth
on a high mounted bank or hill, on the south side of, and contiguous
with, Damelsa House and lands. Probably it was erected before the
Norman Conquest, to resist the incursions of the Danes, since those
three rampiers consist of rude stones and earth after the British
manner, as a hedge, not a wall. (See Castle an Dinas, in St. Colomb).
For after the Conquest aforesaid, castles in England were generally
built of lime and stones after the manner of the French. Probably it
was demolished tempore King Stephen or King Henry II. when, many
hundreds of those castles by their decree were pulled down in this
island, as our chronologers all tell us.

In this parish, at Treganatha, i. e. the Spinster’s Town or dwelling,
is held annually a fair or mart on St. Mark’s day, April 25, and
another on August 1.


TONKIN.

St. Wenn is in the hundred of Pider, and hath to the west St. Colomb
Major and St. Ennodor, to the north St. Breock, to the east Withiell,
to the south St. Roche. This parish takes its name from St. Wenna, its
female patroness.

This is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Book £16. 6_s._ 8_d._ The
patronage in Philip Rashleigh, Esq. the incumbent Mr. John Bedford.

In an. 1291, 20 Edward I. the rectory here was valued (Tax. Ben.) at
vi_l._ xiii_s._ iiij_d._ being appropriated to the Abbey of Tewkesbury
in Gloucestershire; and the vicarage at xiii_s._ iiij_d._

The manor of Borlase, id est, the green summit or rising [as Bar Glas
or Las (C.)] This lordship was given by King William II. surnamed
Rufus, to ―――― Lord of the Castle of Palfer in Normandy, ever since
which his posterity have flourished here and at Treluddero, &c. in
great esteem, by the name of Borlace (V. Upton de re militari). [N. B.
This is a singular, perhaps a single, instance of a Norman or Saxon
family assuming a Cornish name. Indeed I suspect it not to be true;
and what is more certain, that species of apples which in Cornwall we
call a Borlase, and more commonly a Treluddera, pippin, appears
plainly to have taken its name from this family and that place, and
serves as a good opening for explaining all those other names of
apples which are merely Cornish in themselves like this. WHITAKER.]


THE EDITOR.

It seems that Great Skewish, in this parish, belonged to a family of
that name, one of whom was an author at a period so early as the reign
of Henry the Sixth, when he compiled an abridgment of the Chronicles
and the Wars of Troy; but in all probability the work has never been
printed, since it is not noticed by Warton; nor is the author’s name
to be found in the catalogues of our public libraries.

But the glory of this parish is Michael Tregury, Archbishop of Dublin.

Six or seven years ago, my attention having been drawn to this
individual, who may justly be considered an honour to Cornwall, I
applied to the Very Reverend J. R. Dawson, Dean of St. Patrick’s,
through his brother the Right Honourable George Robert Dawson, when
the Dean most kindly and liberally supplied me with a drawing of
Archbishop Tregury’s tomb, as it is restored by the celebrated Doctor
Swift, and furnished me with all the particulars known of my
distinguished countryman.

I procured a wood engraving to be made of the drawing, and sent it,
with whatever I could collect of Tregury, to the Gentleman’s Magazine,
a reprint of which will here be inserted:

[Illustration: SEPULCHRAL EFFIGY OF ARCHBISHOP TREGURY, IN THE
CATHEDRAL OF DUBLIN.]

     Mr. URBAN,                 _Tredrea, Cornwall, March 2, 1831._

     You will much gratify me, and, I may venture to add, many other
     correspondents, by inserting in your most excellent repository,
     which has now survived one century with a spirit and vigour that
     give promise for its continuing through another, some particulars
     of an individual sprung from this county, who must have been a
     man of talent and of learning sufficient for adding lustre to any
     origin; but who is now almost entirely forgotten, his family
     having long since become extinct, and the records of the
     University, of the Church, of the Diocese, and of the Province
     over which he presided, having in great measure perished in the
     devastations of the civil war, and especially of those aggravated
     by religious dissensions.

     Mr. Lysons, in his History of Cornwall, states, that in the
     parish of St. Wenn is situated Tregury, Tregurra, or Tregurtha,
     the seat of a family so called, of whom was Michael de Tregury,
     Archbishop of Dublin, who died in 1471. The last heir male of the
     elder branch of this family died in the reign of Henry the Fifth,
     leaving three daughters coheirs, who sold this barton to the
     family of Botreaux, from whom it passed successively, by
     inheritance or sale, through the families of Hungerford,
     Hastings, Edgcumbe, Parkins, and Vivian, to Mr. William Hals, who
     wrote the Parochial History of Cornwall, and resided here in the
     latter part of his life. The estate, now called Tregotha, is the
     property of Thomas Rawlings, Esq.

     This brief notice of the Archbishop scarcely made any impression
     on my mind beyond a mere recollection of the circumstance, when a
     Cornish gentleman informed me that he had observed a monument to
     this Prelate in the Cathedral at Dublin. I then took the liberty
     of applying, through Mr. Dawson, Member for the County of
     Londonderry, to his brother the Dean of St. Patrick’s, who not
     only gave me every information and reference that is known to
     exist, but also a drawing of the monument, of which I have sent a
     wood engraving.――Since this was engraved, I have seen a tracing
     tracing from an old drawing in the possession of Sir William
     Betham, Ulster King at Arms, which shows that the sides of the
     original altar-tomb were adorned with trefoil-headed arches
     rising from short pillars.

     It appears that few records are extant of the Prelates and
     Dignitaries of Dublin prior to the Reformation, in places where
     they might most reasonably have been expected to be found; and
     the monument itself would have perished but for the care and
     attention of the celebrated Doctor Jonathan Swift, who, with the
     Chapter, exactly a hundred years ago, rescued it from a
     dilapidated chapel, and carried the monument to its present
     situation in the Cathedral.

     Michael Tregury attained his reputation for learning at the
     University of Oxford. He was Junior Proctor in the year 1434,
     under which Anthony Wood gives the following notice of him in his
     “Fasti.” He “was now Fellow of Exeter College, and about these
     times Principal of several Halls successively that stood near to
     the said College. But the King, having a special respect for him
     (being now accounted the utmost ornament of the University), made
     him Prefect or Governor of [the College at] Caen in Normandy,
     lately erected by King Henry the Fifth of England; which office
     he performing with singular applause, became at length, through
     divers preferments (of which the Deanery of St. Michael of
     Pencryche[16] was one) Archbishop of Dublin in Ireland.”

     The foundation of the College or University of Caen, is again
     mentioned by Wood in his Annals, under 1417. In consequence, he
     says, of discontents regarding preferment and tithes, “the
     corruptness of provisions, and especially the wars between
     England and France, many dispersed themselves to other places.
     And because Normandy, Angiers, Poyctou, Aquitaine, Bretagne,
     Gascoigne, and other places that were subject to the Crown of
     England, could not for that reason exercise their Scholastical
     Arts at Paris publicly and without murmurings, they receded to
     Caen in Normandy,[17] and studied there, which place Henry the
     Fifth, of England, made an University, causing one Michael
     Tregorie, an Oxford Doctor, sometime Fellow of Exeter College, to
     be governor and reader there, to the end that the doctrine of the
     University of Oxford might dilate itself and take root in those
     parts.”

     The following memoir is extracted from Ware’s History of Ireland,
     vol. I. p. 359:

     “Before the close of the same year (1449), Michael Tregury, a
     native of Cornwall, and Doctor of Divinity of the University of
     Oxford, was consecrated Archbishop of this See. He was a man of
     such great eminence for learning and wisdom, that in the year
     1418, King Henry the Fifth invited him over to Caen in Normandy,
     to take upon him the government of a College, which that Monarch
     had then founded in the said city; to whom he joined, out of the
     Mendicant Friars, learned professors in all sciences.[18] There
     he is said to have discharged the trust committed to him with
     great applause, both by his public prelections and writings. A
     catalogue of his works may be seen in Bale and Pits. At last,
     upon the death of Talbot in 1449, he was promoted to this See by
     a papal provision, and was the same year, on the 10th of February
     (English style), restored to the temporalities by King Henry the
     Sixth, whose Chaplain he was: [But was obliged to submit himself
     to the King’s favour, and renounce every clause in his Bull
     prejudicial to the Crown.[19]] He was called into the Privy
     Council immediately, and had twenty pounds per annum[20] granted
     him by the King, _pro sano consilio_, for giving good counsel, as
     his predecessors, Archbishops of Dublin, who were of the Council,
     had; and in 1453 King Henry the Sixth, for securing an arrear of
     two years and a half, and the growing salary, granted him a
     custodium on the manor of Tassagard, and the town of Ballachise,
     parcel thereof, to continue during the time he should be
     Archbishop of Dublin.[21]

     “In certain Annals ascribed to Dudley Firbisse, there is a
     mention made under the year 1453, that an Archbishop of Dublin
     was taken prisoner at sea. I must leave the passage to the credit
     of the Annalist, not having met any hint of it elsewhere. There
     is extant in the Black Book of the Archbishop of Dublin (p. 82),
     a copy of a Bull of Pope Pius the Second, dated the 23d of
     November 1462, and directed to the Bishop and Archdeaconry of
     Ossory, commanding them to pronounce excommunicated, Geofrey
     Harold, Thomas and Edmund his sons, Patrick Birne, Thady Sheriff,
     Thomas Becagh, Robert Burnell, and other laymen of the city and
     diocese of Dublin, for laying violent hands on this Prelate, and
     committing him to prison; and that they should keep them under
     excommunication until they went to Rome for absolution, with the
     testimonials of the Bishop and Archdeacon. The reason of this
     insult is no where mentioned, that I can find. He repaired the
     manor house of Tawlaght, and died there in a very advanced age,
     on the 21st of December 1471; having governed this See about
     twenty-two years. His remains were conveyed to Dublin, attended
     by the clergy and citizens, and buried in St. Patrick’s Church,
     near St. Stephen’s altar [as he had directed by his will], where
     heretofore might have been seen a specious monument, adorned with
     his statue, of elegant workmanship, on which are inscribed the
     following verses, penned without the aid of the Muses:

          ‘Præsul Metropolis Michael hic Dubliniensis
           Marmore tumbatus, pro me Christum flagitetis.’

     And at the head of the statue,

          ‘Jesus est Salvator meus.’

     “This monument was found under the rubbish in St Stephen’s
     Chapel; the cover of it was preserved by the care of the Rev. Dr.
     Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick’s, and the Chapter, who in
     the year 1730 fixed it up in the wall, on the left hand, as you
     enter the west gate, between the said gate and the place where
     heretofore the Consistory Court was held; and they have placed
     this inscription over it: ‘Vetus hoc Monumentum, è ruderibus
     Capellæ Divi Stephani nuper instauratæ erutum, Decanus et
     Capitulum hùc transferri curaverunt, A.D. 1730.’

     “The will of this Prelate, dated the 10th of December 1471, is
     extant among the manuscripts in the Library of Trinity College,
     Dublin (B. 52), whereby he deviseth his two silver gilded
     saltsellers (salsaria) with their covers, to make cups for St.
     Patrick’s, to serve in divine offices. He also bequeathed his
     pair of organs to the said Church, to be used at the celebration
     of divine service in St. Mary’s Chapel. ‘I devise also (says he)
     that William Wyse, whose industry for this purpose I choose,
     shall in my stead visit with a decent oblation St. Michael’s
     Mount in Cornwall, which by vow I am bound to perform either by
     myself or proxy;’ and also orders him to give some largesses
     towards building the neighbouring churches near where his friends
     dwell.

     “The registry[22] of the Dominican Abbey in Dublin gives an
     account, that above fifty persons went out of the Diocese to Rome
     in 1451, to celebrate the jubilee then held under Pope Nicholas
     the fifth, and that this prelate gave them recommendatory
     certificates to the Pope; that seven of the number were pressed
     to death in the crowd, besides what died in their return. This
     squares with the relation given by Mathias Palmerius, in his
     additions to the Chronicle of Eusebius, ‘That there was so great
     a concourse of people from all parts of the Christian world at
     this jubilee, that at Hadrian’s Mole almost two hundred perished
     in the press, besides many who were drowned in the Tiber.’ They
     who returned sate in 1453, brought the melancholy news, that
     Constantinople was taken by the Turks, and the Emperor
     Constantine Palæologus slain. Our Archbishop was so afflicted at
     the account, that he ordered a fast to be kept strictly
     throughout his diocese for three days together, and granted
     indulgences of an hundred years to the observers of it; and he
     himself went before the clergy in procession to Christ Church
     cloathed in sackcloth and ashes.”

     The works of Tregury are thus noticed by Pits, in his volume “De
     illustribus Angliæ Scriptoribus:”

     “Multa scripsisse perhibetur, quæ Gallis inter quos vixit vel
     Hibernis apud quos obiit, magis quàm Anglis e quibus natus est,
     nota esse poterunt. Hos tamen paucos titulos sequentes invenio:

The rocks of this parish resemble those of the northern half of St.
Columb Major.


     [15] Mr. Hals has very inaccurately translated the last
     words of the second line. The Archbishop requests the
     readers of the Epitaph earnestly to entreat Christ for
     himself.

     [16] The Deanery of Penkridge in Herefordshire was not,
     however, an early preferment of Tregury, it having been
     annexed to the see of Dublin as early as the reign of King
     John.

WHITSTONE.


HALS.

Whitstone is situate in the hundred of Stratton, and hath upon
the north part of Bridgerule and Marhamchurch, west Wike St. Mary
and Tamerton, south Werrington and St. Stephen’s.

In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester 1294,
Ecclesia de Witeston, in decanatu de Trigmajorshire, was valued
at £4. 6_s._ 8_d._ In Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, £14. 11_s._
0½_d._ The patronage in the Bishop of Exeter, who endowed it; the
incumbent Tregena or Hosken; and the parish rated to the four
shillings per pound Land Tax, 1696, for one year £124. 12_s._
6_d._ tempore William III.

The barton of Benett, in this parish, was formerly the seat of
George Heale, esq. Sheriff of Cornwall, 4 and 5 of Charles I.
that married ――――; as also of Edmund Hele, esq. his son,
Sheriff of Cornwall, 22 Charles I. whose son dying without issue,
those lands and much other descended to his daughter Lucy, the
wife of John Basset, of Tehidy, esq. now in possession thereof.
The name Hele, Heale, is Saxon English, and signifies the same as
hell in British, viz. a hall, either of a dwelling house or
refectory, or a place of judicature or prætorium, a tabernacle or
a tent.

The arms of Heale are Gules, a bend lozengy Ermine.


TONKIN.

Whitston is in the hundred of Stratton, and hath to the west St.
Mary Week, to the north Marhamchurch and Bridgerule, to the east
the river Tamar, between it and Devon, to the south Tamerton.

The name of the parish is derived from a white rock, on which
part of the church is founded. It is a large white  stone in
the south side of the church; the part which appears is of an
oval form. This account I had from Mr. Nicholas Hoskins, jun. and
vicar of Boyton, son to the rector of this.

In anno 1291, 20 Edw. I. this church was valued (Tax. Benef.) at
£4. 6_s._ 8_d._ having never been appropriated.

This church is a rectory, valued in the King’s Book, £14. 11_s._
ob.; the patronage in the heirs of Sir John Arundell; the
incumbent Mr. Nicholas Hoskins.


THE MANOR OF WHITESTONE.

This, in Domesday Book, is called Witestan, being one of the
manors given by William the Conqueror to Robert Earl of Morton,
when he created Earl of Cornwall the said Robert.

In the extent of Cornish acres, 12 Edw. I. (Car. f. 48), this, by
the name of Wilston and St. Petnell (St. Petronel, I suppose), is
valued in two.

The 3 Henry IV. (Idem, f. 40 b.) John de Cobbeham held one fee in
Wiston and Serpeknol, which I take to be the same with the
former, only wrong spelt.

[The name of the parish is not derived, I apprehend, from any
white stone on which the church is founded. From the very
description here given of it, it could never have given name to
the church itself. Only “part of the church is founded” on it.
Nor is this part “founded” on it. There is only “a large white
stone in the south side of the church;” and this is plainly built
up in the side, as it is said to be “of an oval form.” The
reference of the name to this stone, therefore, has been merely
the idle play of intellect, in those who in antiquarian matters
did not know how to exert their understandimg seriously. The real
name of the church is “St. Petnell, St. Petronel, I suppose.” The
church then could not give name to the parish. And the parish
actually received its name from the manor, as the manor received
it from its manerial house, this being built upon a white rock, that
very rock assuredly from which the white stone in the wall of the
church had been brought. W.]


THE EDITOR.

The church and tower of this parish, like several others in the
north-eastern part of Cornwall, are fine objects in themselves, and
are placed on commanding situations.

There are several monuments to former residents and proprietors in the
parish. Among these is one to the memory of George Hele, of Bennetts,
esq. who died in 1652, and of his son Warwick Hele, who died in 1650.
The family of Hele had resided for many generations at Bennetts, which
came into the Basset family in the latter part of that century, by the
marriage of John Basset, esq. of Tehidy, with Lucy Hele. Their
great-grandson, the late Lord Dunstanville, was in the habit of
visiting Bennetts for several weeks at a time. This place had been
leased for lives to a respectable family of the name of Webbe,
probably soon after it came to Mr. John Basset.

The advowson of the living belonged to the Arundells of Lanherne and
Wardour, who sold it about fifty years ago; and, after passing through
various hands, it came to the Rev. John Kingdon, who is also the
incumbent, instituted in 1793. The net value of the living in 1831 was
£231.

  Whitstone measures 3429 statute acres.

THE GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

Whitstone, like all the other parishes in this division of Cornwall,
is situated on the calcareous series, more particularly on the compact
schistose varieties of dunstone.




ST. WINNOW.


HALS.

St. Wennoe is situate in the hundred of West, and hath upon the north
Braddock and Cardenham, west the Foye river or sea, south St. Veepe,
east Lanreth.

In the glass windows of this church, the Patron Saint is called after
the Latin St. (Sanctus) Winotus, but further knowledge of him I have
not.

In the Domesday Book 1087, this district was taxed by the name of
Tre-vocar-Winoe. In the Inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and
Winchester, 1294, Ecclesia de Sancto Winotho was valued lx_s._ In
Wolsey’s Inquisition 1521, it was rated 5_l._ The Patronage in      ;
the incumbent Laurence; the rectory in possession of ――――; and the
parish rated at 4_s._ per pound Land Tax, 1696, for one year, £210.

In this parish is a chapel of ease dedicated to St. Nectan, _vulgo
vocat._ St. Knighton, or Nighton, whose revenues in the Inquisition of
the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester 1294, were thus rated, Capella
de Nectan, in decanatu de West, v_s._ This Nectan was born in Devon
about the year 940, a man of singular piety and holiness, as most of
those days afforded, who lived a monkish or eremitical life, at
Hartland, in Devon, where he died about the year 1010. After his death
his relics (see Rawlegh’s Relicta Nomen viri) were enshrined and set
up in the same little chapel where he served God there; in which place
Githa, wife of Godwin Earl of Kent (or rather Goditha his daughter,
afterwards married to Edward the Confessor), as Malmesbury informs us,
1030, built and endowed a monastery of secular priests, which might
marry wives; valued at the suppression, 26 Hen. VIII. at £350 per
annum; and the reason of this her pious foundation is said to be, for
that she was fully persuaded that her husband, Earl Godwin, escaped
the danger of a shipwreck in a raging tempest at sea by his merits and
intercessions.

Galfrid de Dynham, Lord of Hartland, was a great benefactor to this
monastery, and changed the Secular Priests into Black Canons
Augustine, who were prohibited marriage by their rule. See the
Monasticon Anglicanum, tome II. p. 285, concerning Nectan and
Hartland.

This barton and manor of St. Winow gave name and original to an old
family of gentlemen, from thence surnamed de St. Winow, of which
family was that Philip de St. Winow, who had £20 lands and upwards in
this place, held by the tenure of knight service, 25 Edward III. 1352
(Survey of Cornwall, p. 52,) from whose heirs it passed by descent or
purchase about Henry VIth’s time to ―――― Upton, which Upton was
originally descended either from the Uptons of Upton and Colombton, or
Lupton, in Brixham parish, in Devon, whose elder brother’s estate
passed by his daughter and heir in marriage to the Wingfields; as also
the estate of this Upton of St. Winow did by marriage with his
daughter and heir to William Lower, esq. of Trelaske, in Lawanack,
Sheriff of Cornwall 16 Henry VIII. 1525. William Lower, esq. his son,
or grandson, was Sheriff of Cornwall 20th of Elizabeth; he married one
of Reskimer’s heirs, and had issue Nicholas Lower, esq. afterwards
knighted, Sheriff of Cornwall 8 Charles I. Sir Nicholas married ――――,
and had issue one only daughter, that became his heir, and was married
to Sir William Drummond, knight, who had issue by her two daughters
that became his heirs; the one married to Charles Trevanion, of
Caryhayes, esq. and to ―――― Roper, esq. now Lord of this place in fee.
The possession by lease in Stephen Robins, esq. Sheriff of Cornwall
about the year 1700, who married ―――― Robins, his father William of
Probus, and giveth for his arms the same as Robins of Verian.

Tethe, in this parish, alias Eade or Ethy, was the seat of some of the
Courtneys of Boconnock, from whose heirs it passed by purchase, as I
am informed, to John Trevill, esq. Sheriff of Cornwall 18 Charles II.
whose three daughters and heirs carried those lands, together with
themselves, in marriage, to Burthog, Savery, and Arscott; but
Arscott’s lady dying under age, he purchased this barton and manor of
Tethe, or Ethy, from Burthog and Savery, whose younger son Denis
Arscott, esq. Sheriff of Cornwall 4th King George, was then in
possession thereof.

Tre-vego, alias Tre-vega, in this parish, that is to say, the town
upon the top of a stiff hill or precipice, according to the natural
circumstances of the place, is the dwelling of Warwick Hankey, esq.
barrister-at-law, that married Jane, daughter of Giles Risdon, of
Babeleigh, esq.

In this parish stands Lar-an Bridge, i. e. the Floor Bridge.


TONKIN.

The tutelar saint of this parish is St. Winnocus (Moreri’s Dictionary,
vol. I. voce Bergh St. Vinoc), who was born in Armorica, or Little
Britain, and having associated himself about the year 680 with St.
Bertin, Abbat of Sithien, established a monastery at a place in
Flanders, and died there the 6th of November 717, which place has been
once called from him Bergh St. Winnox, a town being built there and
surrounded with walls in 950; since that it has been regularly
fortified, belongs to the French, and is about four miles from
Dunkirk.

This is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Book at £5.; the patronage in
the Dean and Chapter of Exeter; the incumbent Mr. Thomas Laurenc.

In 1291, 20 Edward I. this church was valued (Tax. Benef.) at cx_s._
being appropriated to the Chapter of Exeter; and the chapel of St.
Nectan at v_s._


THE EDITOR.

The Church of St. Winnow is beautifully situated on the eastern bank
of the river, at its most beautiful part, between Lestwithiel and
Fowey. The church, with its tower, are fine objects as seen from the
river, which does not yield in this spot to the Dart itself. The
Church contains several monuments.

The vicarage house and glebe partake of the splendour of the scenery;
and during the life of their late proprietor, the Reverend Robert
Walker, were among the most attractive spots in Cornwall. Mr. Walker,
possessed of strong abilities, had an ardent desire to discharge all
the duties attached to him as a clergyman and as a country gentleman,
in a manner the most beneficial to all with whom he had any concern;
in the relations of private life he was equally estimable; and as a
most decisive proof of his real merits and high deserts, it may be
truly said, that, although he was induced on principle to take a
strong part in politics, he had not a single personal enemy.

The chapel, dedicated to the Recluse of Hertland, has still divine
service occasionally performed in it, although it does not form any
practical division of the parish.

The history of Ethy has been brought down to the period immediately
preceding its possession by the Edgecumbe family; the house has been
occupied of late years by several gentlemen, and especially by one who
has done honour to the nation by his naval and military services, and
to Cornwall as a private man. Admiral Sir Charles Vinicombe Penrose
distinguished himself on so many occasions, that to enumerate them all
would be to write a life. Two, which do not relate immediately to the
more obvious features of the military profession, may, however, be
selected.

In the year 1797, when the navy of England underwent the greatest
disgrace it has ever experienced, by the prevalence of a mutiny which
threatened our safety as a country, this excellent officer preserved
his ship in due subordination.

In the year 1814, when the Duke of Wellington invaded France from the
Pyrenees, and his passage was disputed across the Adour, Admiral
Penrose, uniting to scientific acquirements the skill and the bravery
of an English seaman, constructed a bridge of boats where it was
thought impossible to place them, and thus greatly contributed to the
success of this important part of the combined attack.

In the Parliamentary Edition of the Taxatio Ecclesiastica of Pope
Nicholas IV. p. 145, the entries respecting St. Winnowe are as follow:

GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

The rocks of this parish are similar to those of the adjoining
parishes, Broadoak, Boconnoc, and St. Veep.




WITHIEL.


HALS.

Withiel is situate in the hundred of Pider, and hath upon the north
St. Breock, east Lannyvet, south Roach, west St. Wenn. As for those
names, they are synonymous in Cornish, and signify in that phrase, a
place of trees, which heretofore it was; and is so called, for that
this church is situate upon the manor of Withell Goose, i. e. Tree
Wood, or a place heretofore consisting in its voke lands of a wood of
trees (neither is it altogether destitute of wood and trees to this
day, though within the memory of man, much of them have been cut down
for buildings and charcoal there, and all the parish over).

At the time of the Norman Conquest, this district was rated in the
Domesday Book by the name of Ber-neves (still the voke lands of a
manor in this parish, of which, see more under), as also Trenant or
Trenance. In the inquisition of the Bishops of Lincoln and Winchester
into the value of Cornish Benefices, Ecclesia de Withell, in decanatu
de Pider, was rated at £4. In Wolsey’s Inquisition, 1621, £10. The
patronage was formerly in the Prior of Bodman, who endowed it out of
his manor of Withell Goos aforesaid; which lands and patronage, when
that Priory was dissolved, fell to the Crown, from whence it passed to
Glanvill of Killivor; from Glanvill to Vivian of Truan; from Vivian of
Truan, by marriage of his daughter, to Vivian of Trelowarren, now in
possession thereof; the incumbent ―――― Wood; and the parish rated to
the four shillings per pound Land Tax 1696, for one year, tempore
William III. £18. 4_s._ 2_d._

Thomas Vivian, Prior of St. Pedyr at Bodmyn, Bishop of Megara, a city
of Achaia in Greece, on the borders of Attica, built the rectory house
in this place, as appears from his paternal coat armour, and that of
the arms of Megara bishoprick, lately extant in the glass windows
thereof, tempore Henry VII. and VIII.

Bor, Ber, or Bur-nevas or Nefas, is still the voke lands of an ancient
dismembered manor, taxed as aforesaid, otherwise Buro-neves.

Tre-nance in this parish, i. e. the valley town, or town in the
valley, was also rated in the Domesday Book 1087, as then the voke
lands of a manor, which place gave name and original to an old family
of gentlemen surnamed de Trenance, one of which family married
Littleton’s heir, and afterwards removed to Lanhydrock, whereof they
were lords, tempore James I. when Littleton Trenance, esq. sold that
barton to the Lord Robartes, as a younger branch of this family,
living at Black Haye in this parish, sold Trenance to Mapowder; and
Mapowder sold it to Bone; Bone gave it to Harris of St. Stephen’s; and
Harris sold it to Hawkins, now in possession of part thereof. The
other moiety of this little barton of Trenance, is in possession of
the Arundells of Lanherne.

John Trenance of Black Haye, gent. had issue by ―――― ―――― only three
daughters, married to Elford of Roach or St. Dennis, Buckingham of
Probus, and Randolph of this parish; the which Mr. Elford is now in
possession thereof [who sold it to Pomery his son-in-law, who leased
it to Mr. Trewerne, Rector of Withell.[23]]

The arms of Trenance, out of a supposed allusion to their name, after
the Latin, is taken as a corruption of Tre-ensis, i. e. three swords;
whereas, Trenance is the name of a local place, and signifies as
aforesaid, and Try-clothes, Try-glodes, is three swords.

Bryn, i. e. a hill or lofty place, tempore Edward IV. was the lands of
Beare of Killygarth, by whose daughter and heir it came in marriage,
together with his other lands, to Peter Bevill, a younger branch of
Gwarnack house; whose son, Sir William Bevill, dying without issue
male, his brother, Philip Bevill, became his heir; who had issue only
one daughter named Elizabeth, which was married to Sir Bernard
Grenville of Stowe, knight, in whose issue by her, the name, blood,
and estate of this Bevill is terminated. The which Sir Bernard, and
his lady big with child, for health and diversion residing at Bryn
aforesaid, the said lady happened to fall into childbirth, and there
was well delivered of her first-born son, who afterwards was baptised
at the font by the name of Bevill; which afterwards proved to be that
famous and renowned though unfortunate hero, Sir Bevill Grenville,
knight, slain at Lansdowne in Somerset, on the part and behalf of King
Charles I. against the parliament army.

Bryn is still the lands of Grenville, and by lease in possession of
Robins, who as I have heard, hath since purchased the fee thereof from
Grenville’s heirs.


TONKIN.

Withiel is in the hundred of Pider, the manor and manorial house, I
believe, being denominated only from the personal name of its owner,
Withiel.

In anno 1291, 20 Edward I. this church was valued (Tax. Ben.) at £4.
being appropriated to the Priory of Bodmin.

This is a rectory, valued in the King’s Book £10.; the patronage in
Sir Francis Vyvyan, Bart.; the incumbent Mr. Richard Trewren, who
succeeded Mr. William Wood in 17――.

The 12 Edward I. this manor, in the extent of Cornish acres, was
valued in fifteen. (Carew, fol. 46 b.)


THE EDITOR.

Withiel does not present any thing in addition to what has been said
of it.

Mr. Lysons does not give any information of the least interest
respecting property in the parish. The larger portion belongs to the
Vyvyans of Trelowarren, as well as the advowson. A younger brother of
that family, the Rev. Vyal Vyvyan, is the present incumbent, and this
gentlemen has greatly improved the house.

There is a monument in the church to the Reverend Richard Trewren, his
wife, and two daughters, one the widow of Mr. Ustick of Pendavey,
which place he sold to the Molesworths of Peranrow. Mr. Trewren was a
brother of the family of Tredreva in Constantine: he married Catherine
Davies, a sister of the Editor’s grandfather.

THE GEOLOGY, BY DOCTOR BOASE.

This parish has the same geological structure as St. Wenn, to which it
adjoins.


     [23] This is a more recent insertion.




ZENNAR.


HALS.

Zennar is situated in the hundred of Penwith, and hath upon the north
the Irish sea, north-east Tywidneck, south Maddarne. For the name, if
it be compounded of Sen-nar, it signifies Holy Pool or Lake;
otherwise, if it be a corruption of Se-nar or Seynar, English Cornish,
it signifies the sea lake, or creek of the sea; and the church is
situated in a valley near the sea, with a rivulet of water flowing by
it.

At the time of the Norman Conquest, this district was taxed under the
jurisdiction of Trenwith, or of Alvorton. When the first inquisition
into the value of Cornish Benefices was made, this church was not
endowed, if extant; however, in Wolsey’s Inquisition (1521), it was
rated by the name of Zennor or Sennor £5. 5_s._ The patronage in the
Bishop of Exeter. This parish was rated to the four shillings in the
pound Land Tax in 1696, for one year, at £86. 10_s._

This church, I take it, was endowed by the Prior of St. Michael’s
Mount, and was formerly wholly impropriate. This parish is
comparatively scattered all over with stones and rocks of great
bigness; yet amongst those are found very many fertile plots of ground
for corn, grass, and barley, as also many tin lodes, tending to the
great profit of the farmers and tinners thereof.

In this parish are the ruins of an old free chapel called Chapel Jane,
that is the narrow chapel.


TONKIN.

Zennar is in the hundred of Penwith, is bounded to the west by Morva,
to the north by the main ocean, to the east by Tawednack, to the south
by Madderne.

This parish takes its name from its tutelar saint.

This is a vicarage, valued in the King’s Book £5. 5_s._ the patronage
in the Bishop of Exeter; the incumbent Mr. Oliver.


THE EDITOR.

This parish is beautifully situated, mainly consisting of a belt
nearly a mile wide, between the sea on one hand, bounded by high and
rocky cliffs, and on the other hand by a chain of granite mountains.

The belt of land, including the church town, is very fertile,
particularly abounding in milk and honey, which we early learn to
consider as proofs of the most abundant soil.

The church and tower are neat and plain, and it is probable that Mr.
Hals’s conjecture respecting its ancient dependence on St. Michael’s
Mount, may be correct, since one or more of the bells are said to bear
an inscription declaring them the gift of the prior of the Mount.

Mr. Tonkin says, that the name is taken from a patron Saint, but no
such saint can be found; and the parish feast is kept on the nearest
Sunday to the 6th of May, when the festival is observed by the Church
of Rome, in commemoration of the virtual martyrdom and miraculous
preservation of St. John the Evangelist; when, by the order of
Domitian, he was cast into a caldron of boiling oil before the Latin
or Lateran Gate of Rome, where the church of St. John Lateran has
since been built, the chief sacred edifice in Rome previously to the
construction of St. Peter’s, and celebrated for the assemblage of
various general councils of the Catholic Church, thence denominated
Councils of Lateran. It is probable, therefore, that this parish may
be under the protection of the divine and beloved Apostle.

Towards the western extremity of the parish a bold promontory
stretches out into the sea, called Trereen Dinas, but in recent times,
from some fanciful resemblance, the Gurnet’s Head. This is by much the
finest and most romantic point on the north side of the Land’s End,
and it would rival the promontory nearly opposite to it on the south,
called by the same name, Trereen Dinas, or Castle Trereen, if that
were not composed of granite and crowned by the Logging Rock; while in
Zennar the sea shore and the cliffs are every where green stone,
surrounding the granite.

For a description of this headland, see the Second Volume of the
Transactions of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall, p. 200. The
Editor was so much struck with the appearance of this bold formation,
that he purchased the manor of Treen and Baswedneck chiefly for the
purpose of acquiring the property of a mass of rocks so geologically
interesting.

The impropriation of the great tithes belongs to George John, esq. of
Rosemorron, and of Penzance.

  Zennar measures 3,647 statute acres.

    was £179.


THE GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

The greater part of this parish is situated on granite, which presents
the varieties common to the Land’s End district. The northern part, in
the form of an irregular band, consists of schistose rocks, with the
exception of a small patch a little to the north of the church, and
another which extends from Polmear Cove to the western boundary of the
parish. These slates are for the most part felspathic, and, at their
points of junction with the granite, exhibit some beautiful
illustrations of granitic veins in the slate.

       *     *     *     *     *

Note, that Penzance, by a mistake, is not numbered among the parishes
[nor is Tregoney]; so that the real number of them must be 204 [or
rather 205].


GENERAL REMARKS ADDED HERE BY MR. WHITAKER.

It is stated by Carew:

Fol. 8. “They [the Cornish Tinners] maintaine these workes [“two kind
of Tynne workes, _Stream_ and _Load_”] to have beene verie auncient,
and first wrought by the Jewes with _Pick-axes_ of holme, boxe, and
_hartshorne_: they prove this by the name of those places yet
enduring, to wit _Attall Sarazin_, in English, the _Jewes’ Offcast_,
and by _those tooles daily_ found amongst the _rubble of such
workes_.” So, in the stream-work now prosecuted at Carne between Truro
and Penrin, were found two stems of deer-horns, which I inspected at
Tregothnan in Nov. 1792, and which had been plainly shaped into
pickaxes. One of them was even tinged strongly at the picking end,
with the stain of some metallic matter on which it has been employed.

Not far from them was found a brass instrument, that had clearly, from
the shade still remaining upon the covered part, once had a handle
clipping it round the middle, and leaving out the two ends for
striking. July 19, 1794, was promised by Lady Falmouth a sketch of all
three, done by the hand of the Rev. Mr. Hennah, Rector of St. Austle;
but, as he had pronounced the brass instrument to be no celt, and as I
proved it to be one, he never sent the sketch.

“There are also taken up in such works,” adds Carew, “certaine little
tooles’ heads of brasse, which some terme thunder axes; but they make
small show of any profitable use. Neither were the Romaines ignorant
of this trade, as may appeare by a brasse coyne of DOMITIAN’S, found
in one of these workes,” stream or load, “and fallen into my hands.”

Fol. 56. “Most of the inhabitants can [speak] no word of Cornish, but
_very few_ are ignorant of the English; and yet _some so affect their
owne_, as to _a stranger they will not speake it_: for, if meeting
them by chance, you inquire the way or any such matter, your answer
shal be, _Meea navidua cowzasawsneck_, I can speake no Saxonage.” W.]




THE ISLANDS OF SCILLY.


THE EDITOR.

Neither Mr. Hals nor Mr. Tonkin has noticed these islands.

It may be proper, therefore, to add a few observations on their
ancient history, of which however very little is known.

That the Phœnicians, and after them the merchants of Carthage, traded
with the Britons for tin, is established without the slightest doubt;
but no possible absurdity can be greater than the supposition that
voyagers, having sailed through the Mediterranean Sea, and passed
between the Pillars of Hercules into the exterior ocean, and navigated
through this boundless and dreaded expanse of water for about a
thousand miles, should then stop short at trifling islands, or rather
rocks, and that too year after year during centuries, with the country
before them, actually in sight, from whence the valuable commodity
which they sought must have been manifestly taken, and where they
would have been sure of an improved market for the commercial articles
to be given in exchange. Yet, relying on the literal interpretation of
passages from ancient authors, who never visited the land of tin, nor
possibly ever conversed with the adventurous sailors who had been
there, persons of account have gravely asserted that the rocks of
Scilly were the ancient Cassiterides; while others, to render this
strange supposition somewhat less absurd, have glossed it with the
miracle, probably invented by Florence of Worcester, of a large tract
of country between these existing islands and the Land’s End, having
been engulphed within times of recent memory.

Perhaps this mode of induction, directly opposed to common sense and
to experience, may be a remnant of the hallucination which bound
itself round men’s minds at the period when the stores of ancient
learning were first poured on modern Europe; under this delusion they
were not contented with ascribing a high degree of merit to the
artists, to the writers, to the architects of Greece and Rome; nothing
short of absolute perfection was believed to exist in each, and this
servile appeal to authority is not even yet quite obsolete, although
the time for such delusions being in the slightest degree advantageous
either to literature or to science, has long since passed by.

The traders who frequented these remote shores would naturally mistake
land in the great unbounded ocean for mere islands, and their vague
descriptions, purposely made obscure, proved so successful that Julius
Cæsar was not aware when he landed on the coast of Kent that he was
arrived in the country producing tin.

The rocks of Scilly, having inhabitants, were visited by monks and
anchorites, who formed establishments there, and gradually associated
themselves into a small priory; but, so early as the time of King
Henry the First, their monastery, with all its appendages, was given
to the Abbey of Tavistock. The grant is extant.

     “Henricus Rex Anglorum Willelmo Episcopo Excestriæ et
     Ricardo filio Baldwini, et Justiciæ suæ de Devenesira et
     Cornegallia, salutem. Sciatis me dedisse in perpetuam
     elemosinam Osberto Abbati et Ecclesiæ de Tavystok, et
     Turoldo Monacho suo, omnes Ecclesias de Sullye cum
     pertinentiis suis, et terram sicut unquam Monachi aut
     Heremitæ melius eam tenuerunt tempore Regis Edwardi, et
     Burgaldi Episcopi Cornegalliæ. Et volo et præcipio quod ipse
     Turoldus et omnes Monachi de Sully sicut proprii Præbendarii
     mei habeant firmam pacem cum omnibus quæ ad eas pertinent,”
     &c.

There is also a confirmation by Reginald de Dunstanville, illegitimate
son of King Henry the First, who was created Earl of Cornwall in 1140,
and died without male issue in 1175.

     “Reginaldus Regis Filius Comes Cornubiæ, omnibus Baronibus suis
     et Ballivis suis Cornubiæ et Scilly, salutem. Sciatis me, pro
     anima Henrici Regis patris mei, et mea, et pro Carta ipsius quam
     vidi, concessisse et confirmasse in liberam et perpetuam
     elemosinam Monachis de Sully, sicut propriis Præbendariis Patris
     mei, omne WREC quod in Insulis, quas ipsi totas tenent,
     advenerit; præter cœtum et navem integram, hoc est, in Rentemen
     et Nurcho et insula Sancti Elidii et Sancti Sampsonis, et Sanctæ
     Teonæ. Et prohibeo super forisfactum meum, sicut prohibuit pater
     meus per cartam suam, ne quis eis aliquam injuriam faciat aut
     molestiam. Quoniam nolo ut de aliquo tenemento suo in Scilly aut
     libertate aut consuetudine, quam eis concessi, alicui amodo
     intendant nisi michi[24] et Abbati Tavistochiæ.

     “Teste Radulpho de Bosco-Roardi apud Dorecestriam.”

There is also another document, entitled,

“Confirmatio B. Episcopi Exoniæ de Decimis de Sully.”――It is probable
that the person indicated by B, was Bartholomew Iscan, consecrated in
1161, and died in 1184.

     “Omnibus fidelibus ad quos præsens scriptura pervenerit, B.
     divina miseratione dictus Episcopus Exoniæ salutem in Domino.

     “Hiis testibus, B. Archidiacono Cornubiensi, &c.”

There is also a letter of protection from King Edward the First for
the prior of St. Nicholas, within his island de Scilly. This letter is
addressed among others, to the constable of his camp in the island of
Enmour in Scilly.

Enmour may well be a corruption of Ennis Moor, the great island,
possibly the secular name of St. Mary’s.

In the time of Edward the Third, this priory or cell to Tavistock must
have been of very little importance, since in the 19th year of his
reign, it appears by the following entry in the Abbreviatio Rotulorum
Originalium, that two monks only were resident. Since, for some reason
which it is difficult to discover, secular priests were to be
stationed in Scilly during the continuance of a war with France,
instead of the monks, which gave rise to the following agreement:

     “Abbas et Conventus de Tavistok finem fecerunt cum Rege per
     viginti solidos, pro licentia habenda, quod ipsi duos capellanos
     sæculares pro animabus progenitorum Regis, quondam Regum Angliæ,
     et hæredum suorum, in Insula de Sulley celebraturos, loco duorum
     Capellanorum commonachorum suorum, quos ibidem ex causa prædicta
     invenire solebant, durante guerra inter Regem et homines de
     Francia mota, invenire possint.”

Since the Reformation the tithes have been appropriated, and passed
with the different leases of the lands. Remains of the convent, most
properly dedicated to St. Nicholas, are still to be seen on the island
of Trescow. St. Nicholas was the patron of mariners, and frequently
preserved vessels in a miraculous manner when his aid had been
fervently invoked; perhaps the right of wreck was given to the convent
for the pupose of attaching an increased degree of merit to their
prayers in favour of ships likely to be dashed against those rocks.

St. Nicholas had also delegated to him from Heaven the peculiar care
of infants, as a reward for his early piety, which induced him, in the
first month, to abstain from taking the nourishment afforded by his
mother’s breast on Wednesdays and Fridays, and on all occasional fasts
appointed by the church.

He was Archbishop of Myra, a city of Lycia, in Lesser Asia, where he
died in 342; but in 1087 his relics were forcibly taken from thence,
and conveyed to the town of Bavi in Italy, towards the opening of the
Adriatic, and where they continue to perform the most wonderful cures,
more especially in all cases of infants.

The Scilly Islands first became objects of public attention in the
great civil war, and especially towards the latter part of these
struggles. After the death of King Charles the First, Sir John
Grenville, subsequently created Earl of Bath in memory of the battle
at Lansdown, where his father fell in the arms of victory, having
collected a small force, kept possession of St. Mary’s island, where
they either constructed or enlarged lines, rather than a fortress,
which still remain. Their opponents encamped themselves on Trescow,
till at last, as relief was clearly impossible, the cavaliers
surrendered, but not till they had evinced their honour and true
feelings as gentlemen, by refusing to accept any terms from a foreign
power, and preserving the integrity of England, although it was in the
hands of their deadly foes.

Unfortunately for these islands, they remain public property, or as it
is termed, belong to the Crown; and a system has prevailed, at least
from the time of Queen Elizabeth, one of the very worst that could be
devised, of granting them at an annual rent, and for a short term of
years, to private gentlemen; renewed, indeed, in the same line for
more than two hundred years, first to the family of Godolphin, and
then to the family of Osborne, which succeeded to the property of the
former, but always with an uncertain tenure and the impossibility of
encouraging others to expend capital on any permanent undertaking.

A better system has, however, been at last adopted, although very
inferior to the plain, simple, and natural one of making the land
freeholds in the hands of individuals.

Either the former lessee for years no longer wished to retain a source
of small patronage, rendered of little importance by well-known
changes, or the government resolved on doing something beneficial for
the inhabitants and for the country; at all events, a lease for lives
has now been granted to Mr. Smith, a gentleman of ability and
information, the eldest son of a respectable country gentleman, under
certain conditions, and among them a stipulation for essentially
improving the harbour by the construction of a pier, the government
contributing a certain sum towards the expense, and the lessee
undertaking to complete the work. Mr. Smith, it is understood, means
to reside there; and great expectations are entertained of the benefit
likely to result.

Such a cluster of rocks, from eight to nine leagues west-south-west
off the main land, must always be dangerous to ships returning from
distant voyages; but the risk has been very greatly diminished by the
excellent light on St. Agnes. There is, however, one rock called the
Wolf, somewhat more than a third of the distance of Scilly from the
Land’s End, on which a light-house might be erected; and the losses of
lives and of property on this rock, which lies immediately in the way
of all coasting vessels, more especially of those from Ireland, are
supposed by many competent judges to exceed the losses occasioned by
all the other western rocks taken together.

Before lights were placed on the coast, and the soundings laid down
with accuracy, and the nature of the ground described, and before
astronomical observations were brought to practical perfection, the
wrecks were, perhaps, quadruple to what they are at present, and with
not one fourth of the vessels at sea: among the innumerable wrecks
that have taken place at Scilly, the most remarkable is that of the
Victory, a first-rate ship of war, commanded by Sir Cloudesley Shovel,
returning from a series of exploits, which continued adding to his
reputation even when they failed of obtaining success. This ship, with
two others of a smaller size, struck on the rocks of Scilly in the
night following the 22d of October 1705, when between fifteen hundred
and two thousand men are supposed to have perished; and there is a
tradition of one man having escaped, and of his relating some
anecdotes of obstinacy, and even of violence, on the part of the
Admiral, discreditable to him as a man, and the immediate causes of
the calamity; but these additions induce me entirely to disbelieve the
whole tale.

The Scilly Islands are composed of granite, similar to that of the
Land’s End district, and intersected by small lodes of tin, but not of
a size sufficiently large to have produced at any period a quantity
worthy of mercantile account.

The land does not rise into lofty hills, nor are the rocks on a scale
of magnificence; and the people have been so much absorbed in trade
and in intercourse with strangers from all nations, that they are
without any legendary histories or peculiarity of manners.

Although St. Mary’s, Trescow, and St. Agnes’, St. Martin’s, Bryher,
and Sampson, have alone permanent inhabitants, yet a great many more
islands are dignified with specific names. Among these one rock is
honoured with the appellation of Scilly; and this trifling
circumstance has given rise to theories about changes and devastations
by the sea, by earthquakes, &c. when the name has clearly been given
in the same spirit as that which induced seamen to declare that the
cord attached to the water bucket is the only rope belonging to a ship.

Alterations in the laws respecting Customs and Excise, with increased
vigilance as well as greater activity, both at sea and on shore, have
materially interfered with the most lucrative trade of these
islanders. They are, however, tolerably well supported by their
agriculture, which is said to afford more corn than they consume; by
their fisheries, particularly of ling, which are exported after being
pressed and dried almost without salt; and finally, by the resort of
ships in great numbers when the wind happens to be in opposition to
their intended voyages.

Doctor Borlase has written a separate treatise on the Scilly Islands,
and described in it the scanty remains of their supposed Druidical
antiquities.

At the time of the last census (in 1831) the population was as
ascertained to be

                                            Statute Acres.

         The small islands are estimated at     150

                                               4230

A recent benefit has been given to Scilly by the legislature, in
respect to their police and to the administration of justice. The sole
authority previously existing in the islands resided in a court
possessing very limited power, and that undefined, so that no case of
any magnitude could be acted on in any other way than by sending the
parties over to the main land; an Act of Parliament has now enabled
the executive government to appoint magistrates who may act in Scilly,
without qualification by the possession of freehold property, in as
ample a manner as other justices of the peace may act for the county
at large.

The population of Cornwall is given for the years 1700 and 1750, at
105,800 and 135,000; but I know not on what authority. The years 1801,
1811, 1821, and 1831 are from the Parliamentary publications founded
on the actual census on each occasion.

POPULATION OF CORNWALL.

  In 1700 | In 1750 | In 1801 | In 1811 | In 1821 | In 1831
  ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――- | ――――――-
  105,800 | 135,000 | 194,500 | 216,667 | 257,447 | 301,017

The per-centages of increase taken for 30 years, at the rate between
each interval, are 15¾ per cent., 24 per cent., 38¼ per cent., 67¾ per
cent., and 60 per cent.

  At the rate of increase from 1700 to 1750,
    1000 would become in a century 1628, and would double in 140 years.
  At the rate of increase from 1750 to 1801,
    1000 would become in a century 2046, and would double in 96,8
    years.
  At the rate of increase from 1801 to 1811,
    1000 would become in a century 2943, and would double in 64,2
    years.
  At the rate of increase from 1811 to 1821,
    1000 would become in a century 5610, and would double in 40,2
    years.
  At the rate of increase from 1821 to 1831, 1000 would become in a
    century 4776, and would double in 44,3 years.

The population of Cornwall being in 1831, according to the actual
census, 301,017, if it continued to increase accordingly for a century
at the rate ascertained between 1811 and 1821, the number of people in
1931 would amount to one million six hundred and eighty-eight thousand
six hundred and fifty!

The Editor has been favoured with the following list of plants
illustrative of the mild climate of Cornwall.


The native plant of greatest curiosity is the Erica Vagans, Erica
Didima of Withering, Erica Multiflora of Ray and Hudson. This plant
spreads over the whole serpentine formation of the Lizard, and
observes its limits almost to a foot. It is said to appear again at
Clickitor near Liskeard, where the serpentine formation is also found.

The Ligusticum Cornubiense, remarkable only from its extreme rarity,
grows near Bodmin, in a place called Margaret’s Wood.

The Tamarix Gallica grows in great abundance about the Lizard,
apparently wild, but it is said to have been brought there from St.
Michael’s Mount in the early part of the last century; and St.
Michael’s Mount having been long a cell to Mount St. Michael in
Normandy, the shrub may very probably have been introduced by the
monks. It powerfully resists the sea winds, and grows freely on the
banks of earth or sand surrounding inclosures near the shore. The wood
is so solid as to sink in water.

The Panicum Dactylon grows on the bank of gravel lying between the
sea, and the road leading from Marazion to Penzance.

The Sibthorpia Europæa may be found in great plenty about half a mile
inland from thence, in a stream flowing westward by the road near
Gulval church town. This plant was named by Linnæus in honour of
Humphry Sibthorpe, M.D. Professor of Botany at Oxford from 1747 to
1784. The hybrid variety or monstrosity of the Antirrhinum Linaria,
called Peloria, is said to grow at the foot of Mabe Hill on the old
road leading from Helston to Penryn. The Erica Ciliaris has recently
been found at Carclew, near Penryn, the seat of Sir Charles Lemon,
M.P. for the county.

And many of the cryptogamia flourish in a degree unknown in other
countries, among which the magnificent Osmunda Regalis may be selected
as a specimen.

IV.


Since the parish of Broadoak was printed, an additional sheet of Mr.
Hals’s manuscript has been communicated to the Editor by his friend
the Rev. Richard Polwhele. It contains an account of the important
military events which distinguished that parish and the neighbourhood,
in 1644, and it is therefore printed as a curious addition to what has
here been given in the body of the work, on the same subject. Mr.
Polwhele has also sent another sheet relative to St. Stephen’s near
Saltash, but that does not contain anything of the least importance.

These two sheets appear to have been separated from the work at Exeter
by the carelessness of the bookseller in whose hands the whole had
been lodged, and this confirms the suspicion of more important losses
having taken place at the same time.


BROADOAK.

Broadoak is situate in the hundred of West, and hath upon the south
Boconnock, west St. Winnow, east St. Pynock, north Cardinham; and by
the name of Bradock it was taxed in Domesday Roll, 20 William I. 1087;
which word, if it be single, signifies a rebel or traitor, one that
betrays the trust and fidelity reposed in him by another; otherwise if
it be commonly understood of Brad-ock or Brodock, it signifies broad
trees of oak (Saxon).

In the Pope’s Inquisition into the value of Benefices before-mentioned,
1294, Capella de Bradock in decanatu de Westwellshire, appropriata
Domui de Lanceston, was valued at xiii_s._ iv_d._ from whence it
appears the church was endowed by the college of St. Stephen’s or
Lanceston; in Wolsey’s Inquisition or Valor Beneficiorum at £8. 13_s._
4_d._; the patronage in the Bishop of Exon, the incumbent Pearce, the
rectory in possession of ――――; and this parish was rated to the 4_s._
per pound Land Tax for one year, 1696, £57.

Here let it be remembered that Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, General
of the Parliament Army, being in Devon, received orders from his
masters, 1644, to march from thence with the same towards Plymouth, in
order to raise the siege thereof, it being then greatly distressed by
Sir Richard Grenville, as was the west part of that county, who
immediately set forward with his army, and marched on towards that
place; yet not so quickly but that Grenville had notice of his motion,
and, fearing he was not strong enough to engage his great army, he by
night privately dislodged from the siege of Plymouth with his own
regiment, Colonel Fortescue’s, Colonel Carew’s, and Colonel Acland’s;
and the better to shun or avoid his enemy, marching down by way of
Plympton, he turned aside towards St. Botolph’s and Saltash Passage,
where with boats he passed over his troops, and so entered over the
Tamar river into Cornwall; which Essex understanding as soon as he
came to Plymouth, having thus raised the siege and relieved the town,
forthwith marched after Grenville as far as Lestwithell and Bradoak
Downs, himself quartering at Lanhydrock, the Lord Robartes’s house,
and sending out troops of horse westwards if possible to attack him.
In the mean time, King Charles I. being then in Somerset with his
army, and having notice of those facts of Essex’s, forthwith marched
out of Somerset through Devon with his army for Grenville’s relief,
and entered Cornwall by way of Polston bridge, the 11th of August
1644; from thence advanced to Lanceston, and so directly to Liskeard,
which place for some time he made his head quarters, where the
townsmen and contiguous countrymen shewed themselves very zealous and
loyal towards his service, especially for that the town or borough and
manor of Leskeard was his son the Duke of Cornwall’s lands, in right
of his Duchy of Cornwall.

Soon after which the country people gave private notice to the King,
that on a certain day the quarter-master, General Dalbier,
Lieutenant-Colonel Charleton, Colonel Allured, Colonel Barkley, and
some other officers of Essex’s army were to dine at the Lord Mohun’s
house, not far from Lestwithell.

At the day appointed the King dispatched a party of horse, and by
surprise took them all prisoners (except Dalbier, who made his escape)
and brought them all prisoners to Leskeard, where soon after Prince
Rupert arrived at the King’s army, which gave great hopes of a notable
victory over Essex; and, in order to give him battle, the King soon
after drew forth his army from Leskeard, and marched west to Bradock
Downs in this parish, opposite to St. Winnow and Boconnock Downs,
where Essex lay encamped, on the east side of Lestwithell town, and
there pitched his camp and standard, he himself, Prince Rupert, and
Grenville quartering at the Lord Mohun’s house; from whence he sent a
letter August 16th, as he had sent another before from Leskeard by the
Lord Beauchamp’s nephew, to Essex, for a treaty of peace, to which he
received no answer; then he sent another letter to him in the name of
the officers of his army, to which Essex sent a negative answer
directed to the Earl of Forth, purporting that he had received a
letter from his lordship, and other commanders of the King’s army, by
which a treaty with him was desired for a general peace, which he
could not admit of without a breach of the trust reposed in him by the
Parliament, having no power by his commission to treat in a matter of
such importance.

Whereupon happened several skirmishes between the cavaliers and
parliament troops; and in particular that challenge and sharp charge
between Colonel Straughan’s for the Parliament and Colonel Digby’s for
the King, was most remarkable. Straughan’s troop consisted of a
hundred young men from sixteen to twenty years of age, on whose faces,
as was said, never razor had past in order to shave their beards, all
double, if not treble armed for this encounter. This troop of
Straughan’s was led forth by himself on Bradock and St. Winnow Downs,
having nothing on his head but a hat, and on the trunk of his body
nought but a white linen shift, where they braved it for some time
as was said before, giving defiance to a like number of the King’s
party in sight of the King and both armies; whereupon soon after
dislodged the Lord Digby’s troop for the King, to accept and fight
this challenge of Straughan’s, who with great resolution and bravery
advanced towards him, and gave the first onset or charge, but firing
their pistols at too great distance, it did little harm to his
adversary, whilst instantly Straughan, like a firebrand of hell, with
a led horse by his side, had before commanded his boys, as he called
them, to take their adversary’s fire, which they then did with
unspeakable hardiness, and rushed on to the very horse heads of
Digby’s troopers, that before had spent their shot, himself leading
the fore front to the very points of their swords, when he discharged
his double-barrelled pistols, and was in like manner seconded by his
troopers, who had all the same sort of pistols, and most of them laden
with three or four bullets each, which proved so fatal and disastrous
a blow to Digby’s troopers, that the one half of them were slain on
the spot or mortally wounded; and it was further observable, that
scarce horse or man that escaped went not off without some hurt or
damage, as I was told by one Mr. William Maye, a gentleman that was
one of Digby’s troop, and sorely wounded in this battle, the marks of
which through his hands, arms, and legs were visible, though cured to
a large degree, till his dying day, 1672; and much the like account I
had of this battle or combat from Mr. William Upcott, of Truro, and
Mr. Joseph Upcott, of Morval, brothers, that were parcel of
Straughan’s troop, who there took some of the King’s horses alive,
their riders being slain, upon whose furniture was his proper arms,
the star and the letters C. R.

But, alas! notwithstanding this success of Straughan’s troop, the King
with his army had so hemmed in or surrounded Essex in his head
quarters at Lestwithell, that he could not long subsist or have relief
for his soldiers, for the Lord Goring and Sir Thomas Basset, Knt.
stopped all provision with a great body of horse, that was coming to
him by way of St. Blazey from the west, as Sir Richard Grenville did
the like by way of St. Colomb, Bodmin, and Lanhydrock from the north;
whereupon it was resolved by Essex’s council, that he should desert
his army, and privately by night in a boat go down the river to
Fowey, and from thence take ship for Plymouth, which expedient was
accordingly put in execution, and the General Essex, the Lord
Robartes, and some others the next day got into Plymouth, being the
31st of August 1644. On the same day Sir William Balfour with two
thousand five hundred of the Parliament horse, with divers officers,
viz. Colonel Nicholas Boscawen, his Lieutenant-Colonel James Hals, of
Merther, Henry Courtenay, of St. Bennet’s in Lanyvet, Colonel John
Seyntaubyn, of Clowans, and his Lieutenant Colonel Braddon, Colonel
Carter, and several other officers and gentlemen of quality, early in
the morning forced their passage over St. Winnow, Boconnock, and
Bradock Downs, though the body of the King’s army, which lay encamped
on the heath in those places, maugre all opposition to the contrary;
from thence they rode to Leskeard, from thence to Saltash Passage, and
from thence to Plymouth safely the same day, amidst their own garrison
and confederates.

Notwithstanding this desertion of the general and other officers as
aforesaid, Major General Skippon (a Londoner), like a good commander,
resolved to live and die with his soldiers; and in order to their
preservation, being at least twelve thousand men, he led them down the
banks of the river on the west side thereof towards Foye, in order to
transport them over the passage or river to Lanteglos, or ship them
from thence for Plymouth, all other roads and high ways being stopped
up by the King’s army as aforesaid, during which march Skippon’s men
were sorely distressed in the rear by the King’s soldiers, so that
five of their field pieces were taken in the lanes, whereupon the next
morning his men made a stand, and with a brigade of horse that never
deserted the infantry, charged the King’s troops with great courage
and animosity, and beat them out of the field which they had lost the
day before, with some loss; whereupon immediately the King sent
Captain Brett with the Queen’s troop to attack them, who in the King’s
sight charged Skippon’s brigade with that fury and violence as forced
them to retire from the field aforesaid, whereby not only he regained
the ground that was lost, but got some other fields from his party,
and then returned in good order, having lost only four men, himself
being shot in the arm, for which brave adventure the King knighted him
on the spot. After which the Parliament soldiers were so dispirited
that they could hardly be brought to stand to their arms; upon which
dismay Colonel Butler and a trumpeter came to desire a parley with the
King, which was forthwith granted, and a treaty followed on the first
of September, when the Commissioners on the King’s part were Prince
Maurice and the Earl of Bramford, for Essex’s soldiers Major-General
Philip Skippon, Colonel Christopher Whichcott, and others, by whom a
cessation of hostility was agreed upon in these terms――

  _Observations on an Ancient Manuscript, entitled Passio Christi,
     written in the Cornish Language, and now preserved in the
     Bodleian Library; with an account of the Language, Manners, and
     Customs of the People of Cornwall. By William Scawen, Esq.
     Vice-Warden of the Stannaries._ (_From a Manuscript in the
     Library of Thomas Astle, Esq. 1777._)

  _On the Manuscript itself. On the description of the Passion
     contained therein. On the tongue in which the Passion is
     described, and the properties thereof, and how it relates to and
     concerns the people and places of Cornwall._


CONCERNING the manuscript itself, (which is the ground of the
fabric) the first thing that presents itself is the outside, which is
not polished, but in a homely, humble simplicity, and written upon a
rough old vellum, which may be supposed to be before parchments here
came much into use; and by the rude pictures set out therewith, it may
seem to be before the art of painting became better amongst us.

Next to behold the chirography thereof, written in no other than the
old Court Hand, not of the best form, but seeming somewhat older than
we find it in other places, and some of the letters and characters
different from the common Court Hand.

As to the speech itself, it is such as the common speakers of the
Cornish now used here do not understand, nor any but such as will be
at the pains to study it, no more than the common speakers of the
vulgar nation of the Greeks do at this day Homer’s Iliad. So the
Lord’s Prayer in the year 700 was thus in English: Vren fader thic
arth, &c. In 900, Thu ure fader the eart on heofenum.

As to the antiquity thereof, we observe the name of our Saviour is all
along written IHS, after the old form used in crucifixes, and then
also the name written Chrest, not Christ. So we find it written in
Tacitus, Suetonius, and in some other Roman authors it may be found.
So Christians were called Chrestians, as Tertullian observes, Apol. c.
3.[25] And so the vulgar in Cornish speak it Chrest, and not Christ.

In this old piece are no words antiently intermixed of the Saxon
tongue or Angles, which shews, in all probability, that it was written
before their time at least, if not much further off; whereas, the
common speech of it now carries much of those latter figures, to the
disfiguring of the face thereof. But of all other intermixion, it
seems to receive in it (with a kind of delight) the tongue of the
Romans, by whom the people were easily brought to take up that tongue
which they brought with them, and afterwards more and more by degrees
in succeeding times, the Roman speech was interwoven with the Cornish,
out of a natural propensity to it, as that tongue came to be used of
all other nations afterwards, as was observed before.

Another argument there is (and that which is to be admired and
rejoiced at) that in this old piece of the Passion, there is nothing
heretical, little of error to be found, or savouring of ill opinions;
which is strange, since it has passed through so many ages, in which
so many ill broods have been hatched, and, amongst others, one of our
own, the Pelagian heresy, a brat bred here amongst us at Bangor. Nor
is there any mention made of any monastical persons, or several orders
of men so living. Nothing that refers to Monks, Friars, Priors, or to
any other orders, secular or sacred, nor any thing said in approbation
or dislike of any such thing.

There is nothing in it savouring of the old bards or their poetry, nor
having references to Merlyanisms, but a bare and sober relation of
matter of fact.


II. As to the description of the Passion and Resurrection of our
Saviour, I cannot again but admire, that it is so unpolluted with the
Arian or Pelagian heresies. There are, it is true, some inoffensive
and harmless traditions, and a word may be let slip of the Virgin
Mary; and in those traditions you may observe the concurrence of
others.

And, first, concerning this Longis: it is to be inquired whether he be
not that Longinus mentioned in our Calendar on the fifteenth of March,
or that Longinus on the first of December; for of Longinus there is
the same history to be found in Picinellus his Mundus Symbolicus;[26]
whose words are, D. P. Comestor ad Longinum vitiosos et caligantes
fuisse oculos, cum vero fluentem in Christi latere sanguinem casu
illis admovisset, videndi acumen recepisse. In eandem Septentiam canit
S. G. Nazian-zenus.[27]

     Ubi fixit hastam, defluentis sanguinis
     Tinctam liquore, et ecce! ut utraque manu
     Hausit, oculosque hoc ungit hinc ut scilicet
     Detergat oculum nocte, que cera legit, &c.

     When into Christ he thrust his tainted spear,
     Lo! unto both his hands the blood flow’d there,
     Wherewith he anoints his eyes and then saw clear,
     Which like the night till that time blinded were.

Mr. Lassells, in his Voyages into Italy, tells us, that the picture of
Longinus stands under the top of the spear with which Christ’s side
was pierced, in the cupola at St. Peter’s church at Rome. It may be
conjectured, that this tradition owes its origin to the literal sense
of that prophecy; “they should look on him whom they had pierced.”

For the wood of the cross, (another of the traditions,) Genebrard’s
account thereof, as reported by Purchas in his Pilgrimage, p. 30,
comes somewhat near it, which is, that Seth went to the Cherub which
kept Paradise, and received three grains of the Tree of Life, whereof
we read in the Apocalypse, “The leaves shall heal the nation.” With
these three grains was an oil made, wherewith Adam was anointed, and
the stones put into his mouth, whence sprang the tree whereof the
cross of our Lord was made, hidden by Solomon in the Temple, and
after in the pool of Bethesda; according to which, in a church window
at St. Neot’s, is one pictured putting something under another’s
tongue, with this inscription, Hic Seth ponit tria grana sub lingua
Adæ. If any list to see further about the timber whereof the cross was
made, let him read Mr, Evelyn’s Sylva, c. 3, Num. 17. As to that of
the smith’s wife, in forming the nails for the crucifixion, perhaps
they might think, that as the first woman had the first hand in the
transgression, so a woman must be employed in the last act of this
tragedy. We may observe,

1. What true and manifest notions these antient people had, and
faithfully retained, of the Trinity, and the reverence they gave them.

2. How distinctly and clearly they did set forth, in those dark days
they lived in, the several distinct attributes of the Deity, assigning
power to the Father, wisdom to the Son, goodness to the blessed
Spirit.

4. How well they agree and adhere to the doctrine of the true church
of Christ, in the points maintained by us concerning the loss and fall
of man and mankind, and the restoration of him, and concerning the
eternal decree and purpose of God, in the salvation of man,
notwithstanding his fall.

We may observe by the Resurrection, thus shortly declared as it is,
that it appears plainly that those people were not Nullyfidians.

Nor were they Solyfidians.

They placed the foundation of their happiness in belief.

And the superstruction thereupon in good works.

Lastly, we cannot think they were any way inclinable to the minds of
those scoffers at the day of judgment, which St. Peter meets with in
his second Epistle, 2, 9, and 10. Our people acknowledged, that at the
Great Day of account a punishment shall be upon the wicked, and a
glory expected to be given to the godly. Thus far as a taste only of
what is contained therein.

III. On the tongue in which the Passion of our Saviour is thus
described, we have, among other things, such as these observables:

     1. The Idiom.
     2. The Innocency and Cleanness.
     3. The Wisdom.
     4. Significances of it.

1. For the Idioms. They put the substantive before the adjunct or
adjective. 2. The preposition sometimes comes after the noun. 3. It is
usual to change a letter in the beginning, middle, or end of a word or
syllable, and sometimes to omit in each for sound sake. 4. They
contract several words into one for sound sake, and that very short
also; with many other changes, of which it is hard to know or find any
certain rule now, but some may be made out upon reading, due
observation and experience had on this that follows; and for the
pronunciation, the Cornish is not to be gutturally pronounced as the
Welsh for the most part is, nor mutteringly as the Armorick, nor
whiningly as the Irish (which two latter qualities seem to have been
contracted from their servitudes), but must be lively and manly
spoken, like other primitive tongues.

2. For the Innocency of it. What is most remarkable is, that it hath a
most excellent defective qualification in it, peculiar to itself; for,
whereas all other tongues abound in execrable oaths, the old Cornish
have none at all, not so much as reproachful terms. The word that
comes nearest to an oath with them is Areire, Areiaree, which is Mary,
Mary, spoken by way of wonder. The next good defective qualification
is, that there are no great titles in it, which Nutricule Tyrannidis.

3. For the Wisdom, Proverbs (which contain usually the wisdom of a
nation) they have had, but we cannot find them in any great plenty.
Yet some there are worthy observing, as these:

     Cows nebas, cows da, nebas an yeveren an gevella.
     Speak little, speak well, little of public matter is best.

     Cows nebas, cows da, hada veth cowsas arta.
     Speak little, speak well, and well will be spoken again.

     Taw Tavas.
     Be silent tongue.――To call one Tavas Tavas, Tongue Tongue, is as
       great a reproach as you can put upon any one.

     Reys yw meeras dueth ken lemmell uneth.
     Look twice before you leap once.

     Neb na gare y gwayn coll restewa.
     He that loves not gain loss befall him.

     Neb na gare y gy an gwra deveeder.
     He that loves not his dog will make him a choaked sheep.

     Non ges goon heb lagas na kei hebs scovern.
     There is no down without eye, nor hedge without ears.

     Na reys gara anvor goth ragan vor noweth.
     Do not leave the way old for the way new.

     Guel gw gwetha vel goofen.
     Better keep than ask.――This is spoken of a wariness and
       precaution concerning lending.

     Grova da rag, tha hannen te yn gurd.
     Do good, for thyself thou dost it.

4. Significancy of the Tongue. Adam gave names to the creatures,
according to their natures; but the people of this land, having no
better guide, have given names upon long experience had, and much
observation made of the nature of things, and those do mostly appear
now as to places and families. I shall adventure upon some instances:

Lanceston, alias Dunhevet. Camden would fain have it to be Fanum
Stephani; indeed St. Stephen’s, which is a mile off, seems to be the
mother church, Lanceston the daughter church. Others would have it to
be Lancelot’s Town, one of the Champion Knights of King Arthur, but
that is further from truth. The Chief Justice Foster, talking with me
about it, would fain have Dunhevet to be the most ancient name, from
Dune a town, and Hevet above it, which there is accordingly. I told
his lordship we must fetch the derivation higher, from the Cornish
original (and not from the Saxon), and that is Leostofen, which is a
place of large extent, or a broad end, which is properly so according
to the situation thereof, at the broad end of the county, from whence
it grows towards the west still narrower, like to the point of a
wedge. I read in a good author, that Radulphus, brother to Alfius,
Duke of Cornwall, was founder of Lanceston. I think he means the
castle there, not the town.

The names of places above, and from those places downwards, have
suffered much violence along the river from Devon side, by reason of
the mutations formerly spoken of; but from thence we shall take notice
of some that have received their names antiently, passing down the
river of Tamar (and on some of the branches thereof) where, by the
way, I may say I am astonished at some of our late Geographers, who,
in enumerating the famous bridges in all this have omitted altogether
ours in Cornwall, of which, among land, other lesser, we have three
that are very eminent, one of which, Wadebridge, stands further west;
the two others, besides many smaller, are on the river of Tamar; one
Horsbridge, the other called Newbridge. But much more I wonder at
their omission among the rivers of the famous river of Tamar, a river,
after the Thames, not behind any of note in this kingdom, which I
mention the sooner, because it is most properly ours in Cornwall; for
though it be great and very navigable far up, yet it arises in and
floats only in this little county of Cornwall, and its whole course
contains within the same, and it is the boundary thereof from other
parts, wherein other streams do flow, Linnar, Fiddy, &c. and before it
falls into the Estuarium, where it gives entertainment from Devon on
the other side to Tavy, Plym, Yeom, and others, where they all lose
their names in Tamar. And I do much more wonder that it should be
printed by some others, that this famous river should fall into the
sea near the Land’s End, whereas this alone possesses the whole
honourable harbour of Plymouth (more than sixty miles distant from the
Land’s End), and stands appropriated to the interest of Cornwall,
belonging to the Duke thereof, the Prince of Wales. And to return to
what I said last, in coming down from this broad end of the county to
that famous harbour, though our next bordering neighbour Devonshire
and the saints, have stolen away from us many of the antient British
names, and intruded upon us many strange ones, yet some left us here
and there of the antient speech all along, upon the river and the
branches thereof, which I am obliged to memorize.

Lawhit, in Glamorganshire, is said to be Fanum Iltuti, to which the
Ton being added in Cornish, makes it up. Iltutus was an ancient
British Monk in King Arthur’s time. Landue may be the church or chapel
of St. David, though Landuan in Cornish is the black church or chapel.
And for Lezant, that is the holy saint, meaning St. Michael, to whom
that church was dedicated.

As Cargreene, which is a rock in the gravel standing in a green place.
Carbeele or Carbilly, a rock mentulæ formæ. Carkeele of the same
signification.

Landulph, where St. Dulpho is memorized by the church’s name, and the
well there so called St. Dulpho’s well. Halton, i. e. Haelton, a green
place near the water.

Pillaton, a round or clue by a green.

Larrake I did formerly suppose to have been from Laun or Lun, which is
usually set for a church or chapel; but on better consideration I
think otherwise of it now, because I find several other places
hereabouts written Larrake, which have no reference to church; and
because the manor antiently was written and called Larrake, which is
antienter than the church, and it signifies a place of content in
Cornish.[28]

Blerrake I take to be of the same signification too; a little from
which latter place, if content may be had from a prospect, it is there
in my opinion. A place formerly called Ballahow, now the fairest and
amplest I know any where, excepting such as are dignified by the sight
of a metropolis, or such places of eminency, though it stands not on a
promontory, and but a little from the sea in a plain, though but a
rough one, and from it you may look directly into the sea, as far as
human eye-sight can enable you.

Towards the sea-shore on the one side, you have in eye the Start in
Devon, and westward the Lizard, for your boundaries. Towards the land
northward, the wild moors of Devon, called the East Moors, and the
other side the West Moors in Cornwall. Between those you may observe
the vale countries of both, two rich valleys, one in Devon side, and
the other in Cornwall, and take the sight of Tamar as their
boundaries, and you will wonder, looking at it from above, to know how
to think that river should find a way through those countries to the
sea, especially if you consider that you seldom see water in those
tracts of land by which it passes, yet you see also as it passes
Plymouth the royal citadel, Plymton, Millbrooke, and abundance of
small villages and boroughs in a country on each side pleasant, and
the whole prospect not obscured by hills, or any thing else by which
you may be hindered from the sun in any part of the day; besides this
overlooks the Eddy-rock or stone, a dreadful place about a league out
in the sea, where many hundred of ships have been wrecked, being in
the trade way to the harbour from the west; yet I have heard some
antient skilful mariners to aver, that if a good artist should go
about to strike on this rock purposely, he would not be able to do it,
so far doth chance go beyond art.

Cuttenbrake is a concealed head, and E. Trematon, a place on three
hills.

Inesworth, which is Ineswartha, the island above, or the higher
island, in respect to the situation of the island of St. Nicholas
below, where the saint hath gotten the mastery again.

Ints or Ince, which is a proper name for an island, though this be
joined, as Insworth is, by a short neck to other parts of the parish
of St. Stephen’s. Here passing, we come by the mouth of the river to
Pembernose, which is in Cornish the head of the night, or midnight, as
if it were said that there is safe coming in there at any time; and
from thence we pass to the uttermost point westward, called Penlee,
which is the headland to the leeward; and so sailing along by the sea
side to the two Gayers, the East and West Gayers near Ramehead, which
may give nomination to families of that name in the west, which are
now worn out there, and have had a good recruit in Plymouth, and from
thence a better in London, by a late Lord Mayor, there so called, but
taking his descent from Cornish original, according to the word.

Rame is a long ridge of rocks, and here called Ramehead, because it is
so formed towards the sea like a ram’s horn, which hath turnings in it
to put mariners in mind thereof: in Cornish Pendenhar. Sailing along
from thence by the sea side, we come to Millan Dreth, that is, a mill
on the sea sand at Loo,[29] or Lough, which is a common name with most
nations for a low or watery place, and so Port-Loo, and Port-pinnion,
the little port, nigh to which also is Denloe, or Delough; and
stepping a little from thence in the land, is Minhinnitt, which is a
hill on a highway, and so indeed it is rightly styled; and the well of
St. Lollo, and the foot of Liskeard. Near to it is Liskeard (a near
neighbour thereto), some say a place affected; others take it from the
Cornish word Leskeveres, like length, like breadth, a square, so it
anciently was, and so fortified, as the castle walls yet in part
remaining show. Some would not have us go so far back, but would have
us take it from a physician so named, and a miracle supposed to be
wrought by him there, and this may be right also; but then we must
suppose that to be St. Luke the physician, and some ground there is
for that also, for the most antient street thereof is to this day
called St. Luke’s street. Luke’s Day also is their day of feasting,
and for choice of their Governor. This agrees well enough with the
former as the fortification of it; and towards the sea again we come
to Lestwithiel. Some hold that to be lion’s tail or lion’s train;
others take it to be ‘enough together.’ The place, though now grown
much in decay, hath formerly been held the only shire town, and where
the Knights of the Shire have been still chosen, and the Convocation
of the Stanneries held, &c. A great hall was lately there, which was
used for those purposes in my knowledge, belonging to the Dukes of
Cornwall, who did the like when under them; and here also they kept
their court and residence, near to which stands yet their castle
Restormell, in Cornish a bellyfull of money, a place of honey; besides
which the Dukes had seven others, Liskeard, Tintagell, Lanceston, and
Trematon, which is in Cornish three hills on a green top, though that
came to the Crown by attainder. As for the river Vz or Vzell, which
some speak of, I suppose is a mistake; the river there is the river of
Fowey, in Cornish Foath, which hath its head spring in the moors above
it, Venton Foath, in English called Foycombwell and Aqua de Fowey. As
it comes further down near Foath, is a town or place called
Tywardreth, in Cornish, a town on the sand, or above the sand, which
agrees well with its situation, where heretofore there stood a priory,
the buildings whereof are now decayed. I may not forget as next to
Foath the town of Polruan, which is now a small village of fishing,
but heretofore famous, standing on the top of an ancient hill, where
are the ruins of a spacious fair church, called yet by the name of St.
Saviour’s, Polruan is in Cornish, a frosty bottom, or frosty pool,
this being seated over against Foath; between those two towns
heretofore there went athwart the river a chain of iron from a small
castle on each side, for their security against foreigners by sea, but
by their neglect of preserving it in time of peace, was stolen away
from them by some boats that came from Dartmouth in Devon, and carried
there, where the river is of equal breadth, and the harbour is much
like that of Fowey, and hath over against the town of Dartmouth a
little town called King’s Way, which answers to Polruan against Fowey.
The Fowey men have attempted the restitution of their chain, but never
could obtain it, because they had been so careless, it being the means
of their own preservation formerly. Between these two neighbouring
towns of Fowey and Polruan, standing one against the other, in the
harbour between them, there used to be antiently a solemn contention
of justing performed upon the river every May-day, upon two boats
singled out of equal strength, from the one side and from the other,
to encounter each other upon the water, there being a stage made on
each of them, upon the end of the boat, for the several champions to
stand on. Several boats were to row with six oars a-piece, rowing
fiercely against one another. The champions were arrayed only in
white, slightly but better armed about the breast and neck, and
holding a lance rebated in the form of an oar (according to their
trade); but a fierce attempt they make upon each other, and one or
both of them is usually carried by the push to sound the depth of the
harbour, and then a new supply of others for fresh encounter is called
for again.

This I have seen to be performed in my time, and it usually drew
abundance of people together to behold the sport from the hills on
both sides, and from the town, with many others, with boats likewise
upon the river, and not without need, to receive up and recover their
dejected champions, who end their encounters in peace, not without
liquor, the element of their contention.

Mevagissy, or Mevagissey, a hill to keep mares in.

Penwarn, a head beloved.

Bodrigan, a hill by the ebbing of the sea.

Dudman or Gubman, a place where much ore is cast in.

This spot of land called Bodrigan, a spacious fair barton looking
towards the sea, was not very long since possessed by gentry of the
same name, whose estate was great; and being forfeited to King Henry
the Seventh, part thereof was given to Trevanion, a noble family of
this county; but this Bodrigan, with many other lands, to Edgcombe,
that Sir Richard Edgcombe, of whom let me deliver my judgment, that he
was a witty, valiant, wise, good man, and a good commonwealth’s man.
Witty, as appears by his hiding himself and throwing his cap and coat
away for his preservation, O quantum est subditis casibus ingenium.
Valiant, in that he was made a Knight Banneret at Bosworth field.
Wise, in that he was made choice of for one of the Commissioners for
the happy treaty of marriage of Margaret, the King’s eldest daughter,
with James the Fourth, King of Scots, a happiness to the kingdom at
this day. A good man, and not a pilferer of the people (as many were
in those days); otherwise he would be named in Perkin Warbeck’s
Declaration, set down by Chancellor Bacon. A good commonwealth’s man,
as appears by that stately and costly fabric of Newbridge built by
him.

Peale, a spire, lies to the north of Tolpenwith a mile, and it is the
true Land’s-end. This spire, called the Pele, stood on a little
island; between it and the shore there is room for a boat to pass with
oars; the spire was ten fathom or more above the ordinary flux of the
sea, very narrow on the top, hardly room for a man to sit on it; in
the floor it was and is fourteen feet square. In the year before King
Charles the First was beheaded, it was prodigiously cut off in the
floor by a storm, and falling broke in three pieces.

Herles, truly interpreted Hercules’ Pillars, are a ridge of rocks a
quarter of a mile in length, standing like pillars divided into small
islands, and distant from the Pele a mile. From these by the north
coast we come to St. Ives, in Cornish Port Eer of Geer, a port with a
pool. Paddestow, so called by Saxon Angles, being Patherickstow.
Another place near by, called Little Petherick, which partakes not of
the Cornish at all; for in the Cornish it is Lethanneck, a place of
much sea-sand, which agrees well with the site, much sea and much sand
there is driven. A little above which is the house of Edmund Prideaux,
esq. my kinsman, now called Place, formerly Guarandre, or Warthantre,
i. e. above the town or above the sand; but that we may do right to
latter times also, we find much mention to be made also of
Patrickstow, and that St. Patrick, after much time spent in Ireland,
and endowments of learning by long study were obtained, he came into
Cornwall, and built a monastery there not far from the river of
Severn, which comes home to that which is said by Archbishop Usher, as
also to the name of the place. Locus ubi Petrocus consedit in
Cornubia, Petrocstow, hodie Padstow nominatur, prius Laffeneck. Antiq.
p. 292; and after thirty years went to Rome, &c. By other authors it
is said, that at Bodmyn his body was buried but stolen from thence,
and carried by one Martinus to the abbey of Menevy or Mein, in Little
Britany; but upon complaint to the king it was restored, and brought
back undiminished to the Prior of Bodmyn. b. §. p. 293. But whether
this were to be understood of St. Patrick, the apostle of Ireland, it
is altogether to be doubted, since as to the burial of his body there
hath been so much contention that that should be at Glastonbury; but
another Patrick there was, perhaps a third, and one of note too,
stiled Sænor Sæenex Patricius, as appears by the learned primate. He
is said to be at the same time, and that he was Domesticus Sancti
Patricii. Another there was also at some hundred years distance. With
one of these it may better accord than with the great Patricius, who
it may be said, had his name Dignitatis causa, as was usual with the
Romans and Athenians, his parental name being Moun or Muun.

The town of Stratton, in Cornish Straneton, a green dispersed with
houses. Near this town is the place where the Cornish forces, on
behalf of King Charles the Second, obtained the glorious victory over
the rebellious army, anno 1643. In memory of which battle Sir Ralph
Hopton was created Baron of Stratton, who afterwards dying without
issue, the same title was conferred upon Sir John Berkley, both which
lords were commanders in the Cornish army at that time.

There is a pretty vulgar fiction that Tamar, Tamara, being a
subterraneous nymph, was courted and sought after by Tavy and Tawrage,
who found her sitting under a bush at Morewinstow, the furthest part
of Cornwall in the north. They being weary in searching after her, sat
down by her and slept; she perceiving them to be fallen asleep, steals
away from them suddenly and goes directly to the south. Tavy being
first awakened, goes away silently after her, not acquainting his
co-rival therewith. Tawrage that awakened last, finding them both
gone, in haste rusheth out, and angrily runs away towards the north,
foaming and fretting all along as he goes, till he loses himself in
the Sabrina; whilst Tavy, on the Devon side, sends out some of his
small streams to visit and court her, and to observe which way the
nymph went, but she having got the start of him, leaves not of her
speed till she comes into the Sound.


ANTIQUITIES CORNUONTANIC.

_The causes of the Cornish Speech’s Decay._

1. The first and great cause of the decay of the Cornish speech was
their want of a character, which not only contributed to the decay of
the tongue, but to the vanquishing of the nation of the Britons, they
being thereby disabled upon emergent occasions to write or communicate
with one another against their invaders, and so “dum pugnabant singuli
vincuntur universi,” as Tacitus says; and he also observes, “non aliud
adversus validissimas gentes pro Romanis utilius quàm quod in commune
non consulebant.”

What would have become of the Roman tongue, when the Goths and Vandals
broke in upon Rome and all Italy, mixing the Roman tongue with their
Runa-Gothica, if there had not been learned men (amounting to 160
elegant classical authors in Augustus his time) who preserved the
tongue in their works?

I know it hath been and yet is the judgment of learned men, that the
old Britons never had any character, yet I hope they will give me the
liberty of declaring the reasons of my dissenting. I. It hath always
been supposed that Ireland had a character; now Ireland was always
accounted a British Island, however; yet I cannot positively affirm
that the character which the Bishop of Tuam sets forth as British be
really so, there seeming to be little difference between that and the
old Saxon; neither can I consent to what he saith, that the Saxons,
whom he calls their neighbours, learned their very characters from
Ireland.

2. Though we may depend on Cæsar’s[30] authority, that Druidum
doctrina non fuit literis mandata, sed memoriæ fuit, ne aut in vulgus
proficiscentur, aut juventus qui eam perdiscebant negligentia aut in
curia remitterent, which reasons, in my judgment, rather demonstrate
that they had a character to communicate their doctrines by, if they
had pleased to use it. II. The great use made of the Roman tongue, the
laws of their conquest extending to letters and speech, as well as to
territory; and where there is a delight, there are things best
retained. Romanam Linguam Britanni non abnuebant, ut eloquentiam
concupisserent. Tacit.

     Fertur habere meos, si vera est fama, libellos
       Inter delicias pulchra Vienna suas.
     Dicitur et nostros cantare Britannia versus.
                                                  Martial.[31]

Afri, Galli, Hispani avido arripuerunt et inducto novo paulatim
oblituerunt veterum sermonem. Lips.

III. The great loss of Armorica, near unto us, by friendship, by
cognition, by interest, by correspondence. Cornwall has received
princes from thence, and they from us. We had heretofore mutual
interchanges of private families, but as to our speech we are alike
careless. We can understand words of one another, but have not the
benefit of conferences with one another in our ancient tongue. I have
met with some Friars born and bred there, who, one would think, should
be able to discourse of their own pristine tongue, and of their own
birthplaces, yet found them, though not totally ignorant that such
things had been, yet insensible and careless of their former
condition. They could tell me that my name Scawen, was in their tongue
Elders, as here it is; that there are those that bear the same name,
and one of them a bishop; but when he writ it he changed it to
Sambucus, shewing thereby a mind declared to a new, rather than an
inclination to his old name, and relation to his country speech.

IV. But, least the tender lamentations of those losses should be
thought to put us out of memory of the loss of our tongue, the matter
which we have in hand, we are here to mention a fourth cause, and that
which most concerns this Peninsula of Cornwall, which is the giving
over of the Guirremears,[32] which were used at the great conventions
of the people, at which they had famous interludes celebrated with
great preparations, and not without shews of devotion[33] in them,
solemnized in open and spacious downs of great capacity, encompassed
about with earthen banks, and in some part stone work of largeness to
contain thousands, the shapes of which remain in many places at this
day, though the use of them long since gone. These were frequently
used in most parts of the county, at the conveniency of the people,
for their meeting together, in which they represented, by grave
actings, scriptural histories, personating patriarchs, princes, and
other persons; and with great oratory pronounced their harangue,
framed by art, and composed with heroic stile, such as have been known
to be of old in other nations, as Gualterius,[34] an ancient father,
hath been mentioned to be. This was a great means to keep in use the
tongue with delight and admiration, and it continued also friendship
and good correspondency in the people. They had recitations in them
poetical and divine, one of which I may suppose this small relique of
antiquity to be, in which the passion of our Saviour, and his
resurrection, is described. They had also their Carols at several
times, especially at Christmas, which they solemnly sung, and
sometimes used, as I have heard, in their churches after prayers, the
burden of which songs, “Nowell, Nowell, good news, good news of the
Gospel,” by which means they kept the use of the tongue the better.

V. I cannot find that the British have boasted of many miracles done
among them; if any such antiently there were, they were deprived of
the memory of them by the Romans. I cannot affirm with so much reason
(as some of our neighbours have done with confidence) who say, that at
the last digging on the Haw for the foundation of the citadel of
Plymouth, the great jaws and teeth therein found, were those of
Gogmagog, who was there said to be thrown down by Corineus, whom some
will have to be the founder of the Cornish;[35] nor am I able to
assert, that some great instruments of war in brass, and huge limbs
and portraitures of persons long ago, as some say that have been in
some of the western parishes, were parts of giants, or other great
men, who had formerly had their being there. But we may rather think
those to be imaginary things or devices of old bards said to be there,
though we have no certain memory of them neither. Nor may we think it
strange that such things may be spoken of, since we may well credit
some good historians, that write that Alexander, after that he had
returned from his journey to India, caused a great representation to
be made on the ground on the western side of the river Indus, of a
huge campaign almost immeasurable, with tents, cabins, and platforms,
and arms also, for horses, racks, and mangers, of such height as were
not to be reached at; and that there were also scattered about the
ground bits and bridles for horses, of extraordinary length and
bigness, and that all this “ut de magnis majora loquantur,” and to
make men think upon him and his miraculous acts with the more
admiration.

VI. The sixth cause is, the loss of the ancient records, not of the
Duchy or the Earldom of Cornwall, (which some affirm were burnt, and
others lost in the ancient ruins of the castles of Rostormell, and
other such,) but of those of whole Cornwall, whilst one of the four
dynasties of this island, (or, as Pancirollus,) one of the five.

VII. The seventh cause is desuetude, or want of a continued use; and
it is no wonder, if, after so many losses, the true use of the tongue
vanished away or grew not into contempt. Speeches are compounded of
words, and both of them of one nature, and continued according to
their use, and of one of them it may be said as of the other

     Multa recensentur quæ nunc cecidere, cadentque
     Quæ nunc sunt in honore vocabula, si volet usus.

     Words many and tongues we recount,
     Which being fallen do oft remount,
     And those that are now priz’d by us,
     May fall to ground for want of use.

VIII. A general stupidity may be observed to be in the whole county.
As to other matters monumental, there is little mention made of our
antient stately fabrics amongst us, now ruinated; as to the founders
of them, castles, battles fought, and other things: and as to churches
(though we have abundance of fair ones for so small a county, where
there is no city nor any great town in it) excellent foundations, but
who the builders were we have no intelligence, only a great many false
tutelaries of them we hear of. Little of the monasteries hath been
said by those that have written copiously of others elsewhere.
Scarcely anything of the ancient bishops here, or of the bishop’s see;
only we know it to be said antiently, that it was removed from Bodmyn
to St. German’s,[36] and that it was about anno 1000, Danorum turbine,
from a country more open, to a place more woodland. The cathedral
indeed might have been better memorized by Godwin in his Catalogue of
Bishops, and enumeration of all the bishopricks; yet little is said of
it or the four several chapels in several distinct places of the
parish thereto belonging; and as for the monastery nothing at all. It
is strange too that Mr. Camden should say, “Germani viculum nihil
aliud est hodie, quam piscatorum casulæ:” whereas, there are no such
things belonging to such a trade there seen, but instead thereof a
cathedral, maintained at the great cost of the inhabitants, (though a
great part, by an accident, about one hundred years since fell down,)
a good monastical house yet undemolished, and hospitably inhabited, to
the relief of poor people. The bishop’s seat and house are yet
eminently extant in a Cornish name. The borough of St. German’s enjoys
still the privilege of sending burgesses to Parliament by
prescription. Pity it is that St. German, who came hither to suppress
the Pelagian heresy, should have so bad a going off; for an old fable
remains yet in report, that St. German being ill used fled away,
leaving a sad curse behind him, to the cliffs at Rame near the head;
where bewailing his misfortunes, the compassionating rocks in the
cliffs shed tears with him, at a place ever since called St. German’s
Well. True it is, such a spring there is, but the occasion of it
cannot be more truly affirmed than the other part of the story that
follows, viz. That he should be carried thence into remote countries
by angels in a fiery chariot, the tract of whose wheels were said to
be seen in those cliffs, but they are invisible. Thus much for the
site of the place. As to the person of St. German, who perhaps never
saw the place, I need not turn over old fabulous legends, nor a better
sort who have written his life heretofore, but I may have liberty to
relate what I have from the better hands of learned persons.[37] That
besides his disputation and confutation of Pelagius at Verulam, and
thereby freeing the church and nation from those heresies by a public
edict from the Emperor Valentinian, whereby they were no more troubled
with them afterwards, he the said St. German did other great works for
this land, viz. 1st. the institution of schools of learning among the
Britons; Dubritius and Iltutus being both of them his disciples.
Dubritius was made Archbishop of Carlehon; Iltutus sent to Lan Iltut,
a church bearing his name to this day; and one Daniell, made Bishop of
Bangor; from these famous men the monastery of Bangor, and other
monasteries in this land, were so well furnished with learned men, at
the coming in of St. Austin from the Pope, they stood upon discreet
and honourable terms.

2. The introduction of the Gallican Liturgy into use in the churches
of Britany, which was ever different from the Romans, and thereby a
happy means to have kept this nation from so much acquaintance with
the Pope, as they had with him afterwards, to their great trouble. It
is also said that St. Patrick, who carried over into Ireland the
education monastic, and good principles therewith, and is held to be
the Apostle of Ireland, spent many years under the discipline of St.
German, when he came hither; who, after he had been employed in the
embassy to the Emperor at Ravenna, died there one year before the
Saxons’ arrival.

All this time we are left in the dark concerning the fabric of the
Monastery of St. German’s, which could not be built till two or three
hundred years perhaps after the Saxons got a perfect dominion here
over the land, but we may believe that that and the cathedral might be
dedicated to his memory afterwards, in respect of the many good works
he had done elsewhere.

IX. As we have had an ill registry of monumental matters, so for five
or six centuries past (before the two last), I doubt we had but few
learned men here, which induces me to put that to the ninth cause of
the decay of the Cornish tongue. After the suppression of the Druids,
and that Christianity was received, yet learning decayed some while
amongst the people, the best of them being carried abroad by the
Romans and never returned; and then the supposed Saints coming in
after them, made no reparation thereof, but by their supposed
miracles, with which they entertained the people. So they had very few
learned men amongst them, places of breeding and obtaining learning
being remote, scarcely approachable, and the nation in continual
troubles and dangers; and for latter times such learned men as came to
us, seeing our own neglect of our tongue, have thought it not fit to
take the pains to inquire into it, as a thing obscure and not fit to
be studied by them, and so suffered to decay insensibly by them and
the inhabitants.

X. The Cornish tongue hath mostly resided for some ages past in the
names of the people, the gentry chiefly, and in the names of places,
observed to be significant mostly as to the site, &c. or for some
things eminent about them. Concerning both these, I must take liberty
to shew how the speech has been invaded, and eaten up by intrusion,
much of which hath been about churches and their sites, as well as by
neglectful inobservation; for those Saxon saints have hungrily eaten
up the antient names, which, when they could not well digest for
hardness of the words, many catched up others from those whom they
fieigned to be the tutelaries of those places, churches, and
fountains, and supposed miracles wrought thereabouts, as St. Kaine,
St. Gurrion, St. Tudy, St. Ive, St. Endellion, St. Kue, Landulph, St.
Ust, St. Just, St. Marthren, &c. Of St. Mardren’s Well,[38] (which is
a parish west to the Mount) a fresh true story of two persons, both of
them lame and decrepit, thus recovered from their infirmity. These two
persons, after they had applied themselves to divers physicians and
chirurgeons for cure, and finding no success by them, they resorted to
St. Mardren’s Well, and according to the ancient custom, which they
had heard of, the same which was once in a year, to wit, on Corpus
Christi evening, to lay some small offering on the altar there, and to
lie on the ground all night, drink of the water there, and in the
morning after, to take a good draught more, and to take and carry away
some of the water, each of them in a bottle, at their departure. This
course these two men followed, and within three weeks they found the
effect of it, and by degrees their strength increasing, were able to
move themselves on crutches. The year following they take the same
course again, after which they were able to go with the help of a
stick; and at length one of them, John Thomas, being a fisherman, was,
and is able at this day, to follow his fishing craft. The other, whose
name was William Cork, was a soldier under the command of my kinsman,
Colonel William Godolphin, (as he has often told me) was able to
perform his duty, and died in the service of his majesty King Charles
I. But herewith take also this: one Mr. Hutchens, a person well known
in those parts, and now lately dead, being parson of Ludgvan, a near
neighbouring parish to St. Mardren’s Well, he observing that many of
his parishioners often frequented this well superstitiously, for which
he reproved them privately, and sometimes publicly in his sermons; but
afterwards, he the said Mr. Hutchens, meeting with a woman coming from
the well with a bottle in her hand, desired her earnestly that he
might drink thereof, being then troubled with cholical pains, which
accordingly he did, and was eased of his infirmity. The latter story
is a full confutation of the former, for if the taking the water
accidentally thus prevailed upon the party to his cure, as it is
likely it did, then the miracle which was intended to be by the
ceremony of lying on the ground and offering, is wholly fled, and it
leaves the virtue of the water to be the true cause of the cure. And
we have here, as in many places of the land, great variety of salutary
springs, which have diversity of operations, which by natural reason
have been found to be productive of good effects, and not by miracle,
as the vain fancies of monks and friars have been exercised in
heretofore.

Howbeit, there are some old names yet remaining of places of prayers
or oratories, and the ruins shewing them to be such, as V. Gr.
Paderda, which is prayers good, (of which many places are so named);
Eglarose, the church in the vale, supposed antienter than the names of
their churches. Their sites are eminent and ancient, standing towards
the east, though no mention made how they came to be in decay, but
supposed to be after the Saxon churches came to be erected, and
miracles supposed to be wrought by those whose names they bear.
Churches’ sites took new names, whereas the old Cornish names remain
in all other places of the parishes generally; yet the names of the
four old castles remain, and of manors also for the most part, and
some other things in the Cornish, and do so continue the better, by
reason of men’s particular interest in them: and so are the eminent
hills likewise, especially towards the sea, and the hundred or hamlet
names of the country remain so chiefly in the western parts; those on
the eastern, standing towards the borders, have their names wrested
away by neighbourhood, as are other things by like accidents in the
eastern parts of the county; other names have been encroached upon by
fantastical or vainglorious builders calling their houses after their
own names, and others upon vain toys; but these are not many.
Moreover, concerning the loss of our speech, and the names of
families, I must here (but tenderly though) blame the incuriosity of
some of our gentry; who, forsaking the etymologies of their own
speech, have studied out new derivations of their names, endeavouring
to make themselves as it were descended from French or Norman
originals, in adopting or adapting their names thereunto; whereas,
their own names in the Cornish are more honourable, genuine, and true;
from the Conquest, forsooth, those would have their descent, (no
illustrious thing in itself) whereas the ancestry of many of them have
been here long before. How finely many have cozened themselves
thereby, might be shewn, if it would not be offensively taken, by
taking up of coat armour as from French originals. The art of heraldry
hath been drawn out to us in French terms and trickings, mostly begun
when our kings had most to do in those parts, and so from thence it
hath continued ever since; and our Cornish gentry, finding the English
so much addicted thereunto, have followed in that tract the same mode,
and would fain have themselves understood such, when they were much
better before than those French or Latin terms could make them, in
which many of the English may be blamed as well as we; for the
herald’s art hath many mysteries in it under their French and Latin
terms, and many mistakes may be thereby to us and others who are not
well acquainted with them, but in those that concern our own tongue,
it is evident many have wronged themselves, and more may do so if not
well heeded.

The grounds of two mistakes are very obvious. 1st. Upon the Tre or
Ter. 2dly. Upon the Ross or Rose. Tre or Ter in Cornish commonly
signifies a town, or rather place, and it has always an adjunct with
it. Tri is the number. 3. Those men willingly mistake one for another;
and so in French heraldry terms, they use to fancy and contrive those
with any such three things as may be like or cohere with, or may be
adapted to any thing or things in their surnames; whether very
handsome or not, is not much stood upon. Another usual mistake is upon
Ross, which, as they seem to fancy, should be a rose; but Ross in
Cornish is a vale or valley. Now for this their French-Latin tutors,
when they go into the field of Mars, put them in their coat armour
prettily to smell out a rose or flower (a fading honour instead of a
durable one); so any three such things, agreeable perhaps a little to
their names, are taken up and retained from abroad, when their own at
home have a much bttter scent and more lasting.

Some, however, amongst us, have kept themselves better to the
antiquities of their Cornish names in their coat armour, as that
honourable family Godolphin,[39] in keeping still displayed abroad his
white eagle, from the Cornish Gothulgon. Richard, king of the Romans,
Emperor elect, supplied his Cornish border with silver (perhaps tin)
plates, deducing them from the antient earls of Cornwall, as borne by
them before the Norman Conquest, and, in honour to them and himself,
still bearing the same afterwards. Chiverton, whose name in Cornish is
a house on a green place or hill, he beareth a coat thereunto
accordant, a castle with a green field under it; which may be well
thought on as to the name in[40] Cornish, though, in the heraldry it
had been more complete. V. a castle A. as I apprehend; Scaberius,
which is sweepers or sweeping, A. 3 broom besoms V.; Gavergan, a goat;
Keverel, a he-goat, or he-goats; that creature taking most delight, as
it is observed, in the cliffs thereabout. These are better
significations taken from home, than the other that are foreign; and
yet the assumption of a coat from any particular act of a man’s own,
is better than such as have reference barely to names, without some
special signification therewith.

I had thoughts formerly, and made preparation to give many more
instances, where many amongst us have been mistaken in those two
particulars; but since it is a hard thing to convince men of old
errors, and a harder to make a question against any concerning their
gentelicions and the old forms thereof, though intended more for their
honour, I shall forbear the further prosecution thereof; but in this,
however, I shall do them right, that they, i. e. their ancestors, in
this way thus trodden, have walked generally as antiently as any
other gentry of this nation, and to my seeming, it had been better if
they had stood still _super vias antiquas avorum suorum_, since most
of those ancient families who have strayed abroad as aforesaid, have
yet some of them, and many more had, lands and places of their own
names in their possession long enjoyed; and a nearer passage it had
been to their journey’s end, viz. their honour, if they had not
adventured abroad: a testimony whereof we have in that great
contention which happened in the time of King Edward III. between
Carminow of this county (a family to which most of the ancient gentry
here have relation) and a great person[41] of the nation, for bearing
of one and the same coat armour, Azure, a bend Or. After many heats
about it, a reference was made of it by the king to the most eminent
Knights of that time, of which John of Gaunt, King of Castille, was
one, before whom Carminow proved his right by the continual bearing
thereof, and that before the Conquest, which was not disapproved nor
disallowed, but applauded: yet, because the other contendant was a
baron of the realm, Carminow was adjudged to bear the same coat still,
but a file in chief for distinction sake. The decision was no way
dishonourable, and the remembrance of the contention continued to the
glory of his posterity, to which his motto in Cornish seems to have an
allusion――in English, “A Straw for Whifflers or Dissemblers;” or as
some have said to be, “A Fig Cala Rag Whetlow;” but we may take the
same better, I think, from the very name of Carminow being in Cornish
a rock immoveable, as a sign of his resolution, from thence, or
formerly taken up.

Having gone through this passage, which I know not how it may be taken
by my countrymen, let me make this observation, that since the gentry
here have thought fit, or endeavoured by mistake, to forsake the
antiquity of their Cornish names, and thereby their greatest interest,
might perhaps prognosticate that their language, which was their
ancient glory, should in revenge forsake them, as now it hath almost
done; and I shall proceed to assign some other causes of the decay
thereof.

XI. The vicinity, or near neighbourhood with Devon. I may say that
vicinity only with the Devonians, we having none else, which next to
the corruption of tongues by time and superstition to saints, hath
most devoured the names of places, especially on the borders of
Cornwall with Devon; and there is the worst language commonly spoken,
and spoken rudely too, which corrupts not only their own country
tongue but ours also, in the places that are nearest to them, and
those infect others nearest to them. The names of the places are
thereby also much altered in the Cornish, which antiently they had
generally, and the particulars that do yet appear, do stand as marks
only to shew that what were formerly had are now much eaten away, on
the borders especially. ’Tis observed also elsewhere in this county
furthest west, where the Cornish hath been most spoken, that the
English thereabouts is much better than the same is in Devon, or the
places bordering on them, by being most remote from thence from whence
the corruption proceeds.

XII. Our gentry, and others, antiently kept themselves in their
matches unmixt, commonly at home in their own country, both sons and
daughters desiring much to do so, whereby they preserved their names
here, and races the better; and when their names changed, it hath been
observed to be to the places of their abode, sometimes willingly,
sometimes by accident. So it hath continued the Cornish names to the
places, and consequently the tongue. But indeed of late our gentry
have frequently sought out foreign marriages in other counties,
whereby, though it may be confessed they have brought in much wealth,
and have goodly inheritances abroad, yet their offsprings have been
dissipated, and their affection less intire to the county, the
country-men, and country speech; yet it is to be observed, that not
many of them have been very prosperous or of long continuance in other
counties, where they cannot muster up very many of our names of
gentry, Prideaux, Trevilian, Tregonwell, Penruddock, and a few others
excepted, which shews that our Cornish are like those trees that
thrive best and live longest in their own peculiar soil and air, which
yet is fruitful and durable to those that come in amongst us. Not only
gentry, which are very many, that have great inheritance by their
matches here with Cornish families, but many others also, which seldom
leave this country when they have been planted here.

XIII. The coming-in of strangers of all sorts upon us, artificers,
traders, home-born and foreigners, whom our great commodities of tin
(more profitable to others than ourselves) and fishing, have invited
to us to converse with, and often to stay with us; these all, as they
could not easily learn our tongue, for which they could not find any
guide or direction, especially in these latter days, nor the same
generally spoken or affected amongst ourselves, so they were more apt
and ready to let loose their own tongues to be commixed with ours, and
such, for the novelty sake thereof, people were more ready to receive
than to communicate ours to any improvement to them. But ministers in
particular have much decreased the speech; this country being far from
academies, strangers from other parts of the kingdom have sought, as
they still do, and have had their promotions here, where benefices are
observed to be very good, and those have left their progenies, and
thereby their names, remaining behind them, whereby the Cornish names
have been diminished, as the tongue also: so that, as the reputed
saints heretofore where they seated themselves, have robbed the places
where their churches now stand for the most part of the Cornish names
they had before, so the ministers since those times coming from other
places, and other strangers, have filled up in many places the
inhabitants and places here with their new names and titles brought
amongst us, to the loss of many of the old. Here too we may add what
wrong another sort of strangers have done to us, especially in the
civil wars, and in particular by destroying of Mincamber, a famous
monument, being a rock of infinite weight, which, as a burden, was
laid upon other great stones, and yet so equally thereon poised up by
nature only, as a little child could instantly move it, but no one man
or many remove it. This natural monument all travellers that came that
way desired to behold; but in the time of Oliver’s usurpation, when
all monumental things became despicable, one Shrubsall, one of
Oliver’s heroes, then governor of Pendennes, by labour and much ado
caused to be undermined and thrown down, to the great grief of the
country, but to his own great glory as he thought, doing it as he
said, with a small cane in his hand. I myself have heard him to boast
of this act, being a prisoner then under him.

XIV. Another cause I shall mention as a great loss of the tongue,
though it be a great and wonderful advantage to the people otherwise:
the orders of the church and state, commanding all the people young to
learn the Lord’s Prayer, Belief, &c. in the vulgar tongue, supposing
that to be intended the English, if a mother, surely a stepmother to
us. Younglings take in that most, and retain longest, wherewith they
are seasoned and bred up in their education.

Herein we must complain also of another new neglect to our speech,
that the like care was not taken for us as for our brethren in Wales,
in the making of the late act of Parliament for the uniformity of the
Common Prayer, by which the five Bishops for Wales were commanded to
see the Service Book to be printed in the Welch tongue. If it had been
so here it had been a good counterpoise for the loss formerly
mentioned concerning the young people; this might also perhaps have
saved us some labour in this our undertaking, and it would have been
of good use for some of our[42] old folks also, for we have some among
these few that do speak Cornish, who do not understand a word of
English, as well as those in Wales, and those may be many in some of
the western parts, to whom Mr. Francis Robinson, parson of
Landawednack told me, he had preached a sermon not long since in the
Cornish tongue, only well understood by his auditory. This should have
been taken into consideration by our gentlemen burgesses in that and
other Parliaments, and by our bishops also; but better it had been if
our ancient bishops when they fled hither from their invaders, had
brought with them a character of their ancient speech, or left books
written therein; or, in defect thereof, they or any other had done for
us as Ulphius the bishop did for the Goths when they came to be seated
in Italy, who there invented new Gothic letters for his people, and
translated the Holy Scriptures into that language for them. This
indeed had deserved our greatest thanks from our bishops, as no doubt
they had them from those persons who received so great a benefit by
their former and latter kindness therein; nor let that good old bishop
Ulphius be censured (as he seems to be) for doing a superfluous work,
because he might perhaps know that the then service of the church was
celebrated in the Greek and Latin tongues, but rather let him be
commended for his zeal in religion, and his love to his country and to
his country people then with him, dwelling with strangers in another
land, that continued so mindful of them and their speech, as we have
been neglectful of ours. He by that means continued that tongue in
use; we by his example might have regained ours, if the like care had
been taken; but our people, as I have heard, in Queen Elizabeth’s
time, desired that the Common Liturgy should be in the English tongue,
to which they were then for novelty’s sake affected, not out of true
judgment desired it. But, besides negligence, fatality is to be
considered; fatality is a boundary beyond which nothing can pass; it
hath been eminent in kingdoms and states, and those have had commonly
fatal periods, as to a time determined five hundred years commonly.
But more usual it is, that upon such mutations of kingdoms there have
happened losses and mutations of tongues; it may therefore be the more
wondered at, that this of the British, being none of the learned
tongues to which the Lord had intrusted the writing of his Sacred
Scriptures, should have here lasted so long through so many mutations,
and that there is yet such a record thereof, as our old manuscript
imports, with the purity of the doctrine therein contained, and some
other small things in the Bodleian Library.

XV. The little or no help, rather discouragement, which the gentry and
other people of our own have given in these latter days, who have
lived in those parts where the tongue hath been in some use. In the
time of the late unhappy civil war, we began to make some use of it
upon the runnagates that went from us to the contrary part from our
opposite works, and more we should have done if the enemy had not been
jealous of them, and prevented us. This may be fit to be improved into
somewhat, if the like occasion happen, for it may be talked freely and
aloud to advantage, to which no other tongue hath reference. The
poorest sort at this day, when they speak it as they come abroad, are
laughed at by the rich that understand it not, which is by their own
fault in not endeavouring after it.

XVI. The want of writing it is the great cause of its decay; for,
though there wanted a proper character for it, yet we might have
written it in the character now in use, but I never saw a letter
written in it from one gentleman to another, or by any scholar; which
is to be wondered at, and blamed as a thing unbecoming such as ought
to be studious in every thing that is ancient: but since I began to
set about this work, I prevailed upon those that translated it to
write me several letters, which they at first found very hard to be
done; but after some practice it seemed easier.

Here I cannot but lament the want of such persons, books, records and
papers, which were late in being, and not now to be had, and my
misfortune in not having translated them, that most unhappily escaped
me; one was the manuscript of Anguin, who had translated out of
Cornish into English ―――― his relations, after his decease, (having suits
before me as Vice-Warden of the Stanneries for tin bounds) promised me
the favour of those translations, but before their return to their
houses, their people tearing all about for their controverted goods,
had torn to pieces all those papers. In another place I was promised
the sight of a Cornish Accidence; but that by another such-like
accident was totally spoiled by children before it could be brought
me. I have heard also that a Matins in Cornish was amongst the books
of Dr. Joseph Maynard, but I could never attain to it. But besides the
no helps by which I lie in this labyrinth, I have likewise had
discouragements amongst ourselves at home. I have been often told
that, besides the difficulty of the attempt, it would be thought
ridiculous for one to go about the restoring of that tongue which he
himself could not speak nor understand truly when spoken, to which I
have made answer with these two following instances: one is of a
countryman of ours, Langford by name; who being blind was yet able to
teach others the noble science of defence, only he desired to know
still the length of the weapon of his fellow combatant, with a guess
of his posture, and this he practised with good success. The other is
of one Grizling, of whom Mr. Camden says, that he being deaf could see
words; that is, that notwithstanding his deafness he could answer any
man’s question that set at table with him by the motion of his lips.
This man I have seen also, and he would complain of such men as in
those days wore great munchadoes, as they then called them, i. e.
nourishing of much hair, by which he was hindered somewhat of the
observation of their lips.

I may place these two men, one blind, the other deaf, for these
qualities among the observable things of the county, knowing them to
be true,――if the mentioning these examples in their comparison do not
excuse me from being laughed at by those men that have censured me for
my attempt.

VI.

WILLIAM OF WORCESTER’S ITINERARY.


As no account of William of Worcester is to be found in the common
Biographical Dictionaries and Encyclopedias, it has been thought
proper to prefix a short notice of his life and character to the
following extract from his Itinerary:

William was the son of William of Worcester, and of Elizabeth, the
daughter of Thomas Bottoner. His surname he took indifferently from
either; and he is consequently sometimes denominated William
Worcester, and William Bottoner. Bishop Tanner describes him as
descended of a knightly family, but upon what evidence is not known;
yet from certain passages in the Itinerary his father would seem to
have been a substantial householder.

He was born in the parish of St. James at Bristol in the year 1415;
and as he speaks of a stone vault in that city as having been built in
1428, at his own expense, it is probable that he lost his father, and
came to his inheritance at a very early age. Of his childhood nothing
is known; but there is some reason to suppose that he was taught the
rudiments of learning by Robert Lane, whom he has commemorated as a
very eminent schoolmaster at Bristol when he was a youth. In 1432 he
first went to Oxford, where he was admitted of Hart Hall, now Baliol
College.

It is said, that he was supported at the University by the celebrated
Sir John Fastolf; the same who, in his own day, had great renown for
his valour and munificence, and who was afterwards exposed to
dishonour by Shakspere, with a trifling variation of his name, and a
considerable distortion of his character. But it may be presumed that
Worcester was indebted not so much to his bounty as to his protection;
for if we may judge of Worcester’s patrimony from the few notices he
has given us of his father’s property in Bristol, it is not likely
that his own means would have been inadequate to the small expense of
a collegiate course in those simple times; and we may therefore
believe, that the connection which subsisted between Worcester and
Fastolf, was merely a compliance with the general custom of the age,
when youths of gentlemanly birth and competent fortune sought the
patronage and entered the household of wealthy and powerful men. But,
however this might have been, it is certain that he afterwards lived
with Sir John at Caister, in Norfolk, where he acted as the knight’s
secretary and confidential friend, and subsequently as one of his
executors.

At Oxford Worcester prosecuted his studies with great diligence and
success; and we are informed that he became eminent for his knowledge
of history, medicine, and astronomy. On these subjects he is said to
have written many books: yet it is likely that they were rather
extracts and memorandums, than original and formal compositions.
Besides these, he executed some translations from the classics; and we
learn from his Itinerary, that on the tenth of August 1473, he
presented the Bishop of Winchester with a translation of Cicero on Old
Age. He tells us, however, that this gift was not sufficient to
conciliate the good prelate’s regard; but he seems to insinuate, that
the failure was owing less to the faults of the performance, than to
the intervention of an enemy. Yet, whatever he might have suffered
from the malice of his neighbours, it is possible, that the offering
itself was considered of small value; and it might have been the less
esteemed, if it be true, that the same treatise had been already
rendered into English by John Tiptoft, the accomplished and
unfortunate Earl of Worcester.

But it is on very slender evidence that this nobleman is said to have
translated Cicero on Old Age. He had left in manuscript a translation
of Cicero on Friendship; and when Caxton printed it, many years after
his death, with an anonymous version of the essay on Old Age, in the
same volume, he was at once supposed to have been the author of both;
but the translation, thus published without a name, was professedly
executed in honour of Sir John Fastolf, the friend and patron of
William of Worcester; and as it is well known that many of his
dependant’s literary performances were undertaken expressly for his
sake, and, as at the same time William of Worcester might have been
easily confounded with the Earl of Worcester, there is considerable
probability that William, and not the Earl, was the author of the
translation in question, and consequently William could not have
suffered on a comparison with him in the manner suggested. Nor is it
sufficient objection to this inference, that the productions of a
writer, whose style has been chosen as an example of the barbarous
taste of the age in which he lived, were not likely to be imputed to
one whose extraordinary attainments had won the admiration of the
polished and fastidious scholars of Italy; for whatever might have
been the Earl’s superiority in classical knowledge, it does not appear
that he had cultivated his native tongue with greater care than his
contemporaries; and William of Worcester might not have fallen below
him in the rude and unsettled English of that time.

Of William’s writings, of whatever kind, very little is now extant;
and though for a few things the credit which he deserved has been
given to others, it has been reasonably conjectured, that he has
enjoyed in return the merit of some performances of which he was not
the author; but however he might have laboured in the promotion of
learning, he loved the acquisition of it so well, that he was
accustomed to say, he found more pleasure in his books than some men
derived from their estates; and to the attainments which he had made
at the University, he added, by the help of one Giles, a Lombard, some
acquaintance with French and Poetry.

Yet study was insufficient to satisfy him without observation: τὸ
εἰδέναι δίττον ἔλεγεν εἶναι· τὸ μὲν ἐπιστήμῃ, τὸ δὲ τῇ πείρᾳ. He
consequently sought to enlarge his knowledge by travelling; and he has
been considered worthy of respect as the earliest topographer of
England, “Primum Angliæ perlustratorem ne flocci facias;” but however
this may be, he is certainly the first traveller who has left us any
memorials of a journey into Cornwall; and the interest and value which
his observations derive from this circumstance, have made them worthy
of a place in the present Appendix.

The book, in which these notices are found, is entitled _Itinerarium,
sive Liber Rerum Memorabilium Willelmi Botoner dict. de Worcester_. It
had existed in manuscript only, till the year 1778, when it was
published at Cambridge, from the original autograph in the Library of
Corpus Christi College, by James Nasmith, formerly a Fellow of that
Society. Besides this, indeed, there is another manuscript of the
journal in the same library, but it is only a copy of the former, made
by the procurement of Archbishop Parker; and as it is very incorrect,
it is of no value in itself, and could have been of little use to the
editor.

This Itinerary seems to have been a memorandum book, which the author
kept with him on his journeys, not only into this county, but to other
parts of this kingdom; and accordingly we find it stored with
desultory notices of separate facts, and distant places, and abounding
with trifling and unconnected observations, which seem to have been
associated on the same page, only as the book was accidentally opened,
and recorded rather from some present impulse, than with any settled
and ultimate design. Nothing can be more rude than the style, or more
worthless than many of the statements; and whatever might have been
the writer’s real intention, it is very certain that his remarks, in
the condition which they have actually come down to us, could not have
been meant for publication. It might have been his purpose, when
leisure and opportunity should serve, to arrange and expand the hasty
and unconnected notes thus made by the way; but the brevity of the
greater number would have insufficiently secured him against
perplexities and mistakes; and as he might have erred occasionally
through the acknowledged failure of his memory, or the unconscious
influence of his imagination, it is possible that a careful and
regular composition subsequently made, might have been less useful,
than even the confused and scanty memorandums we possess.

Worcester came into Cornwall in the year 1478. Mr. Whitaker says, that
it was in 1440. How he could have committed such a mistake, it is
difficult to conceive, as the date is expressly recorded in the
Itinerary itself. Mr. Polwhele, indeed, appears to have erred
likewise; for, according to him, William’s journey was performed in
1473; but this is evidently nothing more than a misprint. In one of
our county histories, the journey is stated to have occurred in 1460:
it is probable, however, that the writer had never seen the Itinerary.

He set out from Norwich, on Monday the 17th of August, and reached
London on the Thursday following. On the first of September he came to
Bristol, and took his departure for Cornwall on the next day. He
arrived at Launceston on Sunday the 13th, and on Monday pursued his
journey towards the west. Near Bodmin his horse fell with him, but it
does not appear that he received any injury. On Tuesday night he slept
at Polwhele; and having visited the preaching friars at Truro on
Wednesday, he came in the evening to Marazion. The next morning,
Thursday 17th of September 1478, he attended mass in the chapel on the
Mount. In the afternoon of the same day, he departed for Penryn; and
going thence to Bodmin, he returned eastward, through the towns on the
south coast. The towns and villages on the north coast of Cornwall he
did not visit; and the statements which he makes respecting them, were
merely the result of his inquiries. He seems, indeed, to have been as
diligent in seeking information from others, as in making observations
of his own; and no persons, whether smiths, ropers, or ferrymen, were
considered unfit to furnish him with the knowledge which he wanted for
his journal. Amongst those in Cornwall, from whom he learned most, was
his cousin, Robert Bracey, at Fowey; but it is likely that he depended
mainly upon the secular and regular clergy, who entertained him on the
road, and gave him access to their chronicles and registers.

With regard to the nature and purpose of this journey, from the manner
of the record itself, it would not be easy to conjecture, whether it
was undertaken with feelings of devotion or of curiosity. The coldness
of the whole narrative, and the careless brevity with which the
accomplishment of the acknowledged object is related, were scarcely
consistent with a fervid and lively devotion; and the insertion of so
many facts and observations, which must have been useless when they
were written, and now owe their value to their subsequent antiquity,
while the documents of early times, and the traditions of the people,
were almost wholly neglected, could not have happened under the
influence of an active and judicious curiosity. And besides this, when
William of Worcester was in Cornwall, it was impossible for an
intelligent visitor to overlook the state of our ecclesiastical
architecture. Many of our present churches had been recently built,
and others were then building; and some account of their style and
condition, of their founders and builders, and of the circumstances
attending their erection, would have been far more amusing to his
contemporaries than what he wrote, and of unspeakable interest in
after times. And any other man, we may suppose, would have found
something to say of the manners and habits of the people, and of their
mines and fisheries; but from William of Worcester we know only by
implication or accident, that he travelled in an inhabited country.

Yet without devotion he would not have visited the Mount, and without
curiosity he would have made no observations by the way. The shrine of
St. Michael, which had been the resort of superstitious people in
remote times, had lately recovered its ancient reputation, after an
interval of some accidental obscurity; and pilgrims were again
attracted by the privileges conferred on it in the eleventh century,
and were coming even from distant places in considerable numbers.
William of Worcester was one of these; and as his penitence had
brought him so far, it might be thought that his admiration would have
delayed his return.

But the hospitalities of a place so ‘kind to strangers,’ the natural
beauties of the Mount, and the venerable antiquity and romantic
traditions of the castle and monastery, were not enough to detain him
for a day; and with scarcely any regard to such things, he stayed but
a few hours. In that short space he could not occupy himself with many
inquiries; and we have received from him only a few bare facts, which
he appears to have recorded rather as the justification of his
pilgrimage, than with any precise knowledge of their value.

His subsequent pursuits, and the time of his death, are not known, nor
have we any account of the number and the fortunes of his children. It
is certain, however, that he was married; and he is reported to have
taken a wife in opposition to the wishes of his patron. For Sir John
Fastolf had designed for him some ecclesiastical preferment, and had
consequently advised him to obtain orders in the church. _Tanneri

Omnes isti filii et filiæ postea fuerunt sancti et martires vel
confessores, et in Devonia vel Cornubia heremeticam vitam ducentes;
sicut enim inter omnes quorum vitæ meritis et virtutum miraculis
Cornubiensis vel Devoniensis irradiatur ecclesia, beatus Nectanus
primo genitus fuit, ita cæteris omnibus honestate vitæ major fuit, et
prodigiorum choruscitate excellentior extitit.

Fuit in ultimus Walliarum partibus vir dignitate regulus, fide et
morum honestate preclarus, nomine Brokannus, a quo provincia ipsa
nomen sortita nuncupatur Brokannok usque in presentem diem; hic itaque
Brokmannus, antequam ex uxore sua Gladewysa filium vel filiam
genuisset, in Hiberniam profectus est, uxorem suam et omnia sua
relinquens; timuerat enim, ne si cum uxore sua remaneret, generacionem
ex ea procrearet, qua impediretur ne libere Domino servire potuisset.
Mansit igitur in Hibernia 24 annis, bonis operibus intendens; postea
autem visitare patriam suam volens, rediit in Walliam, ubi uxorem suam
adhuc viventem invenit. Post aliquantulum autem temporis sicut Deus
preordinaverat, licet ipse homo non proposuisset, uxorem suam
cognovit, ex qua postea 24 filios et filias genuit. Videns Dei
virtutem cui nemo resistere potest, ait, “Jam Deus in me vindicavit
quod contra disposicionem voluntatis ejus venire frustra disposui;
quia enim 24 annis ab uxore mea ne sobolem procrearem illicitè effugi,
dedit mihi pro quolibet anno illicitæ continentiæ sobolem unam quia
jam 24 filios et filias post 24 annos ab eadem uxore suscepi.”
Prædicti autem 24 filii et filiæ, quos predictus Brokannus ex uxore
sua Gladewysa genuit, hiis nominibus vocabantur, Nectanus et cætera.

Et venerandus vir Nectanus per quæque nemorosa dispendia investigando
querere ab hiis repertus latronibus in loco, qui adhuc hodie dicitur
Nova Villa; ibi jam ecclesia in ejus honore construitur. 15 kal, Julii
capite truncatus est, et caput suum propriis accipiens manibus per
medium ferme spacii stadium usque ad fontem quo morabatur detulerit,

adhuc cædis et miraculi sanguinolenta in eodem lapide remanent
vestigia.

VII.

THE ITINERARY OF JOHN LELAND, SO FAR AS RELATES TO CORNWALL.

(_Hearne’s Edition, vol. II. fol. 69._)


From Depeford to _Lanstoun_ a xij miles by hilly and much morisch
groude baren of wodde. Or ever I cam to Lanstoun by a mile I
passid over a bridge of stone, having 3 arches and a [one] smaul,
caullid New Bridge; thorough the which the ryver of Tamar
rennith, that almost from the hed of it to the mouth devidith
Devonshir from Cornewaule. This New Bridge was of the making of
the Abbates of Tavestok, and mainteinyd by them; for Tavestoke
Abbay had fair possessions thereaboute.

The Ryver of Tamar risith a 3 miles by north-est from Hertelande
and thens cummith to Tamerton, a village on the est ripe yn
Devonshire; and ther is a bridg over Tamar of stone: and from
this bridg to Padestow xx miles. Yalme Bridge of stone 2 miles
lower. New Bridge 2 miles lower. Pulstun Bridge 2 miles lower.
Greistoun Bridge a 2 miles or more lower. Tavestoke about a 4
miles from Greston Bridg; and Grestoun Bridg, being about a 3
miles from Launston, is the way from Launston to Tavestok. Hawte
Bridg. Another bridg caullid New Bridg. Caulstoke Bridg next the
se, begon by Sir Perse Eggecumbe. Lideford Bridge is not on
Tamar.

After that I had enterid a litle into the suburbe of Launstoun, I
passed over a brooke caullid Aterey, that rennith yn the botom of
the stepe hil that Launstoun stondith on. This water, as I there
lernid, riseth a x miles of by west-north-west towards Bodmyne; and,
passing by Launstoun, goith in Tamar by est, as I did gather, a litle
above Pulston Bridg. After that I had passid over Aterey, I went up by
the hille thorough the long suburbe, ontylle I cam to the toun waul
and gate, and so passid thorough the toun, conscending the hill
ontylle I cam to the very top of it, wher the marketplace and the
paroche chirch of S. Stephane, lately reedified, be. The large and
auncient Castelle of Launstun stondith on the knappe of the hill, by
south a litle from the paroche chirch. Much of this castel yet
stondith; and the _moles_ that the kepe stondith on is large and of a
terrible highth, and the _arx_ of it, having 3 severale wardes, is the
strongest but not the biggest that ever I saw in any auncient worke in
Englande. Thir is a litle pirle of water that servith the high parte
of Lanstoun.

The Priorie of Launstoun stondith in the south-west parte of the
suburbe of the toun, under the rote of the hille, by a fair wood side;
and thorowgh this wood rennith a pirle of water, cumming out of an hil
therby, and servith al the offices of the place. In the chirch I
markid 2 notable tumbes, one of Prior Horton, and another of Prior
Stephane. One also told me there, that one Mabilia, a Countes, was
buried ther in the Chapitre House. One William Warwist, Bishop of
Excestre, erected this Priorie, and was after buried at Plymtoun
Priory that he also erected. Warwist, for erection of Launston Priory,
suppressid a collegiate Chirch of S. Stephan having Prebendaries, and
gave the best part of the landes of it to Launstoun Priory, and toke
the residew hymself. There yet standith a Chirch of S. Stephan, about
half a mile from Launstoun on a hille, wher the Collegiate Chirch was.
Gawen Carow hath the custody of the Priory. There is a Chapelle by a
west-north-west a litle without Launstowne, dedicate to S. Catarine;
it is now prophanid.

From Launston to Botreaux Castelle, vulgo _Boscastel_, first a 2 miles
by enclosid ground having sum woodde and good corne. Thens an 8 miles
by morisch and hilly ground and great scarsite of wood, insomuch that
al the countery therabout brennith firres and hethe. And thens a 2
miles to Boscastel by enclosid ground metely fruteful of corne, but
exceding baren of wood, to the which the bleke northern se is not
there of nature favorable. The toun of Boscastelle lyith apon the brow
of a rokky hille by south-est, and so goith doun by lenght to the
northe toward the se, but not even ful hard to it. It is a very filthy
toun and il kept. There is a chirch in it, as I remembre of S.
Simpherian. The Lorde Botreaux was lord of this town, a man of an old
Cornish linage, and had a manor place, a thing, as far as I could ――――
of smaul reputation, as it is now, far onworthe the name of a castel.
The people ther caulle it the Courte. Ther cummith down a little broke
from south-est out of the hilles therby, and so renning by the west
side of the towne, goeth into Severn se betwixt 2 hylles, and ther
maketh a pore havenet, but of no certaine salvegarde. One of the
Hungrefordes maried with one of the heires generale of Botreaux, and
so Boscastel cam to Hungreford. Then cam Boscastelle, by an heir
generale of the Hungrefords, unto the Lord Hastinges. Hastinges Erle
of Huntendune and the late lord Hungreford had a lordship of the
Botreaux in partition, caullid _Parke_; and ther is a manor place or
castelet. It is a vi miles from Botreaux by south.

Ther is no very notable toun or building from Botreaux by
est-north-est, along apon the shore upper on Severn to Hertland point,
but _Strettoun_, and that is a xij miles from Botreaux, and ther is a
praty market. It stondith about a mile from the se. There is a place
near to Stretton caullid _Ebbingford_, but now communely _Efford_,
wher John Arundale of Trerise was borne, and hath a fair manor place,
in the which Syr John Chaumon now dwellith, that maried the mother yet
lyving of John Arundale of Trerise.

Olde Treviliane, a man of pratie land, but cumming of a younger
brother of the chife house of that name, dwellith toward Stretton, at
a place caullid ――――. Hertland Point is a x miles upper on Severn from
Strettoun.

From Botreaux to _Tredewy_ village, on the shore about a mile, and
ther cummith downe a broke rising in the gret rokky hilles therby.

From Tredewi to _Bossinny_, on the shore about a mile. This Bossinny
hath beene a bygge thing for a fischar town, and hath great privileges
grauntid onto it. A man may se there the ruines of a gret numbre of
houses. Here also cummith down a broke, and this broke and Tredewy
water resort to the se at one mouth betwyxt ij hilles, wherof that
that is on the est side, lyith out lyke an arme or cape, and maketh
the fascion of an havenet or pere, whither shippelettes sumtime
resorte for socour. A frere of late dayes toke apon hym to make an
haven at this place, but he litle prevailid theryn. There ly 2 blake
rokkes as islettes at the west-north-west point or side of this
creeke; the one, saving a gut of water, joyning to the other. And yn
these brede gulles, be al lykelihod.

From Bossinny to _Tintagel Castel_ on the shore a mile. This castelle
hath bene a marvelus strong and notable forteres, and almost _situ
loci inexpugnabile_, especially for the dungeon, that is on a great
and high terrible cragge, environid with the se; but having a
drawbridge from the residew of the castelle onto it. There is yet a
chapel standing withyn this dungeon of S. Ulette, alias Uliane. Shepe
now fede within the dungeon. The residew of the buildings of the
castel be sore wether-beten and yn ruine; but it hath beene a large
thinge. This castelle stondith in the paroche of Trevenny; and the
paroch therof is of S. Simphorian, ther caullid Simiferian.

Passing a mile from the chirch of _S. Symphorian_ by hilly and hethy
ground, I cam over a brooke that ran from south-est-north to Severn
se, and about half a mile beyound the mouth of this brook lay a great
blak rok like an islet yn the se not far from the shore.

_Porthissek_, a fisschar village, lyith about a 3 miles from the mouth
of th’afore sayd brook, lower by west on Severn shore. There resortith
a broke to Porthissek, and there is a pere and sum socour for fisschar
botes.

_Porthguin_, a fisschar village, lyith a 2 miles lower on the shore,
and there is the issue of a broke and a pere. And a 3 miles lower is
the mouth of Padestow Haven. From Dindagelle to S. Esse village a 4
miles; meately good ground about S. Esses selfe. From S. Esse to
Trelille village 2 miles. From Trelille to ―――― wher Master Carniovies,
alias Carnsey, hath a praty house, fair ground, and praty wood about
it.

Thens 3 miles by good corne grounde, but no wood, to _Wadebridge_.
Wher as now Wadebridge is, ther was a fery a 80 yeres syns, and menne
sumtyme passing over by horse, stoode often in great jeopardie.

Then one Lovebone, vicar of Wadebridge, movid with pitie, began the
bridge, and with great paine and studie, good people putting their
help thereto, finishid it with xvij fair and great uniforme arches of
stone. One told me that the fundation of certein of tharches was first
sette on so quick sandy ground that Lovebone almost despairid to
performe the bridg ontyl such tyme as he layed pakkes of wolle for
fundation.

The ryver of Alawne rennith thorough Wadebridge, evidentley seen at
lower.

The first memorable bridge on Alane is caullid Helham Bridge ―――― miles
lower then Camilforde, but Alane is almost a mile from Camilford Toun.

Dunmere Bridge of 3 arches a 2 miles lower. Here doth Alaune ryver ren
within a mile of Bodmyn.

Wadebridge a 3 miles lower by land and 4 by water. This is the lowest
bridg on Alane.

Ther cummith a broke from S. Esse 5 myles from Wadebridge, and a litle
above Wadebridge goith into Alane by the est side of the haven. This
broke risith a 2 miles above S. Esse by est-north-est. There cummith a
brooke from Mr. Carnsey’s house, and goith into Alane, by the est side
of the haven a 3 miles lower than Wadebridge: and here is a creeke at
the mouth of this brooke that ebbith and flowith up into the land.

In the way passing from Dunmere Bridge toward Bodmyn, there rennith a
praty broket thoroug a bridge of one stone arche, a very litle way
beyond Dunmer Bridge: and a litle lower goith into Alane bynethe
Dunmer Bridge by the west ripe of Alane. This litle broke servith the
milles, and rennith by the est ende of the town of Bodmyn.

There cummith a brooke into Alaune about a 2 miles byneth Dunmere
bridg on the west ripe. This brooke riseth by south-est: and at S.
Lawrence, scant a mile owt of Bodmyn, I passid over a bridge on this
water in the way to Michale.

From Wadebridge to _Padestow_, a good quick fischar toun but onclenly
kepte, a 4 miles. This toun is auncient, bering the name of Lodenek in
Cornische, and yn Englisch, after the trew and old writinges,
Adelstow, Latine _Athelstani locus_. And the toune there takith King
Adelstane for the chief gever of privileges vnto it. The paroch Chirch
of Padestow is of S ――――. There use many Britons with smaul shippes to
resorte to Padestow with commoditees of their countery and to by
fische. The toun of Padestow is ful of Irisch men. Padestow is set on
the weste side of the haven. Padestow toun is a ―――― miles from the
very haven mouth. From the mouth of Padestow Haven to S. Carantokes a
―――― miles.

From Wadebridge to Dunmere a 3 miles, and thens a mile to _Bodmyn_.
Bodmyn hath a market on every Saturday, lyke a fair for the confluence
of people. The showe and the principale of the toun of Bodmyn is from
west to est along in one streate. There is a chapel of S ―――― at the
west ende of the toune. The paroch chirch standith at the est end of
the town and is a fair large thyng. There is a cantuarie chapel at
th’est ende of it. The late Priory of Blake Chanons stoode at the est
ende of the paroch chirchyard of Bodmyne. S. Petrocus was Patrone of
this, and sumtyme dwellyd ther. There hath bene monkes, then nunnys,
then seculare prestes, then monkes agayn, and last canons regular, in
S. Petrokes chirch. Willyam Warlewist, Bishop of Excestre, erectid the
last fundation of this Priory; and had to hymself part of th’auncient
landes of Bodmyn monasterie. I saw no tumbes in the Priory very
notable, but Thomas Vivianes, late Prior ther, and Suffragane by the
title of the Bishoprike of Megarensis.[44] The Shrine and Tumbe of S.
Petrok yet stondith in th’est part of the chirche. There was a good
place of Gray Freres in the south side of Bodmyn town. One John of
London, a merchaunt, was the beginner of this house. Edmund Erle of
Cornewaul augmentid it. There lay buried in the Gray Freres Sir Hugh
and Sir Thomas Peverelle, knightes, and benefactors to the house.
There is another Chapel in Bodmyn beside that in the west ende of the
toune, and an Almose House, but not endowid with landes.

From Bodmyn to _S. Laurence_, wher a poor Hospital or Lazar House is,
about a mile. One of the Peverelles gave a litle annuitie onto this
house. Here I passid over a stone bridge, and under it rennith a praty
broke that cummith out of the hylles from south-este, and goith into
Alane a 2 miles above Padestow by the weste ripe, and by the meanes of
the se and creke it ebbith and flowith up into the creke of this
river. From S. Laurence I passed by morisch ground al baren of woodde
a vj m[iles], leving about this vj miles ende _S. Columbes_, about a 2
miles off on the right hond.

And ther about I left _Castelle an dinas_ on the same hand, a good
mile of. But I saw no building on it, but an hille bering that name.

Thens to _Michel_, a litle thorough fare, a 2. or 3. miles, by morisch
ground, all baren of wood.

Thens a 5 miles to a litle village and paroch church, callid _Alein_.
And hereabout there is very good corne.

And so a myle to _Gwernak_, Master Arundale’s house. This Arundale
gyveth no part of the armes of great Arundale of Lanheran, by S.
Columbes; but he told me that he thought that he cam of the Arundales
in Base Normandy, that were lordes of Culy Castelle, that now is
descended to one Mounseir de la Fontaine, a Frenchman, by heir
generale. This Arundale ys caullid Arundale of Trerise, by a
difference from Arundale of Lanheron. Trerise is a lordship of his, a
3 or 4 miles from Alein chirch. Arundale of Trerise had to his first
wife one of the 2 doughters and heires of Boville, alias Beville, and
Graneville had the other; and they had betwixt them litle lak of 400
markes of landes by the yere in partition.[45] The house that John
Arundale of Trerise dwellith yn was Bovilles, and this Boville gave
the Ox in Gules in his armes. There is yet one of the names of the
Beviles, a man of a c. li land purchased by the grandfather of ――――
Beville now living. This Beville hath ―――― [ed] ―――― [brother of Sir
John] Arundale of Trerise ――――.

SCYLLEY.

There be countid a 140 Islettes of Scylley, that bere gresse exceding
good pasture for catail. S. Mary isle is a 5 miles or more in cumpace;
in it is a poore toun, and a meately strong pile: but the roues
[roofs] of the buildinges in it be sore defacid and woren. The ground
of this ile berith exceeding good corn: insomuch that, if a man do but

Gulles and puffinnes be taken in diverse of these islettes, and plenty
of conyes be in diverse of these islettes. Diverse of these islettes
berith wyld garlyk. Few men be glad to inhabite these islettes, for al
the plenty, for robbers by the sea that take their catail of force.
These robbers be French men and Spaniardes. One Davers, a gentilman of
Wilshir, whos chief house is at Daundesey, and Whittington, a
gentleman of Glocestreshire, be owners of Scylley; but they have scant
40 markes by yere of rentes and commodites of it.

Scylley is a kenning, that is to say, about an xx miles from the very
westeste pointe of Cornewaulle.


Petites principal house was at _Ardeverauian_ in Falmouth Haven by the

Mr. Mohun hath a fair lordship by S. Erthe’s, caullyd ――――.

Trewinard, a gentilman dwelling at _Trewinard_ yn S. Erth paroch. _S.
Erth_, a good mile above Lenant. S. Erth bridge, a good mile from
Lannante, of 3 archis a litle byneth the paroche [church?] that
stondith on the est side of the haven. This bridge was made a 200
yeres syns, and hath a 3 arches. Afore ther was a fery. Ther cam to
this place ons, the haven beyng onbarrid, and syns chokid with tynne
workes, good talle shippes.

There was a castel caullid _Carnhangives_, as apperith, or manor
place, now clene doun, not far from the bridg. Dinham, as sum say, was
lord of this place, and to the court thereof be longging many knightes
and gentilmens services.

The toune of _Lannant_ [now _Lelant_] is praty. The church thereof is
of S. Unine.

S. Fës [_St. Ive’s_] a 2 miles or more from Lannant. The place that
the chief of the toun hath and partely dooth stonde yn, is a very
peninsula, and is extendid into the se of Severn as a cape. This
peninsula, to compace it by the rote, lakkith litle of a mile. Most
part of the houses in the peninsula be sore oppressid or overcoverid
with sandes, that the stormy windes and rages castith up there. This
calamite hath continued ther litle above 20 yeres. The best part of
the toun now standith in the south part of the peninsula, up toward
another hille, for defence from the sandes. There is a blok house and
a fair pere in the est side of the peninsula; but the pere is sore
chokid with sande. The paroch chirch is of Iva, a nobleman’s daughter
of Ireland, and disciple of S. Barricus. Iva and Elwine, with many
other, cam into Cornewaul, and landid at Pendinas. This Pendinas is
the peninsula and stony rok wher now the toun of S. Ives stondith. One
Dinan, a great lord in Cornewaul, made a chirch at Pendinas, at the
requist of Iva, as it is written yn S. Ive’s legende.

Ther is now at the very point of _Pendinas_ a chapel of S. Nicolas,
and a _pharos_ for lighte for shippes sailing by night in those
quarters. The town of S. Ive’s is servid with fresch water of
brokettes that rise in the hilles thereby. The late Lord Brook was
lord of S. Ive’s, now Blunt lord Monjoy, and young Poulet.

_S. Piranes in the Sandes_, is an xviij. miles from S. Ive’s upward on
Severne; and _S. Carantokes_ is a 2 miles above that on the shore. Els
litle or no notable thing on the shore for so farre. The shore from S.
Ives is sore plagued to S. Carantokes with sandes. There dwellith a
gentilman of a 50 markes land by yere, caullid Glynne, yn S. Ive’s.

From Mr. Godalcan’s to _Trewedenek_, about a 4 miles, wher Thomas
Godalcan [yonger] sun to Sir Willyam, buildith a praty house, and hath
made an exceding fair blo-house mille in the rokky valley therby.

Alle the brookes that cummith from the hilles thereabout gather
to[ward] this botom, and go into Lo Poole a 2 [miles beneath.] _Lo
Poole_ is a 2 miles in lenght, and betwixt it and the mayn se, is but
a barre of sand: and ons in 3 or 4 yeres, what by the wait of the
fresch water and rage of the se, it brekith out, and then the fresch
and salt water metyng makith a wonderful noise. But sone after, the
mouth is barrid again with sande. At other tymes the superfluite of
the water of Lo Poole drenith out thorough the sandy barre into the
se. If this barre might be alway kept open, it wold be a goodly haven
up to Hailestoun. The commune fisch of this pole is trout and ele.

_Hailestoun_, alias Hellas, stondith on an hill, a good market toun,
having a mair and privileges; and coinage twis a yere for tynne
blokkes. There hath bene a castelle. One paroch chirch at the
north-west ende of the towne. An hospital of S. John yet stonding at
the west-southwest of the town, of the foundation of one Kylligrew.
The fresch water that goith to Lo Poole cummith down on the west side
of the toun, but not even hard by it. Wike Mille water cummith within
about half a mile on the east side of the towne.

From Hailstoun to _Mogun Bridge_, about a 2 miles dim. Thorough this
bridge rennith at ebbe a litle brooke that riseth a ―――― miles upper by
weste. It ebbith and flowith aboute a mile above this bridge. I saw on
the left hand, a litle beside this bridge, the principal arme of
Hailford Haven, caullid Wike, the wich flowith about a 3 miles upland
by north to Wike Mille; and this arme is beten[49] with 2 litle fresch
brokes bering the name of Wyke. A flite shot beyond this bridge I cam
to a causey of stone, in the midle whereof was a bridge having but one
arche. It flowith above this bridge; and at the ebbe there resortith a
broke thourough this bridge, that cummith down from south-weste. A
litle beneth these bridges both thes brokes in one run into Wik water.
These bridges be a 4 miles or more from the mouth of Heilford Haven.
About a 2 miles beneth this confluence rennith up on the est side of
the haven a creeke of salt water, caullid Poulpere, and hemmith in a
peace of Mr. Reskymer’s Parke at Merdon, so that with this creke, and
the main se water of the haven, upon a 3 partes the parke is
strenkthyd [surrounded]. Poul Wheverel about half a mile lower, having
a brooke resorting to it. There is on the same side half a mile
[lower] another creke callid Cheilow, alias Chalmansak. There be 4
crekes, (eche of thes crekes hath a broket resorting to them,) on the
south-west side of the haven thus named. Pencastel the first, from the
mouth, 4 miles beneth the bridges, whither shipes do resorte; and here
is a _trajectus_ from the one side of the haven to the other. This is
a mile from the haven mouth, and here the shippes cummunely do ly.
[2.] Caullons, half a mile upward. Then [3.] Mogun, a 2 miles higher,
wher the bridge is, with the broken stone. S. Mogun’s Chirch upon
Mogun Creeke. [4.] Gaire, wher the bridge is, with the causey and one
arch, so that this brekith as a creke out of Mogun.

_S. Mawnoun_ chirch, at the very point of the haven on the side toward
Falmouth, a se marke. Gelling creeke, agayne S. Mawnoun’s on the other
side, hard without the haven mouth. Gilling creke brekith at the hed
into 2 crekes.

_S. Piranes_, alias _Keverine_, wher the sanctuarie was, a mile from
S. Antonies, and not a mile from the main se.

The patronage of _S. Antonies_ longid to Trewardreth. S. Antonies
chirch or chapel beside at ―――― sand. S. Antonies standith in the point
of the land of Gilling creke, and the mouth of Hailford haven. Mr.
_Reskimer_ hath a maner caullid by his own name a mile from Moreden.
There hath bene a fair house, but it felle to ruine in tyme of mynde.
Mr. Reskimer berith in his armes a wolphe. One of the Reskimers gave
land to S. Keverines, for sustentation of certein poore folkes. _S.
Keverine’s_, 2 miles from Gilling creeke, and not a mile from the se.
S. Keverine’s longgid to Bewle Abbay in Hampshir, and had a sanctuarie
privilegid at S. Keverin’s.

From Gaire bridg to _Tremain_, wher Mr. Reskimer now dwellith, a good
mile. This litle house longgid to Tremain, and in tyme of mynde cam by
heire general to one Tretherde. This Tretherde hath, beside, landes
and a praty maner place at ―――― John Reskimer’s mother was Tretherth’s
[daughter.] There is in Devonshir one of the Tremayns a man of fayre
landes.

From Tremayn over Heilford Haven to _Morden_, where Mr. Reskimer hath
a ruinus maner place, and a fair park well woddid; wherof 3 partes is
within the principal streme of the haven, and a creke caullid Poole
Penrith, hemmid yn. Morden [is] in Constentine paroch.

Then I rode half a mile and more from Morden over the fresch water,
that riseth no far distance off yn the hilles, and goith strait into
Poulpenrith creeke. About half a mile farther, I rode over an arme of
the broke that cummith doun to Poulwitheral creeke; and sone after I
rode over the greater arme of the same broke, the salt arme lying in
the bottom hard under it.

Then I rode a 4 miles by morey and rokky ground. And then within the
space of half a mile, I cam to _S. Budocus_ church. This Budocus was
an Irisch man, and cam into Cornewalle, and ther dwellid. A litle from
the chirch there enterid betwixt ij hilles on the shore a short creke
lyke an havenet, but it was barrid.

And a quarter of a mile farther I cam to _Arwennak_, Mr. Keligrewis
place, stonding on the brimme or shore within Falemouth Haven. This
place has been of continuance the auncient house of the Killigrewes.
There was another house of the Keligrewis descending out of this, and
it was in the toun of Penrine. Now both these houses be joynid yn one.

The very point of the haven mouth, being an hille wheron the King hath
builded a castel, is caullid _Pendinant_, and longgith to Mr.
Kiligrewe. It is a mile in cumpace, and is almost environid by the se;
and where it is not, the ground is so low, and the cut to be made so
litle, that it were insulatid. From S. Mawnon to Pendinas by water a 4
miles.

There lyith a litle cape or foreland within the haven, a mile dim.
almost again Mr. Kiligrewis house, called _Penfusis_. Betwixt this
cape and Mr. Kiligrew’s house, one great arme of the haven rennith up
to Penrine toun.

_Penrine_ 3 good miles from the very entery of Falmouth haven, and 2
miles from Penfusis. There dwellith an auncient gentilman, callid
Trefusis, at this point of Penfusis.

_Levine Prisklo_, alias Levine Pole, betwixt S. Budocus and Pendinas;
it were a good haven but for the barre of sande.

The first creke or arme that castith out on the northwest side of
Falemuth, goith up [to] Penrin, and at the ende it brekith into 2
armes, the lesse to the College of Glasenith, i. _viridis nidus_, or
wag-mier, at Penrin; the other to S. Gluvias, the paroch church of
Penrine therby.

Out of eche side of Penrine creke, breaketh out an arme or ever it cum
to Penrin. Stakes and foundation of stone sette in the creeke at
Penrine, afore the toun, a little lower than wher it brekith into
armes. A gap in the midle of the stakes, and a chain.

Good wood about the south and west syde of Penrith. One Walter
[Brounscombe], Bishop of Excestre, made yn a more caullid _Glesnith_,
in the bottom of a park of his at Penrine, a Collegiate chirch, with a
provost, xij prebendaries, and other ministers. This college is
strongly wallid and incastellid, having 3 strong towers and gunnes at
the but of the creke.

Betwixt the point of land of Trefusis, and the point of Restronget
wood, is Milor creek, and there is _S. Milor’s_ church, and beyond the
church is a good rode for shippes. Milor creke goith up a mile. Good
wood in Restronget.

The next creek beyond the point in Stronget Wood is caullid
Restronget, and going ij miles into the land, it brekith into 2 armes;
and _St. [Feock’s]_ Church standith in the land betwixt; and on the
arme is a stone bridg caullid Carr Bridg in the way thens to Truru.
Betwixt Restrongith Creke, and the creke of Truru, be two creekes.
Truru Creeke is next, and goith up a 2 miles creking up from the
principal streme. This creke brekith withyn half a mile of _Truru_,
and castith yn a creke westward by Newham Wood. This creke of Truru,
afore the very toun, is devidid into 2 partes, and eche of them hath a
brook cumming doun, and a bridge, and the toun of Truru betwixt them
both. The White Freres house was on the west arme, yn Kenwyn streate.
Kenwen streat is severid from Truru with this arme; and Clementes
streat by est is seperate on the est side from Truru with the other
arme. One paroche church in Truru self. Kenwen and Clementes streates
hath several chirches, and bere the name of the sainctes of the paroch
chirches. Coynage of tynne at Midsomer and Michelmas at Truru. Truru
is a borow toun and privilegid. Ther is a castelle a quarter of a mile

Spaniardes, and 4 shippes of warre of Depe. The Spaniardes chac’d
hither the French men.

A mile and a half above the mouth of Truro Creke, caullid La Moran
Creke, of the church of _S. Moran_. This creke goith into the land a
quarter of a mile from the maine streme of the haven. The mayne
streame goith up 2 miles above Moran creeke, ebbing and flowing; and a
quarter of a mile above is the toune of _Tregony_, _vulgo_ Tregny.
Here is a bridge of stone _aliquot arcuum_ apon Fala ryver. Fala river
riseth a mile or more off Rochehille, and goith by Granborrow, [“Pons
grandis,” i. e. Granpound] wher is a bridge of stone over it.
_Graunpond_, a 4 miles from [Roche,] and 2 litle miles from Tregony.
Mr. Tregyon hath a maner place richely begon and amply, but not endid,
caullid _Wulvedon_, alias Goldoun. Fala ryver, is betwixt Graunpond
and Tregony.

From Tregony to passe doune by the body of the haven of Falamuth, to
the mouth of Lanyhorne creeke or pille on the south-est side of the
haven, is a 2 miles. This creke goith up half a mile from the
principale streame of the haven.

At the hed of this creeke standith the castelle of _Lanyhorne_,
sumtyme a castel of an 8 toures, now decaying for lak of coverture. It
longgid as principal house to the Archedecons. Thes landes descendid
by heires general to the best Corbetes of Shropshir, and to Vaulx of

This creke of S. Maws goith up a 2 myles by est-north-est into the
land, and so far it ebbith and flowith; and ther is a mylle dryven
with a fresch brook that resortith to the creke. Scant a quarter of a
mile from the castel on the same side, upper into the land, is a praty
village or fischar town with a pere, caullid _S. Maw’s_; and there is
a chapelle of hym, and his chaire of stone a little without, and his
welle. They caulle this Sainct there S. Mat ―――― he was a bishop in
Britain, and [was] paintid as a scholemaster.

Half a mile from the hedde of this, downward to the haven, is a creke
in a corner of a poole with a round mark, made in charte, on the which
is a mille grinding with the tyde. A mile beneth that, on the south
side enterythe a creke half a mile, and this is barrid by a smaul sand
banke from the main sea. A mile beneth this, and almost agayn S. Maw,
a creeke or poole goynge up a litle in ―――― at the but of this is a myle.
And a celle of S. Antone longging to Plympton Priory, and here, of

All the crekes of Fala welle woddid.

From S. Antonies Point at the mayn se to Penare Point a 3 miles dim.

_Grefe_ Islet lyith scant half a mile est of Penare, wherein breadeth
gullis and other se foules. This Grefe lyith north from the Forne, a
point or foreland in Britain, bytwene the wich is the entery of the
sleve of the ocean. And betwixt Forne and Grefe is a v. kennynges; and
here is _breviss. trajectus_ by estimation from Cornewaulle into
Britaines continent.

About a myle by west of Penare is a forte nere the shore in the paroch
of _S. Geron’s_. It is a single dikyd, and within a but shot of the
north side of the same apperith an hole of a vault broken up by a
plough yn tylling. This vault had an issue from the castelle to the
se. And a litle by north of the castelle a 4 or 5 borowes or cast
hilles. A mile dim. from this there is another in the syde of an hille
―――― a quarter ―――― from the lordship of ―――― thy, sumtyme the
Archdekens, now Corbettes and Tregions.

Dudeman Foreland or Point is about a 3 miles from Grefe. No wood on
the very cost from S. Antonies Point to Dudeman. Inward yn the land is
some woode ―――― This chapelle land or point is in the park of _Bodrugan_;
and yn this park was the house of Sir Henry Bodrugan, a man of
auncient stok, atteyntid for takyng part with King Richard the 3 agayn
Henry the 7; and after flying into Ireland, Syr Richard Eggecomb,
father to Sir Pers Eggecombe, had Bodrigan and other parcelles of
Bodrigan’s landes. And Trevagnon had part of Bodrigan’s landes, as
Restronget and Newham, both in Falamuth Haven.

From Chapel land to _Pentowen_, a sandy bay, witherto fischar bootes
repair for a socour, a 2 myles. Here issuith out a praty ryver that
cummith from _S. Austelles_, about a 2 miles dim. off. And there is a
bridge of stone of the name of the town. This ryver rennith under the
west side of the hille, that, the poore toun of S. Austelles stondith
on. At S. Austelles is nothing notable but the paroch chirch.

From Pentowen to the Blake Hedd a mile. There is a fair quarre of whit
fre-stone on the shore betwixt Pentowen and Blak Hed, whereof sum be
usid in the inward partes of S. Mawe’s forteresse. The residew of
morstone and slate. And Pendinas Castelle is of the same stone except
the wallinge.

And in the cliffes between the Blak Hed and Tywartraith Bay is a
certeyn cave, wheryn apperith thinges lyke images gilted. And also in
the same cliffes be vaynis of metalles as coper and other.

There is, a mile from the entery of Tywartraith Bay up yn the land at

_Tywardreth_, a praty toun but no market, lyith a quarter of a myle
from the est side of the bay. Ther is a paroch chirch, and ther was a
priory of blak monkes, a celle sumtyme to a house in Normandy. Sum say
Campernulphus was founder of this priory. Sum say that Cardinham was
founder. Arundale of Lanhern was of late taken for founder. I saw a
tumbe in the west part of the chirch of the priori, with this
inscription:

     Hæc est Tumba Roberti filii Wilihelmi.

This Robert Fitz William was a man of fair landes _tempore Edwardi 3.
reg. Ang._

From Tywardreth toun to _Fawey_ town a ij miles. The point of land on
the est side of Tywardreth Bay is caullid Penarth Point. From Penarth
to the haven mouth of Fawey is a 2 miles. Ther is at the west point of
the haven of Fawey Mouth a blok house devised by Thomas Treury,[50]
and made partely by his cost, partely by the town of Fawey. A litle
higher on this point of the hille is a chapel of S. Catarine. And hard
under the roote of this hille a litle withyn the haven mouth, is a
litle bay or creke bering the name of Catarine.

About a quarter of a mile upper on this the west side of Fawey haven
is a square toure of stone for defence of the haven, made about King
Edward the 4. tym; and litle above this tower on the same side is
_Fawey_ Town, lying alonge the shore, and builded on the side of a
great slatey rokkid hille. In the midle of the toun apon the shore
self is a house buildid quadrantly in the haven, which shadowith the
shippes in the haven above it from 3 partes of the haven mouth, and
defendith them from stormes. The name of the toun of Fawey is in
Cornisch Conwhath. It is set on the north side of the haven, and is
set hangging on a maine rokky hille, and is in length about a quarter
of a mile. The towne longgid to one Cardinham, a man of great fame,
and he gave it to Tywartraith Priorie, of the which sum say that
Cardinham was founder; sum say Campernulph of Bere. But at this gift
Fawey was but a smaul fischar toun. The paroch chirch of Fawey is of
S. Fimbarrus, and was impropriate to the priorie of Tywartraith. The
glorie of Fawey rose by the warres in King Edward the first and the
thirde and Henry the v. day, partely by feates of warre, partely by
pyracie, and so waxing riche felle al to marchaundice, so that the
town was hauntid with shippes of diverse nations, and their shippes
went to all nations. The shippes of Fawey sayling by Rhie and
Winchelsey, about Edward the 3. tyme, wold vale no bonet beyng
requirid; wherapon Rhy and Winchelsey men and they faught, when Fawey
men had victorie, and therapon bare the armes mixt with the armes of
Rhy and Winchelsey, and then rose the name of the ‘Gallaunts of
Fawey.’ The French men diverse tymes assailid this town, and last most
notably about Henry the vj. tyme, when the wife of Thomas Treury the
2. with her men repellid the French out of her house in her
housebandes absence. Wherapon, Thomas Treury buildid a right fair and
stronge embatelid tower in his house, and embateling all the waulles
of the house, in a maner made it a castelle, and onto this day it is
the glorie of the town building in Faweye. In Edwarde the 4. day, 2.
stronge towers were made a litle beneth the town, one on eche side of
the haven, and a chayne to be drawen over. When warre in Edward the 4
dayes seasid bytwene the French men and Englisch, the men of Fawey,
usid to pray [spoil], kept their shippes and asaillid the Frenchmen in
the sea agayn King Edwardes commandement; wherapon the capitaines of
the shippes of Fawey were taken and sent to London, and Dertemouth men
commaunded to fetche their shippes away, at which tyme Dertmouth men
toke them in Fawy, and toke away, as it is said, the great chein that
was made to be drawen over the haven from towre to towre.

From Fawey town end by north in the haven is Chagha mille pille, a
litle uppeward on the same side. A good mile above Chagha mille pille
is on this west side Bodmyn pille, having [a landing place] for wares,
then to be caried to Bodmyn.

A quarter of a mile from Bodmyn creek mouth up into the haven on the
same side is _Gullant_ a fischar tounlet.

From Gullant to Lantian pille or creek about half a mile: it goith up
but a litle into the land. _Lantiant_ lordship longid to the Erle of
Saresbyri. Barret, a man of mene landes, dwellith bytwixt Gullant and
Lantient pille.

From Lantiant pille to Bloughan pille or creke nere a mile; it crekith
up but a litle.

From Bloughan to _Lostwithiel_ scant a mile on the principal streame
of Fawey river. It hath ebbid and flowen above Lostwithiel; but now it
flowith not ful to the toun. In Lostwithiel is the shir haul of
Cornewaul. Therby is also the coynege haul for tynne. The town is
privilegid for a borow; and there is wekely a market on Thursday.
_Richardus Rex Rom. comes Cornubiæ_ privilegid this town. The paroch
chirch is of S. Barptolome. There comithe a broket from west throghe
the side of Lostwithiel, and goith est into Fawey ryver, dividinge
Penknek from Lostwithiel.

Penknek is yn Lanleverey paroch.

Carteis, a gentleman of almost an 100 mark land, dwellith betwyxt
Bloughan and Penknek by Lostwithiel.

The park of _Restormel_ is hard by the north side of the town of
Lostwithiel. Tynne workes in this parke. Good woode in this parke.
Ther is a castel on an hil in this park, wher sumtymes the Erles of
Cornewal lay. The base court is sore defacid. The fair large dungeon
yet stondith. A chapel cast out of it, a newer work then it, and now
onrofid. A chapel of the Trinite in the park, not far from the
castelle.

The castel of _Cardinham_, a 4. miles or more by north from

wherof at this day the lesse goith to the ston bridge, the bigger to a
wodde bridge even again[st] and but a litle way of from the stone
bridge; and after a praty way lower the armes cum again to one botom.
The great part of Fawey water is by policie turnid from the ston bridg
for choking of it, and for to put the sande of from the botom of the
toun. The stone bridge, in tyme of memorie of men lyving, was of
arches very depe to the sight; the sande is now cum to within a 4 or 5
feete of the very hedde of them. The sande that cummith from tynne
workes is a great cause of this, and yn tyme to cum shaul be a sore
decay to the hole haven of Fawey. Barges as yet cum with marchanties
within half a mile of Lostwithiel.

From Lostwithiel doun along Fawey ryver to _S. Winnous_, an abbate
chirch, a good myle. By the wich chirch of old tyme enhabitid a
gentilman, _Joannes de S. Winnoco_. After the Lordes Hastinges wer

About half a mile or 1 cam to Liskard, I passid in a wood by a chapel
of owr Lady, caullid “our Lady in the Park,” wher was wont to be gret
pilgrimage. This chapelle of ease longgith to Liskard, and so doth 2
or 3 more.

_Liskard_ stondith on rokky hilles, and is the best market town at
this day in Cornwaul, saving Bodmin. In this toun the market is kept
on Monday. The paroch chirch is of S. Martin, stondith on an hil, and
is a fair large thing. The personage is impropriate to ――――. Ther was a
castel on an hille in the toun side, by north from S. Martin. It is
now al in ruine. Fragments and peaces of waulles yet stond. The site
of it is magnificent and looketh over al the toun. This castelle was
the Erles of Cornwaul. It is now usyd somtym for a pound of cattell.
This towne knowledgith fredom and privileges by the gift of Richard

Cumming out of Liskarde, about half a mile, I left _Cortyder_, a
goodly lordship and an old maner place, on the right hond; it is a
hunderith pounde by the yere. This is now fawllen onto heir-general in
partition. Cotyder, and the lordship of Tregelley, now caullid
Minheneth lordship, longgid (as Mr. Trelawney told me) to one Heling

caullid Tregelly, wherof the name and sum ruines yet remaine.
Trelawney now lyving, is the 4. of that name that hath be lord of
Minheneth. Ther was one Sir John Trelawney, sn auncient gentilman,
father to the first Trelawney of Minheneth, but be likelihod he had an
elder sun; for Trelawney now living hath none of the landes, but it is
descendid to heires generales.

Half a mile off, a great brooke, after the course of a 4 miles,
resorting to Liner and S. Germanes creke a this side S. Germanes.

Another broket a quarter of a mile beyond, that resortith to the
other.

Thens to Natter Bridge of 2 or 3 archis, 4 miles. It stondith on Liner
Ryver. This ryver, as far as I could lerne, riseth by north-est up

stoode by the priory. S. Germanes stondith about a 3 miles in Liner
creke from the mayne strond of Tamar haven.

From Liner bridge to _Asche_ aboute a 4 miles by much like grounde.
Asche is a praty market toun, and is set from the toppe of a rokky
hille, as by west to the roote of the same, and very shore of Tamar
haven by este. The tounes men use boothe marchandise and fischar. Thir
is a chapel of ease in Asche. The paroch chirch is caullid _S.
Stephan’s_, about half a mile off by south, the personage wherof is
impropriate to Windesore College.

By S. Stephanes, and in S. Stephanes paroch is the graunt and auncient
castelle of _Tremertoun_, apon a rokky hille, wherof great peaces yet
stond, and especially the dungeon. The ruines now serve for a prison.
Great libertees long to this castelle. The Valetortes, men of great
possession, wer owners, and, as far as I can gather, builders of this
castel, and owners and lordes of the toun of Aische.

These crekes I notid on the west side of Tamar. Fyrst, I markid in
sight above Asche toun, a 2 miles or more, the principal arme of Tamar
haven going up into the land about a 10 miles from that place to
Caulstoke bridge, witherto it almost ebbith and flowith. And shippes
cum up within a mile of this bridg to a place caullid Morleham. And
this place is but a 3 miles from Tavestoke. Tavestoke is countid to be
but 10 miles from Asche to go the next way. Betwixt the 2 miles from
Asche to the mayne arme of Tamar in sight I markid, descending in the
haven, 3 crekes breking out into the land, wherof the first lyith by
north-west creking up into the land. The second lyith west-north-west.

The ground betwixt the Passage and Plymmouth hath good corn but litle
wood. Perse Eggecombe had a manor by Ramehed. Perse Eggecombe hath a
goodly house in Cornwalle on Tamar at the mouth of Plimmouth haven.


THE MYDDEL PART OF CORNEWALE. (Vol. vii. fol. 117.)

By the ryver of Tamar from the hedde north-north-est yssuyng owt
towarde the sowthe, the contery being hilly, ys fertile of corne and
gresse, with sum tynne warkes wrougth by violens of water.

Hengiston, beyng a hy hylle and nere Tamar, yn the est part, baryn of
his self, yet is fertile by yelding of tynne both be water and dry
warkes.

The myddel of Cornewale to the est part hy montaynes, rochel ground,
very baren, with sum tynne warkes yn them.

Cornewal thoroughowt from the east part to the west, nerer to the
north part then to the sowth, ys hy montaynes baren ground. Fruteful
from Launston to Bodman, yn a drye somer good for pasturage for catel,

From Lanant to S. Juste, alias Justinian, beyng the very west poynt of
al Cornewayle, the north part ys montaynes and baren growne, but
plenteful of tynne. The very west poynt, as yt is cawled now in
Cornysch, ys Penwolase, id est _infimum caput_.


THE NORTH PART OF CORNEWALE.

Fro Stratton, not very far from the hedde of Tamar, to Padstow, the
contery by the north se ys rather hylle then montaynenius, and is very
fertile of gras and corne. And the clives of the sayd northe se,
betwne the places aforesayd, hath good fyne blew slates, apt for howse
kyveryng, and also hath diverse vaynes of leade and other metalles not
yet knowen.

Also abowt Camelford ar certen old mynes, wrought yn tymes past, but
of what metalle yt ys now onknowen. Withyn a myle above that poore
village sowth, runneth the ryver that goyth ynto the Severn Se at
Paddistow, and it is the greatest ryver on the north side of
Cornewale, and ys cawled yn the commune spech there Dunmere, and yn
the Kyngges grawnt of privilege to the Chanons of Bodmynne, and the
burgeses of the same towne, Alan, yt may fortune for Alaune. Sum
historyes cawl it Cablan. By this ryver Arture fawght his last field,
yn token whereof the people fynd there yn plowyng, bones and harneys.

Wythyn iiii. myles of the sayd Camylford, apon the north clif ys
_Tintagel_, the which castel had be lykekod iii. wardes, wherof ii. be
woren away with gulfyng yn of the se, insomuch that yt hath made ther
almost an isle, and no way ys to enter ynto hyt now but by long elme
trees layde for a bryge; so that now withoute the isle rennith alonly
a gate howse a walle, and a fals braye dyged and wallid. In the isle
remayne old walles, and in the est part of the same, the ground beyng
lower, remayneth a walle embateled, and men alyve saw theryn a postern
dore of yren. Ther is in the isle a prety chapel, with a tumbe on the
left syde. Ther ys also yn the isle a welle, and ny by the same ys a
place hewen owt of the stony grownd to the length and brede of a man.
Also ther remayneth yn the isle a grownd quadrant-walled as yt were a
garden plot. And by this walle appere the ruines of a vault. The
ground of this isle now nuryshyth shepe and conys.

_Paddistow_, a haven towne of one paroch of fysscher men, wher shyppes
cum not yn but at the flowyng water. The grownd by the se cost from
Paddestow to Saynct Anne’s Hille, wheron ys no maner of buylding, the
ground sumwhat hilly ys fruteful of corn and gresse, but with lytle
tynne.

In the est part of Paddestow haven be ii ―――― [ro]kketes that ―――― yth

Fro Sainct Anne’s Hil to _Lanant_, a village, the contery by the north
se ys sumwhat hilly, sanday, and baren, and yn sundery places of the
same, wel replenyshed with tynne.

By Conarton cummith a rywer, cawllid Dour Conor, and goith to the se,
not far from Lanant ryver mouth.

From Lanant by the north se to _S. Just_, alias _Justinian_, wher ys
no thyng but a paroch chirch and divers sparkeled [_i. e._ scattered]
howses at the west poynt of the shore, cawlid ――――.

In the mouth of the ryver that cummyth by Lanant ys the rokket
Godryve, wheryn bredith se fowle.

The ground ys but baren, but yt hath yn divers places good tynne
warkes.

By al the north se yn Cornewale be sundry crekes, wher as smawle
fisshers’ bootes be drawne up to dry land, and yn fayr wether the
inhabitans fysche with the same.

At Paddestow Haven, Lanant, and S. Ives, the balinggars and shyppes ar
saved and kept for al weders with keyes or peres.

_Dosmery Poole_, stonding yn the east part of the same, sumwhat toward
the sowth, is of lenght by estimation ii. arow shottes, and of bredth
one, stonding on a hille, yn the est part of the which poole ys a vale
of xiiii. or xv. fadome depe by estimation, and owt of this poole
issueth a ryver, the which runnyng by the space of a myle and a dim.
ys of ii. fadome deep, and is cawled Depe Hatche. Looke wher he
issueth ynto the se.

Also yn the sayd hilly grownd and mooresch be redde deere, the wich
when they be schafed take the sayde poole for soyle.

Ther be of the _Isles of Scylley_ CXLVII, that bare gresse (besyde
blynd rokkettes) and they be by estimation a xxx myles from the west
part of Cornewale. In the byggest isle of the Scylleys, cawled S.
Nicholas Isle, ys a litle pyle or fortres, and a paroch chyrche, that
a monke of Tavestoke yn peace doth serve as a membre to Tavestoke
Abbay. Ther be yn that paroch abowt a lx. howseholdes. Ther is one
isle of the Scylleys cawled Rat Isle, yn the which be so many rattes,
that yf horse or any other lyving beast be browght thyther they devore
hym. Ther is another cawled Bovy Isle. Ther is another cawled
Inisschawe, that is to sey the Isle of Elder, by cause it berith
stynkkyng elders. There be wild bores or swyne.

From S. Just to Newlin eastward the grownd ys sumwhat hilly and
fertyle of gresse, with tynne werkes both weete and dry, without havyn
or creeke, savyng yn dyvers places ther remayne capstaynes, lyke
engins as shyppes doth way ther ancres by, wherwith they draw ther
bootes up to dry land, and fisch but yn fayr wether.

Also yn the sowth-west poynt betwyxt S. Just and Newlyn ys a poynt or
a promontory almost envyronid with the se, wheryn ys nothyng but as yt
were a hil enclustered with rokkes as yt had bene yn tymes past a
castel, (Castel Treuyne) and for the declaration therof there remayne
yet toward the land ii. wardes clene fawllen downe, but the stones of
them remayne ther very fayre and well quadrated. The ruine of the
fortelet yn the poynt ys at thys day a hold irrecuperable for the fox.

Ther lyith betwixt the sowth west and Newlyn a myle or more off the
se, _S. Buryens_, a sanctuary, wherby, as nere to the chyrch, be not
above viii. dwellyng howses. Ther longeth to S. Buryens a deane and a

ys a iiii. myles fro the very sowth-west poynt.

_Newlin_ ys a poore fischar towne, and hath alonly a key for shippes

yn yt. And this lytle islet bereth gresse.

_Mowsehole_ ys a praty fyschar town yn the west part of Montes-bay,
lying hard by the shoore, and hath no savegarde for shyppes, but a
forced pere. Also yn the bay be est the same towne ys a good roode for
shyppes, cawled Gnaves Lake.

_Pensants_, abowt a myle fro Mowsehole, stonding fast in the shore of
Mont-bay, ys the westest market towne of al Cornwayle, and no socur
for botes or shyppes, but a forsed pere or key. Ther is but a chapel
yn the sayd towne as ys yn Newlyn. For theyr paroche chyrches be more

_Marhasdeythyou_, [_Marketjew_,] alias _forum Jovis_, ys a fischar
towne, with a market, and standeth fast apon the shore of the bay,
directly agaynst the foote of S. Michael’s Mont northward.

In Marhasdeythyow ys but a poore chapel yn the mydde of the poore
town, and a lytle chapel yn the sand nere by the towne toward the
Mont. Be the west end of the towne ys a lake, or a _rivulus_, the
hedde wherof risith withyn a myle of Lanant northwordde fro
Marhesdeythyou. Betwyxt the hedd of this _rivulus_ and the nerest part
of the ryver of Heyle, that cummeth yn to the se at Lanant is not a

_forum Jovis_, and the ful se marke of Lanant ryver, is not ii. myles.

The cumpace of the roote of the mont of _S. Michael_ is not dim. myle

and thens returneth estward to the utter ward of the chyrch. Withyn
the sayd ward is a court strongly walled, wheryn on the sowth syde is
the chapel of S. Michael, and yn the east syde a chapel of our Lady.
The capytaynes and prestes lodginges be yn the sowth syde, and the

Pensants be fownd neere the lowe-water marke rootes of trees yn dyvers
places, as a token of the grownde wasted. The cumpace of the bay ys
from Lyzart poynt to Newlyn abowt a xx. myles.

Wythyn iii. myles of Lyzart Poynt ys a lytle isle withyn the bay,
cawled _Inispriuen_, and conteyneth ii. acres of grownd, wheryn be
byrddes and conies. The ground fro Newlin to Loo Poole by the sowth se
ys not very fertile, but hath good tynne workes. Fro the poynt of
Lyzart to Hayleford haven the grownd is fertile of corn and gresse by
the sowth se. Also wythyn iii. myles of the sowth se betwene Haylford
and the est syde of Montes-bay is a wyld moore, cawled _Gunhilly_, i.
e. hilly hethe, wher ys brood of catayle. Also yn the west syde of the
poynt of Hayleford haven, and withyn the land of Meneke or Menegland,
is a paroch chirch of _S. Keveryn_, otherwis Piranus; and ther is a
sanctuary with x. or xii. dwelling howses, and therby was a sel [cell]
of monkes, but now goon home to ther hed hows. The ruines of the
monastery yet remenith.

Wythyn ii myles of the hedde of the ful se marke of Heyle ryver ys
_Heylston_, a market town, withyn the which ther is a cowrt for the
coynage of tynne kept twys yn the yeer. Yn the town is both a chapel
and a paroch, and yet apperith in the town _vestigia castelli_ yn the
west part. And a ryver runnyng under the same _vestigia_ of the castel
yssueth toward the sowthe see, stopped ther with sowth-est wyndes
casting up sandes maketh a poole cawled Loo, of an arow shot yn brede,
and a ii. myle in cumpas yn the somer; in the wynter, by reason of
fluddes, flowing to Heylston toun; wherby the mylles ner Heylston
beyng stopped, men be constrayned to cut the sandy banke betwyxt the
mowth of the poole and the se, wherby the water may have yssne, and
the mylles grynd, by the which gut so opened, the se floweth and
ebbeth yn to the poole, wherby se fysch enteryng with a sowth-est
winde ys closed yn the poole, the gut beyng agayn choked and fylled
with sand, and so after taken with trowtes and eles drawen yn the same
poole.

The cowntery fro Newlyn to Heylston ys meetely fertyle of gresse and
corn, and plentuus of tynne by the sowth se. Fro the mowthe of
Heylford to Falemuth be water ys iiii. myles.

_Falemuth_ ys a havyn very notable and famose, and yn a maner the most
principale of al Britayne; for the chanel of the entre hath be space
of ii. myles ynto the land xiiii. fadum of depes, which communely ys
caullyd Caryk-rood, by cawse yt ys a sure herboro for the greatest
shyppes that travayle be the ocean. At the entre of the haven lyith a
blynd roke covered at ful see nerer the west side of the haven then
the east, cawled Caregroyne, i. e. _Insula vel rupes potius vitulorum
marinorum_, alias Seeles. Seles when they cast theyr calves, they cum
to lond, and lay theyr _fœtum_ in a dry banke, the which they may com
to, and ther they suffer theyr _fœtum_ to tary a whyle or they bring
hym to the se. In the est syde of the sayde haven entereth a creek
flowing by the space of ii. myles ynto land, and ys fed at the hedde
with fresche water. Apon the sowthe syde of this creke ys a selle
longing to the howse of Plymton, cawled _S. Antony’s_, having but ii.
chanous. On the very north shoore of the sayd creeke towardo the
havyn’s mowth ys a poor fischar village, called _S. Mausa_, alias la
Vausa; and nygh to this village toward the same haven ys a fortelet
lately buylded by the contery for the defens of the haven. In the west
syde of the haven is a creeke that flowith up fro the haven’s mowth
ynto the land above iii. myles, at the very hedd of the which standeth
a prety town of marchandyse and vytayle market. Withyn the towne ys a
colleg wel walled and dyked defensabley cawled S. Thomas, wher be
seculer chanons and a provost. Also yn the towne ys a chapel, and a
quarter of a myle owt of the town ys the paroch chyrch; also viii.
myles and more above the sayd haven’s mowth is a market towne
est-north-est, cawled _Trureu_, wheryn is a mayre, and also coynag for
tynne, with a paroch chyrch and a blake freers. Also on the sowth-est
syde, at the hedde of the olde ful-se marke of Falemuth, is a market
toune xii myles. and more up ynto land, cawled _Tregoney_, wheryn is
an old castel and a paroch chyrch of S. James, standing in a more by
the castel, also a ch[apel?] standing yn the myddes of the towne; and
at the est end of the town a paroch chyrche.

_S. Austol’s_, a poore village with a paroche chyrch, is vi. myles
east fro Tregoney.

_Trewardreth_ Bay hath at the hedde on the est side a poore village
with a paroche chyrch, and a priory yn the same town of Cluny monkes.

From Falemuth to Trewardreth by the sowth se the ground is metely
fertyle of corn and gresse, and no tyn werkes from Falemuth to Dudman
Foreland.

In the mydde way betwene Falemuth and Dudman is an islet or roke
beryng gresse, cawled _Grefe_, a ii. acres about, but standyng yn the
myddes torring upright. Ther bredeth yn the isle se fowle.

Fro Dudman Foreland to Trewardreth, the contre sumwhat baren of gresse
and corne, and replenishid with tynne werkes, with vaynes yn the se
clyves of coper. From Trewardreth to Fowey town ys ii. myles. Bytwene
thes townes by the sowth se ther is plenty of corn and gresse, but no
tynne werkes.

The town of _Fowey_ ys a market town, walled defensably to the se
cost, and hath gates also. Yn the town is but one chyrche, but the
howses of the towne be well buylded of stone and yl enhabited. Also at
the entery of the haven on the west syd is a blokke howse and a chapel
of S. Catarine, be the same. Also ther is on the same syd a towre with
ordenans for defens of the haven.

On the west syde, a ii. myles up yn the haven, ys a fyssher towne
cawled _Gullant_.

At the hedd of the ful se marke of this haven, and a quarter of a mile
more, is the toune of _Lostwhythyel_, havyng a market, and ys the
shyre towne of Cornewal. For ther the shyre is kept by the shryfe ons
yn the moneth. Also at this town is quynag of tynne twys a yere. And
by the shyre hawle appere ruines of auncyent buyldinges. It is
evydently knowen that yt hath flowed to Lostwhythiel; but the spuing
of the sandes of the tynne werkes hath stoppe yt now. The litle rownd
castel of _Restormel_ standith in the kinges parke ny to Lostwithiel.
At the est syde of the haven’s mowth of Fowey stondith a towr for the
defens therof, and a chapel of S. Savyor a lytle above the same. Ny by
the sayd towr standith a fysshar village, cawled _Polruan_.

A myle beyond Polruen on the est syde of the same haven, stondith a
poore fisshar village, caullid _Bodennek_, Ther is the passage or
_trajectus_ to Fowey.

ii. myles above Bodennek ynto the land northward is a creke apon the
north syde, wheryn ys a sel of ii. blake monkes of Montegu, and is
dedicat to S. Sirice and Julit.

By est the haven of Fowey apon a iiii. myles ys a smawle creke, cawled
_Poul Pier_, and a symple and poore village apon the est syde of the
same, of fisshar men, and the bootes ther fishing by, saved by a peere
or key.

In the est syde also of this Poul Pyrre, ii. myles of, is another
creke cawled Loow, being but a tyde creke. For at low water benethe
the bridge a man may both wade and ryde over in the somer. Ther is on
eyther side of this smaule creke a smaule fissher villag hard on the
se shore, the one cawlled _Est_ and the other _West Loow_, Est Loowe
being a market towne, and yn eyther of them a chapel. Also yn the
sayde creekes mouth, neere sumwhat to the sowthe-west, is a lowe isle
cauled S. Nicholas Isle, not a quarter of a myle far the mayn shore,
and conteyneth a vi. or viii. acres in cumpace, and fedeth shepe and
conies, nurishing also broode of se byrdes. Ther is a bridg sumwhat
above thes ii. vyllages of x. or xii. stone arches, over the which men
passe when the se ys yn.

Fro Fowey haven to Lowe creeke the grownd ny the see syde ys very
fertile of corne and gresse, and no tynne werkes.

From Loowe Creke to Tamar ys a xii. myles toward the towne of
Plymmuth. Yn the west syde of Tamar, withyn iii. myles of the haven
muth of Tamar, is a symple fisshar towne called _Mylbrooke_. Also apon
another creke west of the sayd ryver, and nerer up, is a towne cawled
_S. Germayns_, wherin is now a priori of Blake Chanons, and a paroche
chirche yn the body of the same. Beside the hye altare of the same
priory on the right hand ys a tumbe in the walle with an image of a
bishop; and over the tumbe a xi. bishops paynted with their names and
verses as token of so many bishoppes biried there, or that ther had
beene so many bishoppes of Cornwalle that had theyr seete theer. And
at this day the bishop of Exceter hathe a place cauled Cudden Beke,
joyning hard apon the sowth-est side of the same toun.

North-est of S. Germaynes, vi. myles apon the ryver of Tamar, is a
market town cawled _Asshe_. And neere to the same, westward withyn ii.
myles, ys a rownd castel of the kinges, cawled _Trematon_, as a man
showld say the secund forteres on Tamar. At the towne of Asshe is a
passage or fery of a quarter of a myle over.

Also ii. myles fro Asshe northward ynto the land is a smaul village
cawled _Caregrin_. Est of this is Bere Parke and hous in Devonshire,
dividid from Caregrin _tantum Tamara_.

From Low to Tamar by the sowth se the grownd is fertile of corn and
gresse, but withowt tynne warkes.

_Launston_, otherwys cawlled Lostephan, yn old tyme cawlled Dunevet,
stondith ii. myles beyownd Powlston Bridge on Tamar westward. The
sayde town Dunevet, otherwise Lawnston, is a walled towne ny yn cumpas
a myle, but now ruinus. On the north side of the towne a castel
stonding on a hye hille withyn the sayd towne, hath iii. rownde
wardes. Part of the castel stonding northwest, ys parcel of the walle
of the town. Ther be withyn this town iii. gates and a postern; also a
gate to go owt of the castel ynto the old parke. Sum gentelmen of
Cornewal hold ther landes by castel-gard, that ys to say for
reparation of this castel and towne; and withyn this castel ys a
chapel, and a hawle for syses and sessions, for a commune gayle for al
Cornwayle is yn this castel. Withyn this towne is a market, a mayre
and burgesses, with a chapel of Mary Magdalen to theyr uses.

In a vale at the foote of the hil of the sayde town, abowt an arow
shot fro the castel northward, is a priory of chanons regular dedicate
to St. Stephan.

North-est, almost half a myle of the sayde priory, is a lytle village
apon a hille, and a paroche chirche of _S. Stephen_ yn yt. The opinion
is that the chanons first dwelled on this hille, and cam thens downe
to a better and a warmer site. In the priory chirche yarde standeth
also a paroche chyrche.

The wall of Dunevet ys hy, larg, and strong, and defensably set.

By the north side of the priory runneth a litle ryver.

In Dunevet be ii. conduites of derived water.

APPENDIX.

VIII.

DRAYTON’S POLY-OLBION.――CORNWALL.


MICHAEL DRAYTON was born of a gentleman’s family in Warwickshire in
the year 1563. His ancestors are said to have migrated from Drayton in
Lancashire.

Michael exhibited a strong genius for poetry at an early age. He
studied at Oxford, but without taking a degree. In 1588 he appears to
have served in a military capacity; as he describes the glorious
victory over the Invincible Armada, as seen by himself, from the shore
near Dover. He died in 1631, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Mr. Drayton was a very voluminous writer of Poetry. We have from him――

  Heroic Epistles after the model of Ovid.
  The Barons’ Wars in the Reign of Edward the Second.
  The Battle of Agincourt.
  The Shepherd’s Garland.
  Elegies.
  The Man in the Moon, the Owl, Odes, and various other small Poems.

But his greatest work is the Poly-Olbion, in twenty Cantos or Songs,
of which the first is here given, with the Author’s Notes or
Illustrations, as it contains a description of Cornwall, commencing
with a Dialogue between St. Michael’s Mount and the Bar of Hayle,
which must have passed immediately over Tredrea the Editor’s House.

The singular title of his great work is derived from the Greek Πόλυς
many and also very; and Ολβιὸς happy; some neuter substantive
understood, perhaps the Latin _Regnum_; and founded on one of the idle
fancies current in the middle ages, which derived Albion (a name of
this island) in some way or another from Ολβιὸς.

       *     *     *     *     *

Michael Drayton commences his national poem with the western point of
the Country, and his First Song is as follows:

        THE ARGUMENT.

    _The sprightly Muse her wing displays,
    And the French islands first surveys;
    Bears up with Neptune, and in glory
    Transcends proud Cornwal’s promontory;
    There crowns Mount-Michael, and descries
    How all those riverets fall and rise;
    Then takes in Tamer, as she bounds
    The Cornish and Devonian grounds.
    And whilst the Devonshire nymphs relate
    Their loves, their fortunes, and estate,
    Dert undertaketh to revive
    Our Brute, and sings his first arrive:
    Then northward to the verge she bends,
    And her first song at Ax she ends._

  Of Albion’s glorious isle the wonders whilst I write,
  The sundry varying soils, the pleasures infinite,
  (Where heat kills not the cold, nor cold expells the heat,
  The calms too mildly small, nor winds too roughly great,
  Nor night doth hinder day, nor day the night doth wrong,
  The summer not too short, the winter not too long,)
  What help shall I invoke to aid my muse the while?
    Thou Genius of the place (this most renowned isle)
  Which lived’st long before the all-earth-drowning flood,
  Whilst yet the world did swarm with her gigantic brood,
  Go thou before me still thy circling shores about,
  And in this wand’ring maze help to conduct me out:
  Direct my course so right, as with thy hand to show
  Which way thy forests range, which way thy rivers flow;
  Wise Genius, by thy help that so I may descry
  How thy fair mountains stand, and how thy vallies lie;
  From those clear pearly cliffs which see the morning’s pride,
  And check the surly imps of Neptune when they chide,
  Unto the big-swoln waves in the[51] Iberian stream,
  Where Titan still unyokes his fiery-hoofed team,
  And oft his flaming locks in luscious nectar steeps,
  When from Olympus’ top he plungeth in the deeps:
  That from[52] th’ Armoric sands, on surging Neptune’s leas,
  Through the Hibernic gulf (those rough Vergivian seas)
  My verse with wings of skill may fly a lofty gait,
  As Amphitrite clips this island fortunate,
  Till through the sleepy main to[53] Thuly I have gone,
  And seen the frozen isles, the cold[54] Deucalidon,
  Amongst whose iron rocks grim Saturn yet remains,
  Bound in those gloomy caves with adamantine chains.
    Ye sacred[55] bards, that to your harps’ melodious strings
  Sung th’ ancient Heroes’ deeds (the monuments of Kings)
  And in your dreadul verse ingrav’d the prophecies,
  The aged world’s descents and genealogies;
  If, as those[56] Druids taught, which kept the British rites,
  And dwelt in darksome groves, there counselling with sprites
  (But their opinions fail’d, by error led awry,
  As since clear truth hath shew’d to their posterity)
  When these our souls by death our bodies do forsake,
  They instantly again do other bodies take;
  I could have wisht your spirits redoubled in my breast,
  To give my verse applause to time’s eternal rest.
    Thus scarcely said the Muse, but hovering while she hung
  Upon the[57] Celtic wastes, the sea-nymphs loudly sung:
  ‘O ever-happy isles, your heads so high that bear,
  ‘By nature strongly fenc’d, which never need to fear
  ‘On Neptune’s watry realms when Eölus raiseth wars,
  ‘And every billow bounds, as though to quench the stars:
  ‘Fair Jersey first of these here scatter’d in the deep,
  ‘Peculiarly that boasts thy double-horned sheep:
  ‘Inferior nor to thee, thou Guernsey, bravely crown’d
  ‘With rough-embattled rocks, whose venom-hating ground
  ‘The hard’ned emeril hath, which thou abroad dost send:
  ‘Thou Ligon her belov’d, and Serk, that doth attend
  ‘Her pleasure every hour; as Jethow, them at need,
  ‘With pheasants, fallow deer, and conies that dost feed:
  ‘Ye seven small sister isles, and Sorlings, which to see
  ‘The half-sunk sea-man joys; or whatsoe’er you be,
  ‘From fruitful Aurney, near the ancient Celtic shore,
  ‘To Ushant and the Seams, whereas those nuns of yore
  ‘Gave answers from their caves, and took what shapes they please:
  ‘Ye happy islands set within the British seas,
  ‘With shrill and jocund shouts, th’unmeasur’d deeps awake,
  ‘And let the Gods of sea their secret bowr’s forsake,
  ‘Whilst our industrious muse Great Britain forth shall bring,
  ‘Crown’d with those glorious wreaths that beautify the spring;
  ‘And whilst green Thetis’ nymphs, with many an amorous lay
  ‘Sing our invention safe unto her long-wisht bay.’
  Upon the utmost end of Cornwal’s furrowing beak,
  Where[58] Bresan from the land the tilting waves doth break;
  The shore let her transcend, the[59] promont to descry,
  And view about the point th’ unnumbred fowl that fly;
  Some rising like a storm from off the troubled sand,
  Seem in their hov’ring flight to shadow all the land;
  Some sitting on the beach to prune their painted breasts,
  As if both earth and air they only did possess;
  Whence climbing to the cliffs, herself she firmly sets
  The bourns, the brooks, the becks, the rills, the rivulets,
  Exactly to derive; receiving in her way
  That streightned tongue of land, where at Mount-Michael’s bay,
  Rude Neptune cutting in, a cantle forth doth take;
  And on the other side, Hayle’s vaster mouth doth make
  A[60] chersonese thereof, the corner clipping in;
  Where to th’industrious Muse the Mount doth thus begin:
    ‘Before thou further pass, and leave this setting shore,
  ‘Whose towns unto the saints that lived here of yore
  ‘(Their fasting, works and pray’rs, remaining to our shames)
  ‘Were rear’d, and justly call’d by their peculiar names,
  ‘The builders honour still; this due and let them have,
  ‘As deign to drop a tear upon each holy grave;
  ‘Whose charity and zeal, instead of knowledge stood:
  ‘For surely in themselves they were right simply good.
  ‘If credulous too much, thereby th’ offended heaven,
  ‘In their devout intents yet be their sins forgiven.’
  Then from his rugged top the tears down trickling fell;
  And in his passion stirr’d, again began to tell
  Strange things, that in his days time’s course had brought to pass:
  That forty miles now sea, sometimes firm fore-land was;
  And that a forest then, which now with him is flood,
  Whereof he first was call’d the Hoar-rock in the wood;
  Relating then how long this soil had laid forlorn,
  As that her Genius now had almost her forsworn,
  And of their ancient love did utterly repent,
  Sith to destroy herself that fatal tool she lent,
  To which th’ insatiate slave her intrails out doth draw,
  That thrusts his gripple hand into her golden maw;
  And for his part doth wish, that it were in his pow’r
  To let the ocean in, her wholly to devour.
    Which Hayle doth overhear, and much doth blame his rage;
  And told him (to his teeth) he doated with his age.
  For Hayle (a lusty nymph, bent all to amorous play,
  And having quick recourse into the Severn sea,
  With Neptune’s pages oft disporting in the deep;
  One never touch’d with care, but how herself to keep
  In excellent estate) doth thus again intreat;
  ‘Muse, leave the wayward Mount to his distemper’d heat,
  ‘Who nothing can produce but what doth taste of spight,
  ‘I’ll shew thee things of ours most worthy thy delight.
  ‘Behold our diamonds here, as in the quarrs they stand,
  ‘By nature neatly cut, as by a skilful hand,
  ‘Who varieth them in forms, both curiously and oft;
  ‘Which for she (wanting power) produceth them too soft,
  ‘That virtue which she could not liberally impart,
  ‘She striveth to amend by her own proper art.
  ‘Besides the sea-holm here, that spreadeth all our shore,
  ‘The sick-consuming man so powerful to restore,
  ‘Whose root th’ eringo is, the reins that doth inflame,
  ‘So strongly to perform the Cytheræan game,
  ‘That generally approv’d both far and near is sought;
  ‘And our Main-Amber here, and Burien trophy, thought
  ‘Much wrong’d, nor yet prefer’d for wonders with the rest.’
    But the laborious muse, upon her journey prest,
  Thus uttereth to herself; ‘To guide my course aright,
  ‘What mound or steddy mere is offered to my sight,
  ‘Upon this out-strecht arm, whilst sailing here at ease,
  ‘Betwixt the southern waste, and the Sabrinian seas,
  ‘I view those wanton brooks, that waxing still do wane;
  ‘That scarcely can conceive, but brought to bed again;
  ‘Scarce rising from the spring, (that is their natural mother)
  ‘To grow into a stream, but buried in another.’
  When Chore doth call her on, that wholly doth betake
  Herself unto the Loo; transform’d into a lake,
  Through that impatient love she had to entertain
  The lustful Neptune oft; whom when his wracks restrain,
  Impatient of the wrong, impetuously he raves:
  And in his rageful flow, the furious King of waves
  Breaks foaming o’er the beach, whom nothing seems to cool,
  Till he have wrought his will on that capacious pool:
  Where Menedge, by his brooks, a[61] chersonese is cast,
  Widening the slender shore to ease it in the waste;
  A promont jutting out into the dropping south,
  That with his threatning cliffs in horrid Neptune’s mouth,
  Derides him and his pow’r: nor cares how him he greets.
  Next Roseland (as his friend, the mightier Menedge) meets
  Great Neptune when he swells, and rageth at the rocks
  (Set out into those seas) inforcing through his shocks
  Those arms of sea that thrust into the tinny strand,
  By their meandred creeks indenting of that land,
  Whose fame by every tongue is for her minerals hurl’d,
  Near from the mid-day’s point, thro’ out the western world.
  Here Vale a lively flood, her nobler name that gives
  To[62] Falmouth; and by whom it famous ever lives,
  Whose entrance is from sea so intricately wound,
  Her haven angled so about her harb’rous sound,
  That in her quiet bay a hundred ships may ride,
  Yet not the tallest mast be of the tall’st descry’d;
  Her bravery to this nymph when neighbouring rivers told,
  Her mind to them again she briefly doth unfold:
    ‘Let[63] Camel of her course and curious windings boast,
  ‘In that her greatness reigns sole mistress of that coast
  ‘Twixt Tamer and that bay, where Hayle pours forth her pride,
  ‘And let us (nobler nymphs) upon the mid-day side
  ‘Be frolic with the best. Thou Foy, before us all,
  ‘By thine own named town made famous in thy fall,
  ‘As Low amongst us here; a most delicious brook,
  ‘With all our sister nymphs, that to the noonsted look,
  ‘Which gliding from the hills, upon the tinny ore,
  ‘Betwixt your high-rear’d banks, resort to this our shore;
  ‘Lov’d streams, let us exult, and think ourselves no less
  ‘Than those upon their side, the setting that possess.’
    Which Camel over-heard: but what doth she respect
  Their taunts, her proper course that loosly doth neglect?
  As frantic, ever since her British Arthur’s blood,
  By Mordred’s murtherous hand was mingled with her flood.
  For as that river best might boast that conqueror’s breath,
  So sadly she bemoans his too untimely death;
  Who after twelve proud fields against the Saxon fought,
  Yet back unto her banks by fate was lastly brought:
  As though no other place on Britain’s spacious earth
  Were worthy of his end, but where he had his birth:
  And careless ever since how she her course doth steer,
  This mutt’reth to herself, in wand’ring here and there:
  ‘Even in the aged’st face, where beauty once did dwell,
  ‘And nature (in the least) but seemed to excell,
  ‘Time cannot make such waste, but something will appear,
  ‘To shew some little tract of delicacy there,
  ‘Or some religious work, in building many a day,
  ‘That this penurious age hath suffer’d to decay;
  ‘Some limb or model dragg’d out of the ruinous mass,
  ‘The richness will declare in glory whilst it was:
  ‘But time upon my waste committed hath such theft,
  ‘That it of Arthur here scarce memory hath left.’
    The Nine-ston’d trophy thus whilst she doth entertain,
  Proud Tamer swoops along with such a lusty train,
  As fits so brave a flood, two countries that divides:
  So to increase her strength, she from her equal sides,
  Receives their several rills; and of the Cornish kind,
  First taketh Atre in; and her not much behind
  Comes Kensey: after whom, clear Enjan in doth make,
  In Tamer’s roomthier banks, their rest that scarcely take.
  Then Lyner, tho’ the while aloof she seem’d to keep,
  Her sovereign when she sees t’ approach the surgeful deep,
  To beautify her fall, her plenteous tribute brings;
  This honours Tamer much, that she whose plenteous springs
  Those proud aspiring hills, Bromwelly and his friend
  High Rowtor, from their tops impartially commend,
  And is by[64] Carew’s muse the river most renown’d,
  Associate should her grace to the Devonian ground,
  Which in those other brooks doth emulation breed.
  Of which, first Car comes crown’d with ozier, segs and reed:
  Then Lid creeps on along, and taking Thrushel, throws
  Herself amongst the rocks; and so incavern’d goes,
  That of the blessed light (from other floods) debarr’d,
  To bellow underneath she only can be heard,
  As those that view her tract, seems strangely to affright:
  So Toovy straineth in; and Plym, that claims by right.
  The christning of that bay, which bears her nobler name.
  Upon the British coast[65] what ship yet ever came
  That not of Plymouth hears, where those brave navies lie,
  From cannons thund’ring throats that all the world defy?
  Which to invasive spoil, when th’ English list to draw,
  Have check’d Iberia’s pride, and held her oft in awe.
  Oft furnishing our dames with India’s rar’st devices,
  And lent us gold, and pearl, rich silks, and dainty spices.
  But Tamer takes the place, and all attend her here,
  A faithful bound to both; and two that be so near
  For likeliness of soil, and quantity they hold,
  Before the Roman came; whose people were of old
  Known by one general name, upon this point that dwell,
  All other of this isle in wrestling that excell:
  With collars be they yok’d to prove the arm at length,
  Like bulls set head to head, with meer deliver strength;
  Or by the girdles graspt, they practise with the hip,
  The[66] forward, backward, falx, the mar, the turn, the trip,
  When stript into their shirts, each other they invade
  Within a spacious ring, by the beholders made,
  According to the law. Or when the ball to throw,
  And drive it to the goal, in squadrons forth they go;
  And to avoid the troops their forces that fore-lay,
  Through dikes and rivers make, in this robustious play;
  By which the toils of war most lively are exprest.
    But, Muse, may I demand, Why these of all the rest,
  (As mighty Albion’s eld’st) most active are and strong?
  From[67] Corin came it first, or from the use so long?
  Or that this fore-land lies farth’st out into his sight,
  Which spreads his vigorous flames on every lesser light?
  With th’ virtue of his beams, this place that doth inspire,
  Whose pregnant womb prepar’d by his all-powerful fire,
  Being purely hot and moist, projects that fruitful seed,
  Which strongly doth beget, and doth as strongly breed:
  The well-disposed heaven here proving to the earth
  A husband furthering fruit, a midwife helping birth.
    But whilst th’ industrious Muse thus labours to relate
  Those rillets that attend proud Tamer and her state,
  A neighbourer of this nymph’s, as high in fortune’s grace,
  And whence calm Tamer trips, clear Towridge in that place
  Is poured from the spring, and seems at first to flow
  That way which Tamer strains; but as she great doth grow,
  Rememb’reth to foresee what rivals she should find
  To interrupt her course; whose so unsettled mind
  Ock coming in perceives, and thus doth her perswade:
  ‘Now Neptune shield, bright nymph, thy beauty should be made
  ‘The object of her scorn, which (for thou can’st not be
  ‘Upon the southern side so absolute as she)
  ‘Will awe thee in thy course. Wherefore, fair flood, recoil,
  ‘And where thou may’st alone be sov’reign of the soil,
  ‘There exercise thy pow’r, thy braveries and display:
  ‘Turn, Towridge, let us back to the Sabrinian sea,
  ‘Where Thetis’ handmaids still, in that recourseful deep,
  ‘With those rough Gods of sea continual revels keep;
  ‘There may’st thou live admir’d, the mistress of the lake.’
    Wise Ock she doth obey, returning, and doth take
  The Taw; which from her fount forc’d on with amorous gales,
  And eas’ly ambling down through the Devonian dales,
  Brings with her Moul and Bray, her banks that gently bathe;
  Which on her dainty breast, in many a silver swathe,
  She bears unto that bay where Barstaple beholds
  How her beloved Taw clear Towridge there enfolds.
    The confluence of these brooks divulg’d in Dertmoor, bred
  Distrust in her sad breast, that she so largely spread,
  And in this spacious shire the near’st the center set
  Of any place of note, that these should bravely get
  The praise from those that sprung out of her pearly lap:
  Which, nourish’d and bred up at her most plenteous pap,
  No sooner taught to dade, but from their mother trip,
  And in their speedy course strive others to outstrip.
  The Yalm, the Awn, the Aum, by spacious Dertmoor fed,
  And in the southern sea b’ing likewise brought to bed;
  That these were not of power to publish her desert,
  Much griev’d the ancient Moor; which understood by Dert
  (From all the other floods that only takes her name,
  And as her eld’st, in right the heir of all her fame)
  To shew her nobler spirit it greatly doth behove.
    ‘Dear mother, from your breast this fear (quoth she) remove;
  ‘Defy their utmost force; there’s not the proudest flood,
  ‘That falls betwixt the Mount and Exmore, shall make good
  ‘Her royalty with mine, with me nor can compare:
  ‘I challenge any one to answer me that dare;
  ‘That was, before them all, predestinate to meet
  ‘My Britain-founding Brute, when with his puissant fleet
  ‘At Totness first he touch’d; which shall renown my stream,
  ‘(Which now the envious world doth slander for a dream:)
  ‘Whose fatal flight from Greece, his fortunate arrive
  ‘In happy Albion here whilst strongly I revive,
  ‘Dear Harburn, at thy hands this credit let me win,
  ‘Quoth she, that as thou hast my faithful handmaid been,
  ‘So now, my only brook, assist me with thy spring,
  ‘Whilst of the godlike Brute the story thus I sing.
    ‘When long-renowned Troy lay spent in hostile fire,
  ‘And aged Priam’s pomp did with her flames expire,
  ‘Æneas (taking thence Ascanius, his young son,
  ‘And his most rev’rend sire, the grave Anchises, won
  ‘From shoals of slaughtering Greeks) set out from Simois’ shores,
  ‘And through the Tyrrhene sea, by strength of toiling oars,
  ‘Raught Italy at last; where King Latinus lent
  ‘Safe harbour for his ships, with wrackful tempests rent:
  ‘When in the Latin court, Lavinia young and fair,
  ‘Her father’s only child, and kingdom’s only heir,
  ‘Upon the Trojan Lord her liking strongly plac’d,
  ‘And languish’d in the fires that her fair breast embrac’d:
  ‘But Turnus (at that time) the proud Rutulian King,
  ‘A suitor to the maid, Æneas malicing,
  ‘By force of arms attempts his rival to extrude:
  ‘But by the Teucrian power courageously subdu’d,
  ‘Bright Cytheræa’s son the Latin crown obtain’d;
  ‘And dying, in his stead his son Ascanius reign’d.
  ‘Next Sylvius him succeeds, begetting Brute again:
  ‘Who in his mother’s womb whilst yet he did remain,
  ‘The oracles gave out, that next-born Brute should be
  ‘His parents’ only death: which soon they liv’d to see.
  ‘For, in his painful birth his mother did depart;
  ‘And ere his fifteenth year, in hunting of a hart,
  ‘He with a luckless shaft his hapless father slew:
  ‘For which, out of his throne their King the Latines threw.
    ‘Who wand’ring in the world, to Greece at last doth get,
  ‘Where whilst he liv’d unknown, and oft with want beset,
  ‘He of the race of Troy a remnant hapt to find,
  ‘There by the Grecians held; which (having still in mind
  ‘Their tedious ten years’ war, and famous heroes slain)
  ‘In slavery with them still those Trojans did detain;
  ‘Which Pyrrhus thither brought, and did with hate pursue,
  ‘To wreak Achilles’ death, at Troy whom Paris slew,
  ‘There by Pandrasus kept in sad and servile awe:
  ‘Who when they knew young Brute, and that brave shape they saw,
  ‘They humbly him desire, that he a mean would be,
  ‘From those imperious Greeks his countrymen to free.
    ‘He, finding out a rare and sprightly youth, to fit
  ‘His humour every way, for courage, power, and wit,
  ‘Assaracus, (who though that by his sire he were
  ‘A Prince among the Greeks, yet held the Trojans dear;
  ‘Descended of their stock upon the mother’s side,
  ‘For which he by the Greeks his birth-right was deny’d)
  ‘Impatient of his wrongs, with him brave Brute arose,
  ‘And of the Trojan youth courageous captains chose,
  ‘Rais’d earth-quakes with their drums, the ruffling ensigns rear,
  ‘And gath’ring young and old that rightly Trojan were,
  ‘Up to the mountains march, thro’ straits and forests strong:
  ‘Where taking-in the towns pretended to belong
  ‘Unto that[68] Grecian Lord, some forces there they put:
  ‘Within whose safer walls their wives and children shut,
  ‘Into the fields they drew, for liberty to stand.
    ‘Which when Pandrasus heard, he sent his strict command
  ‘To levy all the power he presently could make:
  ‘So to their strengths of war the Trojans them betake.
    ‘But whilst the Grecian guides (not knowing how or where
  ‘The Teucrians were intrench’d, or what their forces were)
  ‘In foul disorder’d troops yet straggled, as secure,
  ‘This loosenees to their spoil the Trojans did allure,
  ‘Who fiercely them assail’d: where staunchless fury rap’d
  ‘(The Grecians in so fast, that scarcely one escap’d;
  ‘Yea, proud Pandrasus’ flight himself could hardly free.
  ‘Who, when he saw his force thus frustrated to be,
  ‘And by his present loss his passed error found,
  ‘As by a later war to cure a former wound,
  ‘Doth reinforce his power, to make a second fight;
  ‘When they, whose better wits had over-matcht his might,
  ‘Loth what they got to lose, as politicly cast
  ‘His armies to intrap, in getting to them fast
  ‘Antigonus as friend, and Anaclet his peer
  ‘(Surpriz’d in the last fight) by gifts who hired were
  ‘Into the Grecian camp th’ insuing night to go,
  ‘And feign they were stol’n forth, to their allies to show
  ‘How they might have the spoil of all the Trojan pride;
  ‘And gaining them belief, the credulous Grecians guide
  ‘Into th’ ambushment near, that secretly was laid:
  ‘So to the Trojans hands the Grecians were betray’d;
  ‘Pandrasus self surpriz’d; his crown who to redeem
  ‘(Which scarcely worth their wrong the Trojan race esteem)
  ‘Their slavery long sustain’d did willingly release:
  ‘And (for a lasting league of amity and peace)
  ‘Bright Innogen, his child, for wife to Brutus gave,
  ‘(And furnisht them a fleet, with all things they could crave
  ‘To set them out to sea. Who launching at the last
  ‘They on Lergecia light, an isle; and, ere they past,
  ‘Unto a temple built to great Diana there,
  ‘The noble Brutus went; wise[69] Trivia to enquire,
  ‘To shew them where the stock of ancient Troy to place.
    ‘The Goddess, that both knew and lov’d the Trojan race,
  ‘Reveal’d to him in dreams, that farthest to the West,
  ‘He should descry the isle of Albion highly blest;
  ‘With giants lately stor’d; their numbers now decay’d:
  ‘By vanquishing the rest, his hopes should there be staid:
  ‘Where from the stock of Troy, those puissant Kings should rise,
  ‘Whose conquests from the West, the world should scant suffice.
    ‘Thus answer’d; great with hope, to sea they put again,
  ‘And safely under sail, the hours do entertain
  ‘With sights of sundry shores, which they from far descry:
  ‘And viewing with delight th’ Azarian mountains high,
  ‘One walking on the deck, unto his friend would say
  ‘(As I have heard some tell) so goodly Ida lay.
    ‘Thus talking ’mongst themselves, they sun-burnt Afric keep
  ‘Upon the leeward still and (sulking up the deep)
  ‘For Mauritania make: where putting-in, they find
  ‘A remnant (yet reserv’d) of th’ ancient Dardan kind,
  ‘By brave Antenor brought from out the Greekish spoils
  ‘(O long renowned Troy! of thee and of thy toils,
  ‘What country had not heard?) which to their General then
  ‘Great Corineus had, the strong’st of mortal men:
  ‘To whom (with joyful hearts) Diana’s will they show.
  ‘Who eas’ly being won along with them to go,
  ‘They all together put into the watry plain:
  ‘Oft times with pirates, oft with monsters of the main
  ‘Distressed in their way; whom hope forbids to fear.
  ‘Those Pillars first they pass which Jove’s great son did rear,
  ‘And cuffing those stern waves which like huge mountains roll
  ‘(Full joy in every part possessing every soul)
  ‘In Aquitain at last the Ilion race arrive;
  ‘Whom strongly to repulse when as those recreants strive,
  ‘They (anchoring there at first but to refresh their fleet,
  ‘Yet saw those savage men so rudely them to greet)
  ‘Unshipt their warlike youth, advancing to the shore.
  ‘The dwellers, which perceiv’d such danger at the door,
  ‘Their King Groffarius get to raise his powerful force:
  ‘Who must’ring up an host of mingled foot and horse,
  ‘Upon the Trojans set; when suddenly began
  ‘A fierce and dangerous fight; where Corineus ran
  ‘With slaughter thro’ the thick-set squadrons of the foes,
  ‘And with his armed ax laid on such deadly blows,
  ‘That heaps of lifeless trunks each passage stopt up quite.
    ‘Groffarius, having lost the honour of the fight,
  ‘Repairs his ruin’d powers; not so to give them breath:
  ‘When they, which must be freed by conquest or by death,
  ‘And conquering them before, hop’d now to do no less
  ‘(The like in courage still) stand for the like success.
  ‘Then stern and deadly war put on his horrid shape;
  ‘And wounds appear’d so wide, as if the grave did gape
  ‘To swallow both at once; which strove as both shall fall,
  ‘When they with slaughter seem’d to be encircled all:
  ‘Where Turon (of the rest) Brute’s sister’s valiant son
  ‘(By whose approved deeds that day was chiefly won)
  ‘Six hundred slew outright through his peculiar strength:
  ‘By multitudes of men yet over-prest at length,
  ‘His nobler uncle there, to his immortal name,
  ‘The city Turon built, and well endowed the same.
    ‘For Albion sailing then, th’ arrived quickly here
  ‘(O! never in this world men half so joyful were,
  ‘With shouts heard up to heaven, when they beheld the land!)
  ‘And in this very place where Totness now doth stand,
  ‘First set their Gods of Troy, kissing the blessed shore;
  ‘Then foraging this isle, long promis’d them before,
  ‘Amongst the ragged cliffs those monstrous giants fought,
  ‘Who (of their dreadful kind) t’ appall the Trojans brought,
  ‘Great Gogmagog, an oak that by the roots could tear:
  ‘So mighty were (that time) the men who lived there:
  ‘But, for the use of arms he did not understand
  ‘(Except from rock or tree, that coming next to hand
  ‘He raz’d out of the earth to execute his rage,)
  ‘He challenge makes for strength, and offereth there his gage.
  ‘Which Corin taketh up, to answer by and by,
  ‘Upon this son of earth his utmost power to try.
    ‘All doubtful to which part the victory would go,
  ‘Upon that lofty place at Plimmouth call’d the Hoe,
  ‘Those mighty wrestlers met;[70] with many an ireful look
  ‘Who threatned, as the one hold of the other took:
  ‘But, grappled, glowing fire shines in their sparkling eyes,
  ‘And, whilst at length of arm one from the other lies,
  ‘Their lusty sinews swell like cables, as they strive:
  ‘Their feet such trampling make, as tho’ they forc’d to drive
  ‘A thunder out of earth, which stagger’d with the weight:
  ‘Thus, either’s utmost force urg’d to the greatest height,
  ‘Whilst one upon his hip the other seeks to lift,
  ‘And th’ adverse (by a turn) doth from his cunning shift,
  ‘Their short-fetcht troubled breath a hollow noise doth make
  ‘Like bellows of a forge. Then Corin up doth take
  ‘The giant ’twixt the grains; and voiding of his hold
  ‘(Before his cumbrous feet he well recover could)
  ‘Pitcht headlong from the hill; as when a man doth throw
  ‘An axtree, that with slight deliver’d from the toe
  ‘Roots up the yielding earth; so that his violent fall
  ‘Strook Neptune with such strength, as shoulder’d him withal;
  ‘That where the monstrous waves like mountains late did stand,
  ‘They leapt out of the place, and left the bared sand
  ‘To gaze upon wide heaven: so great a blow it gave.
  ‘For which, the conquering Brute on Corineus brave
  ‘This horn of land bestow’d, and markt it with his name
  ‘Of Corin, Cornwal call’d to his immortal fame.’
    Clear Dert delivering thus the famous Brute’s arrive,
  Inflam’d with her report, the straggling rivulets strive
  So highly her to raise, that Ting (whose banks were blest
  By her beloved nymph dear Leman) which addrest
  And fully with herself determined before
  To sing the Danish spoils committed on her shore,
  When hither from the east they came in mighty swarms,
  Nor could their native earth contain their numerous arms,
  Their surcrease grew so great, as forced them at last
  To seek another soil, as bees do when they cast;
  And by their impious pride how hard she was bested,
  When all the country swam with blood of Saxons shed:
  This river, as I said, which had determin’d long
  The Deluge of the Danes exactly to have song,
  It utterly neglects; and studying how to do
  The Dert those high respects belonging her unto,
  Inviteth goodly Ex, who from her full-fed spring
  Her little Barlee hath, and Dunsbrook her to bring
  From Exmore; when she hath scarcely found her course,
  Than Creddy cometh in, and Forto, which inforce
  Her faster to her fall; as Ken her closely clips,
  And on her eastern side sweet Leman gently slips
  Into her widen’d banks, her Sovereign to assist;
  As Columb wins for Ex clear Wever and the Clist,
  Contributing their streams their mistress’ fame to raise.
  As all assist the Ex, so Ex consumeth these;
  Like some unthrifty youth, depending on the court,
  To win an idle name, that keeps a needless port;
  And raising his old rent, exacts his farmers’ store
  The landlord to enrich, the tenants wond’rous poor:
  Who having lent him theirs, he then consumes his own,
  That with most vain expense upon the Prince is thrown:
  So these, the lesser brooks, unto the greater pay;
  The greater, they again spend all upon the sea:
  As, Otrey (that her name doth of the otters take,
  Abounding in her banks,) and Ax, their utmost make
  To aid stout Dert, that dar’d Brute’s story to revive.
  For when the Saxon first the Britons forth did drive,
  Some up into the hills themselves o’er Severn shut:
  Upon this point of land for refuge others put,
  To that brave race of Brute still fortunate. For where
  Great Brute first disembark’d his wand’ring Trojans, there
  His offspring (after long expulst the inner land,
  When they the Saxon power no longer could withstand)
  Found refuge in their flight; where Ax and Otrey first
  Gave these poor souls to drink, opprest with grievous thirst.
    Here I’ll unyoke awhile, and turn my steeds to meat:
  The land grows large and wide: my team begins to sweat.


NOTES.


_From which he first was call’d the Hoar-rock in the wood._

That the ocean (as in many other places of other countries) hath eaten
up much of what was here once shore, is a common report, approved in
the Cornish name of St. Michael’s mount; which is Careg Cowz in Clowz,
i. e. the Hoar-rock in the wood.[71]


_And our Main-amber here, and Burien trophy_――――

Main-amber, i. e. Ambrose’s stone (not far from Pensans) so great,
that many men’s united strength cannot remove it, yet with one finger
you may wag it. The Burien trophy is 19 stones, circularly disposed,
and, in the middle, one much exceeding the rest in greatness: by
conjecture of most learned Camden, erected either under the Romans, or
else by King Athelstan in his conquest of these parts.


_Were worthy of his end, but where he had his birth._

Near Camel about Camblan, was[72] Arthur slain by Mordred, and on the
same shore, east from the river’s mouth, born in Tintagel castle.
Gorlois Prince of Cornwal, at Uther-Pendragon’s coronation, solemnized
in London, upon divers too kind passages and lascivious regards twixt
the King and his wife Igerne, grew very jealous, in a rage left the
court, committed his wife’s chastity to this castle’s safeguard; and
to prevent the wasting of his country, (which upon this discontent was
threatned) betook himself in other forts to martial preparation. Uther
(his blood boiling in lust) upon advice of Ulfin Rhicaradoch, one of
his Knights, by Ambrose Merlin’s magic personated like Gorlois, and
Ulfin like one Jordan, servant to Gorlois, made such successful use of
their imposture, that (the Prince in the mean time slain) Arthur was
the same night begotten, and verified that[73] Νόθοι τε πολλοὶ γνησίων
ἀμείνονες. altho’ Merlin by the rule of Hermes, or astrological
direction, justified that he was conceived three hours after Gorlois’
death; by this shift answering the dangerous imputation of bastardy to
the heir of a crown. For Uther taking Igern to wife, left Arthur his
successor in the Kingdom. Here have you a Jupiter, an Alcmena, an
Amphitryo, a Sosias, and a Mercury; nor wants there scarce any thing,
but that truth-passing reports of Poetical bards have made the birth
an Hercules.


_Known by one general name upon this point that dwell._

The name of Dumnonii, Damnonii, or Danmonii, in Solinus and Ptolemy,
comprehended the people of Devonshire and Cornwal; whence the Lizard
promontory is called Damnium in[74] Marcian Heracleotes; and William
of Malmesbury, Florence of Worcester, Roger of Hoveden and others,
stile Devonshire by name of Domnonia, perhaps all from Duff neint, i.
e. low valleys in British; wherein are most habitations of the
countrey, as judicious Camden teaches me.

  _Or that this foreland lies furth’st out into his sight,
  Which spreads his vigorous flames_――――

Fuller report of the excellence in wrestling and nimbleness of body,
wherewith this western people have been and are famous, you may find
in Carew’s description of his country. But to give reason of the
climate’s nature for this prerogative in them, I think as difficult as
to shew why about the Magellanic streights they are so white, about
the Cape de Buon Speranza so black,[75] yet both under the same
tropic; why the Abyssins are but tawny moors, when as in the
East-Indian isles, Zeilan and Malabar, they are very black, both in
the same parallel; or why we that live in this Northern latitude,
compared with the Southern, should not be like affected from like
cause. I refer it no more to the Sun, than the special horsemanship in
our Northern men, the nimble ability of the Irish, the fiery motions
of the French, Italian jealousy, German liberty, Spanish puft-up
vanity, or those different and perpetual carriages of state-government,
Haste and Delay, which, as[76] inbred qualities, were remarkable in
the two most martial people of Greece. The cause of Æthiopian
blackness and curled hair was long since judiciously[77] fetcht from
the disposition of soil, air, water, and singular operations of the
heavens; with confutation of those which attribute it to the Sun’s
distance. And I am resolved that every land hath its so singular
self-nature, and individual habitude with celestial influence, that
human knowledge, consisting most of all in universality, is not yet
furnish’d with what is requisite to so particular discovery. But for
the learning of this point in a special treatise Hippocrates, Ptolemy,
Bodin, and others have copious disputes.


_Of Corin Cornwal call’d, to his immortal fame._

So, if you believe the tale of Corin and Gogmagog: but rather imagine
the name of Cornwall from this promontory of the Land’s End, extending
itself like a[78] horn, which in most tongues is Corn, or very near.
Thus was a[79] promontory in Cyprus called Cerastes, and in the now
Candy or Crete, and Gazaria (the old Taurica Chersonesus) another
titled[80] Κρίου μέτωπον: and Brundusium in Italy had name from
Brendon or[81] Brention, i. e. _a Hart’s-head_, in the Messapian
tongue, for similitude of horns. But[82] Malmesbury thus: “They are
called Cornwalshmen, because being seated in the western part of
Britain, they lie overagainst a horn (a promontory) of Gaul.” The
whole name is as if you should say Corn-wales; for hither in the Saxon
conquest the British called Welsh (signifying the people rather than
strangers, as the vulgar opinion wills) made transmigration: whereof
an old[83] rhimer:

  The vewe that wer of hom bileved, as in Cornwaile and Wailes,
  Brutons ner namore ycluped, ac Waleys ywis.

Such was the language of your fathers between three and four hundred
years since.

CORNISH NAMES.

(Communicated by T. Hingston, Esq. M.D.)


It is commonly understood, that those places in Cornwall, which have
the word _San_ or _Saint_ as the antecedent component of their names,
are so denominated after some martyr or confessor of early times. This
is a very obvious and indisputable fact. But it is by no means
certain, that in every instance of the kind, the saint conferred his
name on the place: for in many cases, the converse seems to have been
practised; and contrary to what is generally imagined, I believe that
the place bestowed its name on the saint. Thus, for example, in _St.
Stephen_, and _St. Allan_, two saints are equally commemorated; but
Stephen, by his own name, which he possessed independently of
accidental circumstances; and Allan, by a name, superseding that which
he had received at his baptism, and subsequently derived from the
place of his retirement.

The want of this distinction has occasioned unspeakable labour and
perplexity in the investigation of Cornish antiquities. Books and
documents have been examined, and enquiries made in vain, after names,
of which no record exists; and which, even in their own day, were
scarcely known beyond the narrow district, in which they were
venerated. In some instances, indeed, the objects of such researches
might have been illustrious before their retirement; but if, in that
case, their acts and sufferings were chronicled, the history was in
effect abolished, when their identity was lost in the assumption of a
new name.

Thus many of our early saints took refuge here, from the persecutions,
to which the Christian faith was exposed in Ireland; and their history
has been chiefly sought in the hagiographies of that country. But the
greater number of them, on coming into Cornwall, complied with this
custom, common, indeed, with all men at that time, of changing the
name with the residence; and accordingly, instead of that, by which
they had been formerly known, and might have been recorded, they
adopted or received another, as choice or accident determined their
settlement. Hence we have _St. Hy_, or _St. Iä_, the Island-saint;
_St. Uny_, (or perhaps more correctly _St. Unan_) the Down-saint; _St.
Dennis_, the Hill-saint; _St. Allan_, the Moor-saint.

But not only have these, and similar appellations, been erroneously
regarded as the baptismal and proper names of the saints, whom they
commemorate; but the accidental corruption of some of them has led to
still greater mistakes; and from the mere coincidence of sound, the
saint whose memory was to be preserved, has been identified with some
other person, for whom that honour could not have been intended. Thus
the town of St. I’s, or with the genitive at full length, as it was
commonly written, St. Ies, has for many generations been called St.
Ives, though the correct form was frequently used till the close of
the seventeenth century. In consequence of this corruption, the place
has been said to have derived its name from some bishop Ivo, either
the Persian, who gave his name to St. Ives, in Huntingdonshire, or the
celebrated Ivo, bishop of Chartres. But St. I was a female from
Ireland.

The case of St. Dennis seems to be of the same kind; though in that
instance the error is not owing to a corruption of the name, but to
the similarity of the sound. St. Dennis signifies the _Saint on the
Hill_, or more strictly, the _Hill-saint_; and the church stands at
this day on the summit of a hill. But the good man, who lived there,
has been considered the same person as St. Dionysius, or St. Dennis,
the areopagite.

I cannot help suspecting, that some error of this sort has occurred in
the case of Paul-parish near Penzance, which is reported to have taken
its name from St. Paul de Leon. Now that portion of the Mount’s bay,
by which this parish is bounded on the east, is called _The Lake_; and
this lake, which might have been correctly so denominated in ancient
times, is at the foot of the hill, on which the present church stands;
and it is, therefore, probable that some man of eminent piety once
resided near it. In that case, he was called the _Lake-saint_, which
rendered into Cornish, becomes _St. Pol_. For this reason, I believe
that the common account is wholly untrue; and that, as in many other
instances, the name of the saint, and through him, of the parish,
originated entirely in a local accident.

I may state here, that some parishes have a popular name, arising not
unfrequently from very trifling circumstances; and this name has, in
some cases, entirely superseded the more legitimate denomination,
under which the church was consecrated and registered. Thus, to give
one example, the parish at the Lizard is called _Landuwednac_, which
signifies the _Black-and-white-church_. This appellation was suggested
by the peculiar appearance of the church and tower, which are built of
black and white stones, arranged alternately, in the manner of a
chessboard.

Amongst the names of our Cornish towns, there are three remarkable
above the rest for having been very diligently examined, and very
little understood. Upon these it may be proper to make a few
observations.

Of _Truro_ Tonkin says, that ‘it is so called from its three principal
streets; for _Tri_, three, and _Ru_, a street, have been turned to
_Truro_ merely _euphoniæ gratia_.’ Tonkin ought to have suspected,
that _Tri_, occurring as the first syllable in the name of a town, was
not likely to mean _three_, because _Tri_ or _Tre_ signifies a
dwelling place, or an assemblage of dwellings, and therefore, a
_town_. He might have supposed too, that the place was called _Truro_,
before its three principal streets were built, or designed; since it
does not appear to have ever had any other name, and we cannot
believe, that it was so denominated by anticipation. For in those rude
times, towns were not commonly laid out upon a definite plan: but the
houses were erected according to the taste or convenience of the
builders; and the streets seem to have been formed, almost as accident
might determine.

But Whitaker says, that Tonkin’s etymology, which was adopted from
Camden, is altogether absurd; and he consequently undertakes to find a
better. For this purpose he assumes, that Truro takes its name from
its castle. Now he imagines, that the castle was denominated
_Trevereu_, and that the name was subsequently familiarized to
_Treuro_. In that way, he thinks, the etymon at once presents itself;
and we are accordingly informed, that _Truro_ signifies the castle on
the _Uro_. This, however, is to take a course the reverse of that
pursued by etymologists in general: for they seek the meaning of a
word in its primitive form, but Mr. Whitaker in its corruption. There
is also another objection, which may be considered equally conclusive;
for, as Mr. Polwhele says, we have no such river in Cornwall as the
_Uro_.

Mr. Polwhele himself has proposed a third explanation, which, however
ingenious, I think equally unsatisfactory. He suggests, that Truro may
be a town of Roman origin; and that the name is a corruption of
_Trevorou_, the _town-on-the-ways_. But if it were so, we should not
be wholly without any evidence of the fact. Proof would be found in
some obscure tradition, some historical record, or some local
circumstance; and the name itself, upon which alone this opinion is
grounded, would be more completely consistent with it. When the Romans
founded a town, it was not their custom to give it a name exhibiting
no trace of their own language; but _Trúro_ is unquestionably Cornish;
and besides that, as persons skilled in such matters would easily see,
it is no very natural corruption of _Trevórou_. Polwh. Hist. of
Cornwall, vol. I, p. 189; vol. II, p. 215.

Yet that it is a corruption, is certain. In the charter granted by
Reginald Fitzroy, in the reign of Henry II. the name of the town is
written _Trivereu_. It is of this word, therefore, that _Truro_ is a
corruption; and if we can determine its signification, we shall
ascertain the etymon of _Truro_. Now nothing can be better known, than
that _Rivereu_, or _Riverô_, in the ancient language of this county,
had the same meaning as the kindred word _rivers_, in English: and
with regard to the initial _T_, it can be scarcely necessary to say,
that it stands for _Tre_, or its archaic form _Te_, a _town_. The
word, therefore, in the primitive and proper mode of writing it, is
_Trerivero_; and consequently, the name as it appears in Reginald’s
charter, is itself an example of that liability to change, by which
the same word was subsequently converted to _Truro_. But the
alteration in that case was so slight, that the composition of the
word was scarcely obscured; and so natural, that its corruption could
not have been prevented. For it was hardly possible in common speech
to avoid the elision, which turns _Trerívero_ into _Trívero_; as this
again has been contracted to _Trúro_. The word _Truro_, then,
signifies the _Town-on-the-rivers_, or as we should now say,
_Riverton_. And this interpretation is illustrated and confirmed by
the local peculiarities: for the town is intersected by two rivers,
which originally were its boundaries――the Cenion on the south, and the
Allan on the east.

With respect to _Marazion_ or _Marketjew_, I need not examine what has
been said about Sion, Jerusalem, and the Jews; for it is wholly
unfounded and absurd. _Marghas_, or in its softer form _Maras_,
signifies a _market_, and _Iän_, of or belonging to an _island_. Hence
_Marasían_ means the _Island-market_. This name is derived from St.
Michael’s Mount, which is in fact an island; and to its monastery the
market belonged. _Marghasjew_, as it is called in Elizabeth’s charter,
or as we now speak, _Marketjew_, signifies _Thursday-market_: the
charter, by which the privilege of a market was granted to the monks
by Robert, earl of Cornwall, having appointed it to be kept on the
_fifth_ day of the week. In Domesday the town is called _Tremarastol_,
which signifies the _Market-town-of-the-monastery_. These three names,
therefore, mutually explain one another; and their signification is
confirmed by the historical facts.

_Penzance_ is said to signify “the _Saint’s head_, or rather the _Head
of the bay_.” Polwh. Hist. of Cornwall, vol. ii. p. 39. I believe that
Mr. Polwhele quotes this from Tonkin. But did Tonkin himself expect
that his readers would be satisfied with an etymology so indeterminate
and contradictory? Yet this is the usual mode of explaining Cornish
words. Camden says, that _Penzance_, or as he more correctly spells
it, _Pensans_, means the _Head of the sands_. But Whitaker declares
this to be unworthy of Camden; and he therefore gives us an improved
interpretation of his own. For this purpose he reads Tonkin backwards;
and as that writer renders _Pensans_ the _Head of the bay_, Whitaker
asserts it to be the _Bay of the Head_! And this is unworthy of
Whitaker. He says, the phrase is equivalent to _Mount’s bay_. But it
was never imagined before, that the Cornish word _Pen_ could signify
such an object as St. Michael’s Mount; and still less can it be
supposed that a town would be denominated a _Bay_. Yet the real
signification of _Pensans_ lay at his feet; for nothing can be more
obvious and easy. The name is derived both from the little chapel of
St. Anthony, which he himself describes, and from the point of land,
on which that chapel stood. For there the town took its beginning; and
there, of course, it found a name――that of the place which it
occupied. Now a _point of land_ was in Cornish called _Pen_; and when
it chanced to be distinguished by the erection of a chapel, it would
naturally be denominated _sacred_ or _holy_, which was expressed by
the word _san_, or if it was a terminal syllable, _sans_. Hence
_Pensans_ signifies _Holy-head_; and in allusion to this, John the
Baptist’s head is in the town-arms.

But Mr. Whitaker would not have committed this error, if he had been
heedful of a principle, observed in the composition of Cornish words,
which can never be safely overlooked, in any attempt to investigate
their meaning. The ancient names of places in Cornwall mostly consist
of two substantive nouns, one of which has the force of an adjective,
and qualifies the other: as _Penrose_, _Penpraze_, _Polwhele_. The
component parts of such words have always been treated as if they had
been associated by caprice, or accident; and the same elements have
been represented as adjectives or substantives indifferently,
according to the fancy or convenience of the interpreter.

But in truth, the ingredients of all these compounds are combined and
distinguished by a settled rule. It is generally supposed, that in all
instances the word used substantively precedes that which is employed
adjectively. In many cases, however, it does not: and as, therefore,
the qualifying noun cannot with certainty be discovered by its
position, they who suppose it to occupy uniformly the second place,
can be right only by chance; and we are consequently to look for some
other mark, by which it may be easily and invariably known. That mark
is the _accent_. Thus we say _Pensáns_: and so, if we admit, what Mr.
Whitaker supposes, that _Pen_ may signify a _hill_, and _sans_ a
_bay_, the word in that case would mean the _Bay-hill_, and not as he
says, the _Hill-bay_.

But as this accent lives only in common speech, and the peculiarities
of the English manner have already considerably disturbed it, those
who have occasion to write any Cornish words, and especially the
cultivators of our history and antiquities, should always mark the
accented syllable: for there is no other way of making this rule of
interpretation available; and of preventing perplexities for the time
to come, still greater than those, which have already existed. But
besides the natural and inevitable tendency of the predominant English
to change the pronunciation of Cornish words, there is a kind of whim
or fashion amongst some, who know nothing of these things, by which
the corruption is wilfully hastened; and while they confidently say
_Pénrose_, _Pénprase_, and _Nánkivel_, they presume to correct those,
who with more knowledge or less affectation, are accustomed to speak
otherwise.

TANNER’S NOTITIA MONASTICA FOR CORNWALL, FROM NASMITH’S EDITION,
FOLIO, 1787, WITH ADDITIONS.

(For these additions I am indebted to Sir Henry Ellis, F.R.S. Sec.
S.A. one of the Editors of the New Edition of Dugdale’s Monasticon.
EDIT.)


I. ST. ANTONY, _or_ Antonine.

In this county were two priories of this name, which are often
confounded by some of our writers.

1. BENEDICTINE CELL. One was a cell of Black monks of Angiers,
belonging to Trewardreth priory[84], and being mentioned in Gervase of
Canterbury’s catalogue must be as early as K. Richard I.st’s time. The
rectory here, as parcel of the possessions of Tywardreith, was
granted, _6 Eliz._ to William and John Killigrew.

2. AUSTIN CELL. The other, St. Anthony’s near St. Mawes, was a small
priory of two Austin canons subordinate to Plimpton[85], and as parcel
of the same was granted, _38 Hen. 8._ to Thomas Goodwin.


II. ST. BENNETT’S, _in the parish of_ Lanivet.

NUNNERY. The tower whereof is yet standing.[86]


III. ST. BLAISE _near_ Fowey, _in the deanry of_ Poudre.

ALMSHOUSE. An old almshouse.[87]


IV. BODMIN, _olim_ Bosmanna.[88]

1. AUSTIN CANONS. The body of St. Petroc being removed[89] to this
place, there was a church built to his memory, and the episcopal see
for Cornwall was therein placed by K. Edward the elder and archbishop
Plegmund, A.D. 905.[90] Here K. Æthelstan is reported to have met with
old Saxon, or rather British, monks following the rule of St.
Benedict, to whom he granted so great privileges and endowments, that
he is accounted founder of the monastery here, about A.D. 926. That
settlement was destroyed by the Danish pirates, A.D. 981, yet the
Religious continued here under several shapes,[91] and much
alienations of their lands, both before and after the Conquest, till
about the year 1120, when one Algar, with the king’s licence and the
consent of Will. Warlewast bishop of Exeter, re-established this
religious house, and placed therein Regular canons of the order of St.
Austin, who continued till the general suppression, when it was styled
the priory of St. Mary and St. Petroc,[92] and was valued at 270_l._
0_s._ 11_d._ _per ann._ Dugd. 289_l._ 11_s._ 11_d._ Speed. The site,
with the demesnes, were granted, _36 Hen. 8._ to Tho. Sternhold, one
of the first translators of the Psalms into English metre.

hospital or lazarhouse,[94] on the east; well endowed for nineteen
leprous people, two whole men and women, and a priest to minister unto
them.[95]

  _Vide_ Leland. Itin. vol. ii. p. 115. vol. iii. p. 12.

3. ALMSHOUSE. At the west end of the town was a chapel and an
almshouse,[96] but not endowed with lands.[97]

  _Vide_ Leland. Itin. vol. ii. p. 115.

4. GREY FRIERS. A house of Grey friers on the south side of the
market-place, begun by John of London a merchant, and augmented by
Edmund earl of Cornwall.[98] After the dissolution this friery was
granted to one William Abbot, _37 Hen. 8._ and in Q. Elizabeth’s time
it was made the house of correction for the county.[99]

V. ST. BURIEN, _in the deanry of_ Trigge Minor.

COLLEGE. King Ethelstan is said to have built and endowed a collegiate
church almost at the Land’s End,[101] and to have granted the benefit
of a sanctuary and other privileges to the same, in honor of St.
Buriena or Beriana a holy woman from Ireland, who had an oratory and
was buried here. At the Conquest here were Secular canons,[102] as
there were a dean and three prebendaries at the time of making the
Lincoln taxation _20 Ed. 1._ and also down to _26 Hen. 8._ though this
deanery was seized into the king’s hands _temp. Ed. 3._ by reason that
Mr. John de Maunte then incumbent, was a Frenchman; and as alien, was
given, _24 Hen. 6._ to King’s college in Cambridge, and afterward by
K. Edward 4. (_anno regni 7_.) to Windsor college;[103] yet neither of
those societies long enjoyed, or had any benefit from it; for it was
all along, and still continues, an independent deanry, in the gift of
the crown or of the duke of Cornwall, of exempt jurisdiction as a
royal free chapel.[104] The deanry or rectory, _26 Hen. 8._ was valued
at 48_l._ 12_s._ 1_d._ _per ann._ Prebenda parva 2_l._ 8_s._ 4_d._
Prebenda de Respernel 7_l._ 6_s._ 8_d._ Prebenda de Tirthney 7_l._

VI. CONSTANTYN, _in the deanry of_ Kerryer.

This seems to have been a church of more than ordinary note, by what
is said in Domesday Book under the title _Ecclesiæ aliquorum
Sanctorum_; scil. “S. Constantinus tenet dim. hidam terræ, quæ fuit
quieta ab omni servitio T. R. E. sed postquam comes terram accepit,
reddebat geldum injuste, sicut terra villanorum.” This church was
afterwards appropriate to the dean and chapter of Exeter, who are
still the patrons of it.

  [Domesd. tom. i. fol. 121.     H. E.]


VII. ENDELLION, _in the deanry of_ Trigge Minor.

COLLEGE. In the parish church here, dedicated to St. Endelienta, were
three prebends or portions before _20 Ed. 1._[105] and subsist to this
day, and have incumbents under the titles of Bodmin or the King’s
prebend, Marney’s prebend, and Trehaverock prebend, taxed each at
5_l._ _per ann._ _26 Hen. 8._


VIII. ST. GERMANS.

AUSTIN CANONS. Here was a collegiate church of ancient foundation in
honor of St. German, one of the famous French bishops, who came over
into Britain to oppose the Pelagian heresy. K. Ethelstan is said to
have made one Conon bishop here, A.D. 936, though it seems more
probable that the episcopal see for Cornwall was not fixed here till
after the burning of the bishop’s house and cathedral church at
Bodmin; after which K. Canute more amply endowed this church of St.
German; and, about A. D. 1050. Leofric, who was bishop here and of
Crediton, having united both bishopricks in the church of St. Peter at
Exeter, changed the Seculars[106] here into Regular canons.[107] The
yearly revenues of this priory were valued, _26 Hen. 8._ at 243_l._
8_s._ Dugd. Speed 227_l._ 4_s._ 8_d._ Clare, ms. Valor. The site was
granted, _33 Hen. 8._ to Kath.[108] Champernoun, John Ridgway, &c.

     [91] What Leland saith of this monastery [Itin. vol. ii.
     114.] is very observable, viz. “That in St. Petroc’s church
     at Bodmin were first monks, then nuns, then Secular priests,
     then monks again, then canons; the last foundation was by
     Will. Warlewast bishop of Exon.” Mr. Speed further adds,
     that after the canons were Grey friers (but these last were
     in a distinct house of their own in this town; _vide infra_)
     he also tells us of a priory of Black canons founded by K.
     Ethelstan to the honour of S. Petrorsi at Bonury in this
     county, which in all probability was the same with this of
     St. Petroc at Bodmin.

     [92] This priory church is said to be now the parish church,
     [Tour through Great Britain, vol. ii. p. 4.] and the priory
     stood at the east end of the churchyard. [Leland. Itin. vol.
     iii. p. 12.]

     [93] Mr. Willis’ Parochiale, p. 179. has St. Laurence chapel

     [106] Thus the inquisition, Mon. Angl. ii. p. 5. but Leland,
     Coll. i. p. 75. saith, the Regulars were introduced by
     Bartholomew bishop of Exeter, who lived _temp. Hen. 2._

     [107] They were Benedictine monks according to Ryley, Plac.
     Parl. p. 466. But that is not right, for here were a prior
     and eight Black canons at the dissolution. Vide Willis, ii.

     [114] Prynne, ii. p. 736. many grants of the deanery and
     prebends here by the kings appear upon the rolls, but seem
     to be made during the vacancy of the see of Exeter. “A.D.
     1315. Feb. 22. Walterus episc. Exon. contulit Joanni de
     Sandale cancellario regis præbendam in ecclesia S.
     Karantoci.” Wharton de decan. Lond. p. 216.

     [115] In the former edition this church was confounded with
     that of St. Pieran: the late learned prelate Dr. Charles
     Littleton bishop of Carlisle informed Dr. Tanner of the
     mistake, and the account of both churches inserted in this
     edition are agreeable to the information communicated by
     him.

     [116] Domesday, “Canonici S. Achebranni tenent

     the order of St. Austin, as Magn. Brit. Antiq. et Nov. p.

     [124] “And took the residew himself,” saith Leland [Itin.
     vol. ii. p. 110.] But in the recital of the donors and
     donations of this priory, made in the charter of king John,
     there is no mention at all of this bishop; but therein
     Reginald the son of K. Henry I. and earl of Cornwall seems
     to make the greatest figure, and he was certainly a
     considerable benefactor, if not founder of this new house,
     as he is said to be by Camden.

     [125] Here could not be less than twelve canons, for the
     prior and eleven subscribed to the supremacy, A. D. 1534. as
     Willis’ Abbies, vol. ii. p. 53.

     corruption of St. Mauduits. See Lacy’s Register, vol. iii.
     Leland Itin. vol. iii. 19. and Willis, Rot. Parl. vol. ii.
     p. 166.

     [133] Domesday, “Ecclesia S. Michaelis tenet Triwal, Brismar
     tenebat T.R.E. Ibi sunt ii. hidæ, quæ nunquam geldaverunt,
     &c. de his ii. hidis comes Moriton abstulit i. hidam.”

     [134] Not William, as Mr. Camden and Mr. Speed; this last
     author mentions the monasteries of S. Michael de Monte, and
     S. Michael de Magno Monte, as distinct religious houses in
     this county, for which I have not yet met with any other
     authority.

     [135] That Talcarn is the same with Minstre appears from the
     registers of the bishops of Exeter; where in the register of
     Bishop Branscomb, fol. 27. b. mention is made of “Talthar or
     Talcarne a cell to Tywardreth;” and in Bishop Stapeldon’s
     register, fol. 82. b. it is stiled “ecclesia de la Minstre
     alias de Talcarne.” Gervase of Canterbury, among other
     Cornish monasteries in his time, reckons Talcarn and St.
     Mary de Valle as cells of Black monks to Algiers, but I know
     not where the latter was situated, unless it was the same
     with S. Michael de Valle a priory in Guernsey. Mr. Burton
     and Mr. Speed have also these two houses, but they mistook
     the reading in the ms. of Gervase of Cant. who, in the
     column of the orders, hath, against these two and St.
     Anthony “mon. n. de Angs,” which they translated “Black
     monks of the Angells,” an order nowhere else to be met with.
     Black monks of Angiers seems most probable, and that they
     were cells to that foreign abbey, as Tywardreth certainly
     was, on which Talcarn appears to have been dependent.

  _The Prior of Bodmyn to Mr. Lock, complaining that the Canons refuse
    to live up to the Rules set them by their Visitor._

  (From the Orig. MS. Cotton. Cleop. E. IV. fol. 116.)

Maister Lok, I harttili recommend me unto you; so thankyng you for

APPENDIX.

XII.

EARLS OF CORNWALL.


The following account of the different individuals who have held the
office of Prince or Earl of Cornwall from the earliest times, till the
period of its becoming merely nominal, excepting as to emolument and
patronage, with the new appellation of Duke, under the fantastic
settlement of King Edward the Third, is derived from Dugdale’s
Baronage.


EARLS OF CORNWALL ANTE CONQU:

Anno 499. Of this county was Gorlois Earl, in the time of Uther
Pendragon, King of the Britons, of whom this is reported.[182] That
Uther determining to solemnize the Feast of Easter at London, with
great honor, appointed all his nobles to be thereat, amongst which,
this Gorlois then was, together with Igerna his wife, whose beauty did
surpass all other British women, so that the king fell in love with
her, and courted her with all delicates; which being discerned by the
Earl, he retired speedily into his country without leave; the king,
therefore, being highly incensed against him for so doing, hasted
after him into Cornwall, and fired divers of his towns, and at length
besieged him at Dimilioch, provoked him to come out to battle, which
he did so inconsiderately, he being one of the first mortally wounded,
his followers disperst themselves. After whose death the king took
Igerna to wife, and begot on her a son, called Arthur, who became
afterwards not a little famous.

Anno 517. The next Earl was Cador,[183] who when King Arthur had
besieged Colgrine, the Saxon General in the City of York,
understanding that Baldulph the brother of Colgrine, expecting the
coming of more Saxons upon the sea coast, designed to fall upon King
Arthur in the night time, Arthur having notice thereof by his scouts,
sent this valiant Cador with six hundred horse, and three thousand
foot, who, meeting the enemy unexpectedly, slew many of them, and
routed the rest.

Anno 520. About three years after,[183] upon another invasion of the
Saxons, and a great battle fought with them near Bathe in
Somersetshire, wherein Colgrine and Baldulph (before mentioned) lost
their lives; and Cheldric the other principal leader of them, with the
remaining part of their forces, were put to flight, this Earl Cador,
by King Arthur’s command, pursued them into the Isle of Thanet, slew
Cheldric, and forced the rest to yield themselves to his mercy.

Anno 542. This noble Cador left issue Constantine,[183] whom King
Arthur at his death appointed to be his successor in his kingdom of
Britain.

The next Earl was Godric,[184] of whom I have seen no other mention
than that Egelwold, sometime King of England, leaving no other issue
that survived him, but one daughter, named Goldusburgh, (six years of
age at his death) committed her to the tuition of this Godric, who
afterwards gave her in marriage to Haveloc, son to Birkelan King of
Denmark.

In the time of King Æthelred, Ailmer, or Æthelmare, (for so he was
also called) was Earl of this county, who being a person of singular
piety, founded[185] first of all the Abbey of Cerne in Dorsetshire, in
the days of King Edgar, and had so great a veneration to the memory of
Eadwan, brother of S. Edmund the Martyr, who led[185] an hermit’s life
in Dorsetshire,[186] before mentioned, near to a certain spring called
the Silver Well, that with the help of Dunstan (Archbishop of
Canterbury) he translated his relics to the old church of Cernel, then
the parish church.

After this, scil. in An. 1005 (in the time of King Ethelred,) he
founded[187] the Abbey of Eynesham in Oxfordshire, and likewise[188]
the Priory of Bruton in Somersetshire, (all Monks of the Benedictine
Order) which he amply endowed, as by the authorities which I have here
cited will appear; though in that of Bruton, canons of S. Augustine
were afterwards placed.

This Ailmer was[189] also Earl of Devonshire, under which title, in
the year 1013, when[189] Suane, King of Denmark, overrun the greatest
part of the land with his army, and forced King Ethelred to betake
himself unto the city of Winchester for refuge, he with all the great
men of the West, fearing the tyranny of the Danes, submitted[189]
themselves to Suane, and gave hostages[189] for their peaceable
obedience unto him. And about three years after this, when King Edmond
Ironside fought so stoutly against King Canute, (son to the same
Suane) he joining[190] with that traitorous Eadric Streone, Earl of
Mercia, and Earl Algar, adhered[190] to Canute.

Of his issue there nothing more appeareth, than that he left a
son[191] called Æthelward, who in the year 1018 was killed[191] by
King Canute, together with that great traitor Eadric Streone, Earl of
Mercia.


ROBERT, EARL OF CORNWALL.

To this Earldom was Robert, Earl[192] of Moreton in Normandy,[192]
brother to King William by the mother, shortly[192] after the Conquest
advanced, and had other great honours given[192] him in this realm.

In the time of King William Rufus, taking[193] part with his brother
Odo, Earl of Kent, in that insurrection on the behalf of Robert
Curthose, he held[194] the castle of Pevensey on that account; but so
soon as the King laid siege thereto, rendered[194] it up to him, and
made his peace.

This Earl having had[195] the standard of Saint Michael carried before
him in battle, as the words of his charter do import (under which it
is to be presumed he had been prosperous) did, out of great devotion
to God and the Blessed Virgin, for the health of his soul and the soul
of his wife, as also for the soul of the most glorious King William
(for those are his expressions) give[196] the Monastery of S. Michael,
at the Mount in Cornwall, unto the Monks of S. Michael de Periculo
Maris in Normandy, and to their successors in pure alms.

To the Abbey of Grestein in Normandy[197] founded by Herlwine de
Contevill, his father, he was a great benefactor, for he gave[198]
thereunto the lordships of Gratings and Broteham in Suffolk, and the
tithe of Cambis, as also his lands at Saisinton in Cambridgeshire;
which place of Gratings (now Cretings) was a cell to that foreign
monastery. He likewise[198] gave thereto the manor of Wilminton in
Sussex, where also there was a cell for monks of that religious house;
and in Ferlis[198] five hides of lands. In Pevensel he gave[198] them
the house of one Engeler; and in his Forest of Pevensel, granted to
them pannage and herbage, with timber for repair of their churches and
houses, as also fuel for fire.

He gave moreover to that Abbey of Grestein half the fishing of
Langeney, and the whole tithe of that fishing, as also the churches of
Eldene, Wesdene, and Ferles, and one hide of land at Heetone. But
whereas he found that the greatest part of the possessions which
belonged to the Priory of St. Petroc at Bodmin in Cornwall, founded by
King Æthelstan, had been[199] taken from the same, and enjoyed by
canons secular, he therefore seised[199] upon the remainder, and
converted them to his own use.

When he departed this world, I do not find; but if he lived after
William Rufus so fatally lost his life by the glance of an arrow in
New Forest from the bow of Walter Tirell; then was it unto him that
this strange apparition happened, which I shall here speak of,
otherwise it must be to his son and successor Earl William,――the
story[200] whereof is as followeth. In that very hour that the king
received that fatal stroke, the Earl of Cornwall being hunting in a
wood distant from that place about two ―――― and left alone by his
attendants, was accidentally met by a very great black goat, bearing
the king all black, and naked, and wounded through the midst of his
breast; and adjuring the goat by the Holy Trinity to tell what that
was he so carried, he answered, “I am carrying your King to judgment,
yea that tyrant William Rufus, for I am an evil spirit, and the
revenger of his malice which he bore to the church of God, and it was
I that did cause this his slaughter; the protomartyr of England, St.
Alban, commanding me so to do; who complained to God of him for his
grievous oppressions in this Isle of Britain, which he first
hallowed,” all which the Earl related soon after to his followers.

This Earl Robert took to wife[201] Maud, daughter to Roger de
Montgomery (Earl of Shrewsbury) which Maud was also a great
benefactress to the Monks of Grestine in Normandy, by the gift[202] of
Conoc, consisting of ten hides, and two hides in Bodingham, with the
church of that place, as also one house in London, with all customs
thereto belonging. Moreover, she gave[202] unto them two and thirty
hides of land which she had of Roger de Montgomery her father, viz. at
Harinton eight, at Mersen eleven, at Hiteford six, at Langeberge two,
at Tavistone three and an half, and at Clavendon three yards land.

By this Maud he had issue[203] WILLIAM, who succeeded him in these
earldoms of Moreton and Cornwall, and three daughters, whose Christian
names are not expressed; whereof the first was wife[203] to Andrew de
Vitrei; the Second to[203] Guy de la Val; the third to the Earl of
Thoulouse, brother to Raymond Count of St. Giles, who behaved himself
so valiantly in the Jerusalem expedition.

The lands whereof he was possessed at the time of the Conqueror’s
Survey,[204] were in Sussex, fifty-four manors, besides the borough of
Pevensel; in Devonshire seventy-five, besides a church and a house in
Exeter; in Yorkshire an hundred and ninety-six; in Wiltshire five; in
Dorsetshire forty-nine; in Suffolk ten; in Hantshire one; in Middlesex
five; in Oxfordshire one; in Cambridgeshire five; in Hertfordshire
thirteen; in Buckinghamshire twenty-nine; in Gloucestershire one; in
Northamptonshire ninety-nine; in Nottinghamshire six; and in Cornwall
two hundred and forty-eight, having two castles, one at Dunhevet, the
other at Tremeton.

William, succeeding Earl Robert his father in the earldom of Moreton
in Normandy, and this of Cornwall, being a person[205] of a malicious
and arrogant spirit from his childhood, envied the glory of King Henry
the First; and not contented with those two earldoms, demanded from
King Henry the earldom of Kent as his right, which earldom his uncle
Odo (the Bishop) formerly had, giving out[205] privately, that he
would not put on his robe, unless that inheritance which he challenged
by descent from his uncle might be restored to him, unto which demand,
the King at first, considering[205] his own unsettled condition,
gave[205] a subtile and dilatory answer; but when[205] he discerned
that those clouds, from whence he doubted a storm, were over, he not
only denied[205] his request, but began to question him for whatsoever
he possessed unrightfully; yet (that he might not seem to oppose what
was just) modestly yielding[205] that he should have a lawful trial
for the same; but with that judicial sentence, which thereupon ensued,
this Earl being highly displeased, in a great rage got over into
Normandy, and there besides some fruitless attempts which he made
against the King’s castles, having an evil eye towards Richard Earl of
Chester (son of Hugh) made[206] no little spoil upon his lands, though
he was then but a child, and in the King’s tutelage; from which time,
together with Robert de Bellesme, Earl of Shrewsbury, he ceased
not[206] to foment a rebellion in those parts. Anno 1103.

4th H. I. 1104. The king therefore discerning these his practises,
seised[207] upon all his possessions here in England, razed[208] his
castles to the ground, and banished[208] him this realm.

And not long after passing[208] over into Normandy to quench those
flames which these two earls had made by joining with Robert Curthose
(who thought himself injured, that his younger brother Henry had made
himself King,) subdued[208] (anno 1106) all that power which there
appeared against him, and at length laid siege to Tenerchebray (a town
belonging to this[208] Earl). For the raising whereof Duke Robert with
this William, and Robert de Belesme, and many other came[209] with a
great army, where a short fight[210] ensued, this earl leading[211]
the van, and Robert de Belesme the rear; and of the king’s army,
Ranulf de Bajorsis (an eminent baron) the van, and Robert Earl of
Mellent the rear. The armies thus disposed, our Earl William made
the[212] onset upon Ranulf with extraordinary courage, but could not
break through his troops, they stood so stoutly to it. The front on
both sides thus maintaining their ground, Helias Earl of Maine, (on
the King’s part) fell upon the flank of the enemy’s foot, who being
not well armed, were soon shattered, which disorder, being observed by
Robert de Bellesme, he began to fly with the rear; whereupon, the King
soon obtained an absolute victory, the duke himself being made
prisoner, and all his principal adherents, amongst which, this Earl,
being taken by the Britains, from whose hands the king and his friends
had much ado to get him, was sent prisoner into England, there to be
secured during his life.[213] After which, the king causing his eyes
to be put out, bestowed[214] his earldom of Moreton upon Stephen of
Blois (son of Stephen Earl of Champaine), whom he then honoured with
knighthood, who was after King of England.

This Earl William built[215] the castle of Montacute in Somersetshire,
and called it by that name from the sharpness of the hill on which he
did set it, and likewise founded[216] a priory near thereto, which he
amply endowed, annexing it as a cell to the Abbey of Cluny in
Burgundy.

He also gave[217] to the Abbey of Bee in Normandy his lordship of
Preston in the Rape of Pevensel in Sussex, and was buried[218] in the
Abbey of Bermondsey in Southwark; but when he died, I find no mention,
nor of either wife or issue that he had.


REGINALD EARL OF CORNWALL.

This Reginald was[219] one of the illegitimate sons of King Henry the
First, (begotten, as it is generally believed,[220] on the daughter of
Robert Corbet,) and surnamed[221] de Dunstanvill.

In 3 Stephen, he was a stout adherer[221] to Maud the Empress, against
Stephen; but afterwards falling off, was in anno 1140 (5 Steph.)
made[222] Earl of Cornwall by that king. Howbeit, after this, being
surprised in Cornwall, at a certain castle then in the power of the
king, by one William Fitz Richard (a person of a noble extraction and
ample fortune in those parts) violating his faith to that king, he
married the daughter of this William,[223] and thereupon reduced that
whole country to his will, grievously oppressing all the king’s party,
and not sparing what was sacred, insomuch as he underwent the sentence
of ex-communication for so doing by the Bishop of Exeter. The king
therefore hearing of these his rebellious practices, marched suddenly
thither with a powerful army, and recovering those strong-holds by him
gained, committed[224] them to the trust of Earl Alan (of Richmond).

After this, scil. in 6 Steph. he was[225] in that fatal battle of
Lincoln, against King Stephen; but ere long, the tide turning, by the
success which the king had in taking[226] the Castle of Forandune, in
com. Berks, which Robert Earl of Gloucester had built on the behalf of
the empress, being by her sent with overtures of peace to the king, he
was taken by Philip, a younger son to that earl, who had revolted to
the king’s side.

After which time I find no more mention of him till 2 Henry II. that
he had the lordship of Meleburne, in com. Somerset, given[228] him by
King Henry, as also[229] the manors of Karswill and Depeford, with the
hundreds.

In 10 Henry II. he endeavoured (for the king’s honour as it is said) a
reconciliation betwixt King Henry and Thomas Becket, then Archbishop
of Canterbury; which not taking effect, he was the next year sent[231]
to visit him in his sickness, and after that to[232] acquaint him with
the judgment given against him.

Furthermore, upon the levying of that aid, in 12 Henry II. for
marrying the king’s daughter, he certified[233] his knights’ fees to
be two hundred and fifteen and a third part in Cornwall and
Devonshire; for which, in 14 Hen. II. he paid[234] two hundred and
fifteen marks, 4_s._ 5_d._ besides[234] £59. 6_s._ 8_d._ for the
knights’ fees of Richard (de Redvers) Earl of Devon.

Moreover, in 19 Henry II. upon that rebellion of Robert Earl of
Leicester, on the behalf of young Henry (the king’s son), he
marched[235] against him (with the Earl of Gloucester) to St.
Edmondsbury, and the year following joined with[236] Richard de Luci
(at that time Justice of England) in the siege of Leicester, then held
out by the forces of the earl, which town they took,[236] though not
the castle.

This Earl Reginald, for the health of the soul of King Henry his
father, gave[237] to the monks in the Isle of Sully, all the wreck of
sea happening upon that island, excepting Wales, and any whole ship.
And departing[238] this life at Certesey in anno 1175 (21 Hen. II.)
was buried[238] at Reading, having issue four daughters, viz. ――――
married[239] to Richard de Redvers, Lord of the Isle of Wight; Maud,
to[240] Robert Earl of Mellent; Ursula, to[240] Walter de Dunstanvill;
and Sarah, to[241] the Viscount of Limoges, who had,[241] in frank
marriage with her, the moiety of the manor of Thiwernhy in Cornwall.

He also left issue[242] two sons, but illegitimate; the one
called[242] Henry FitzCount, begotten[242] on the body of Beatrix de
Vaus, lady of Torre and Karswell; which Henry, through the bounty of
King Henry the Second, had a grant[242] of the whole county of
Cornwall, as also of[242] the manors of[242] Bradeneth and Ocford,
with other lands in com. Devon, and the lordship of Karswell, by the
gift[242] of Beatrix his mother.

The other son was called[242] William.

Upon the death of this Reginald, the king retained[243] the Earldom of
Cornwall in his own hands, and likewise all his lands in England and
Wales, for the use of John his own son (afterwards king),
excepting[243] a small proportion to his daughters before mentioned.


I come now to Henry (the older of his illegitimate sons) in regard he
was a person of note in his time.

This Henry, by the name[244] of Henry FITZ-COUNT, had in 4 Joh. an
assignation[244] of £20 (current money of Anjou) for his support in
that king’s service at Roan; and about that time gave[245] twelve
hundred marks for the lands of William de Traci, which lands Hugh de
Curtenai and Henry de Traci afterwards enjoyed.

In 17 Joh. this Henry had from the king a grant[246] of the whole
county of Cornwall, with the demesnes, and all other its
appurtenances, to farm, until the Realm should be in peace, and the
king clearly satisfied whether he ought to hold it by right of
inheritance, or as part of the demesne of the crown; and being then
made constable[247] of the castle at Lanceston, rendered[247] up the
government of the castle of Porcestre, which he had formerly held.
Moreover, by the assent[248] of that king, he held[248] the town and
castle of Totneis, as also[248] the manors of Corneworth and
Lodeswell, which Reginald de Braose formerly had by the grant of King
Henry the Second. And 1 Hen. III. obtained another grant[249] of the
county of Cornwall, with all its appurtenances, to hold in as full and
ample manner as Reginald Earl of Cornwall held it, and not to be
disseised thereof, but by judgment of the King’s Court.

In 4 Hen. III. it appears[250] that he stood indebted to the king in
five hundred ninety-seven pounds and one mark, which was due by him to
King John for the honour of Braeles (alias Broeneis), and that the
same year disobeying[251] the king’s commands, as also stubbornly
departing[251] the court without leave, the king discharged all his
subjects,[251] and in particular those of Cornwall, from having
anything to do with him. Howbeit, soon after, through the
mediation[251] of the Bishops of Norwich, Winchester, and Exeter, as
also[251] of Hubert de Burgh (then Justice of England) and some
others, giving[252] up the Castle of Lanceston, and the county of
Cornwall, with all the homage and services thereto belonging, as fully
as King John enjoyed them at the beginning of the war which he had
with his barons, his peace[252] was then made with a _salvo jure_, &c.
saving the right he pretended to for that county, wherein the king was
to do him justice when he should come of age.

But that as it seems was never done: for certain it is that the king
did not arrive to his full age till long after the death of this
Henry, it being evident[253] that he died about two years after, viz.
in 6 Hen. III. whereupon command was given to the Sheriff of Cornwall,
that he should permit his executors to enjoy all his goods, and
likewise the rents of all his lands whereof he was possessed when he
went to Hierusalem for the full term, for all those who were signed
with the cross.

It is by some thought that this Henry succeeded his father in the
Earldom of Cornwall, in regard that King Henry the Third in the first
year of his reign granted to him the county of Cornwall, with all its
appurtenances, as is above expressed. But considering that the title
of earl was never attributed to him after that time, I cannot conceive
anything more passed by that grant, than the barony or revenue of that
county. For it is observable, that in patent[254] to Richard Duke of
Gloucester, by King Edward the Fourth, whereby he grants him Castrum,
Comitatum, Honorem, et Dominium Richmundiæ, there passed no more than
the mere Seignorie, otherwise he would not have omitted the title of
Earl thereof amongst his styles. The like may be noted of Raphe Earl
of Westmerland, who had Castrum, Comitatum, Dominium, et Honorem
Richmundiæ granted[255] to him by King Henry the Fourth, yet never
enjoyed the title of Earl of Richmond.


RICHARD EARL OF CORNWALL.

Of this county, Richard, a younger son to King John (for he calls
him[256] filius noster) had the title of Earl in the time of King
Henry the Third. Of him the first mention I find is in 16 Joh. the
king then directing his precept[257] to Peter de Rupibus, Bishop of
Winchester, (at that time Justice of England) for livery (though then
very young) of all the lands of Roese de Dovor, whom he had
married,[257] she being in the custody[257] of William de Brewer; but
not long after this (notwithstanding his tender years) he was, in 1 H.
III. constituted governor[258] of Chileham Castle in Kent, and the
next ensuing year obtained a grant[259] from the king of the honour of
Walingford.

Moreover, in 5 Hen. III. he had a grant[260] of the honour of Eye, to
hold during pleasure, (which shortly after was rendered to the Duke of
Lovain, the right owner thereof); and in 9 Hen. III. had the like
grant[261] of the custody of the county of Cornwall (_id est_ the
sherevalty) during the king’s pleasure, Henry de Berkering being his
substitute.

In this 9th year of Henry III. he was girt[262] with the sword of
knighthood, upon Candlemas Day, with ten other noble persons who were
designed for his service; and soon after accompanied[263] William
Longespe, Earl of Salisbury, (his uncle,) into Gascoigne, having
letters of[263] recommendation from the King to the Archbishop and
Citizens of Burdeaux, who gladly welcoming him thither, assisted[263]
him with their best advice for recovery of those lost territories;
whereupon he raised[264] forces in all those parts, having had from
the king (before he set out of England) a grant of the county of
Cornwall, with all Poictou, for which respect he was generally
called[264] Earl of Poictou; and marching into the country, in a short
time subjugated[264] all those places by force which declined to do
homage to him, receiving a supply[265] of Welsh from hence, with a
large[265] sum of money.

It is reported,[266] that whilst he lay at the siege of the castle of
Riole, hearing of the approach of the Earl of March, he divided his
army, and with part thereof, keeping the seige with the rest, gave him
battle, and obtained an absolute victory, whereby he gained all their
baggage, and took many prisoners; and not long after this, having
merited so well by these his successful beginnings, upon the third day
of Pentecost (id est, 3 calend. Junii, 11 Hen. III.) was advanced
to[267] the title and dignity of Earl of Cornwall, at Westminster,
with great solemnity.

But within a while after there grew much difference[268] betwixt him
and the king his brother, touching a certain lordship given to Waleran
Teutonicus (id est, Ties) by King John, which he alleged[268] to be
parcel of the Earldom of Cornwall, and caused possession to be taken
of it for himself; whereupon, Waleran making a complaint, the king
first wrote to him about it, and then sent for him, commanding the
render thereof, which he refused to do, challenging the judgment of
his peers as to matter of right. Whereat the king took such offence
that he required him forthwith to do it, or depart the realm; unto
which he answered, that he would not deliver up the land, nor, without
the sentence of his peers, go out of the kingdom; and in great
discontent departing went[268] to his own house; which breach betwixt
the king and him caused Hubert de Burgh (then justice of England, and
in chief power at court) to advise the king to surprise him in his bed
the next night following, lest he should raise a disturbance in the
realm; but being privily advertised of that design, he fled
immediately away, making no stop till he got[269] to Reading; and
thence hasting to Marlborough, there found his trusty friend William
Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, unto whom having made relation of what
had passed, they took their course to the Earl of Chester; and being
thus got together, through the power and interest of their friends
raised a potent army, making their rendezvous at Stanford, whence they
sent a minatory message to the king, but imputing all the fault to
Hubert de Burgh, requiring a confirmation of that charter of the
forest which had been cancelled at Oxford. The king, therefore,
discerning this cloud, appointed a meeting at Northampton upon the
third of the nones of August next following, assuring them that he
would there do full right unto all; where meeting accordingly, for
their better satisfaction (amongst other his condescensions) he gave
this Earl Richard his mother’s dowry, with all the lands in England
which did appertain to the Earl of Britanny, as also those which
belonged to the Earl of Bolein, then deceased[270]; whereupon, he had
livery[271] of the whole county of Rutland. And in 15 Henry III.
obtained another grant[272] of the inheritance of the honour of
Walingford, with the castle and all its appurtenances, as also the
manor of Watlington, to hold by the service of three knights’ fees;
likewise, of all the lands in England[272] which Queen Isabell (the
king’s mother) held in dower, and of those which belonged to Robert de
Drewes, and to the Duke of Lorrain (at that time seised into the
king’s hands), to hold until such time as the king should restore
them.

Moreover, he then procured another grant[272] of the whole county of
Cornwall, with the stanneries and mines, to be held of the king and
his heirs by the service of two knights’ fees, bearing at that time
the title[272] of Earl of Cornwall and Poictou. And before the end of
that year, (viz. in the month of April,) the solemnity of the Feast of
Easter being finished, took[273] to wife Isabell, Countess of
Gloucester, widow of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, and sister
to William Mareschal, then Earl of Pembroke; likewise the same year he
obtained a grant[274] of the manor, castle, and honour of Knaresburgh,
in com. Ebor. to himself and the issue of his body by the same
Isabell, to hold by the service of two knights’ fees.

Nor was he less eminent for his military knowledge than for those his
great advancements in riches and honour; for in 20 Henry III.
ambassadors from the Emperor came[275] to the king to desire that he
might be sent to make war on his behalf against the French; but the
king (though then married) having no child, answered,[275] that it
could not stand with reason or safety that a person so young, and
especially at that time being the heir apparent to the crown, should
be employed on such an hazardous adventure, offering them the choice
of any other. Nevertheless, before[276] the end of that year, this
earl (with Gilbert Marshal, then Earl of Pembroke, and divers other
great men) took[276] upon him the cross for a journey to the Holy
Land; and for the better furnishing himself with money, sold many of
his woods; but notwithstanding this resolution, he went not at that
time, for the next year following, (viz. 21 Hen. III.) the king being
seduced by the advice of aliens, and having wasted his treasure,
required[277] a great supply from his subjects, which being granted
and put into the hands of aliens to be transported, occasioned[278]
high discontents; this earl, therefore, dealt freely with him, and
represented to him the danger thereof; and though he found that what
he then said availed little, ceased not the next year following to
continue[278] his good advice, and in particular to tell him how ill
he had done in permitting Simon de Montfort to marry the Countess of
Pembroke his sister; which free and plain dealing with the king did
not at all alienate his affections from him, for shortly after, viz.
in 23 Hen. III. he obtained a grant[279] of the Castle of Lidford and
Forest of Dertmore in fee; before the end of which year, meeting[280]
with divers of the nobility at Northampton, they did there by oath
oblige[280] themselves to go forthwith into the Holy Land for the
service of God and the church.

Taking his leave therefore (soon after) of the bishops and divers
others of the nobles at Reading, (there met by the appointment of the
Pope’s Legate,) many of them wept,[281] in regard he was a person
wholly minding the public welfare; whereupon, he told[282] them, that
had he not made his vow, he would go rather than stay to see the
approaching miseries fall upon this realm; and having prepared[283]
all things ready for his journey, came[283] to the Abbey of St.
Alban’s, where, in full chapter, he desired[283] the prayers of that
whole convent for his good success, then went[283] to London, and took
his leave[283] of the king, the legate, and nobles, and so hasted to
Dovor; whence, soon after arriving in France, he was nobly
received[284] by the king of that realm, and his mother, who sent[284]
the marshall to conduct him through that country, and to entertain him
in all places honourably thence to Avinion, where he had also free and
great entertainment; then to[285] Vienna, whence he intended to take
shipping for Arles; and being in those parts, was met by[286] the Earl
of Provence, (whose daughter King Henry had married,) and so hasted
to[286] the city of St. Giles, there to do his devotions, and receive
the benediction of the monks of that place, which done he gave them
twenty marks; but before he went thence, there came[287] to him a
legate from the Pope (with the Archbishop of Arles) to inhibite[287]
him from proceeding further on his journey, which he took so ill
(being fully resolved thereon, and fitted accordingly), that he
refused[288] both to obey their authority, and to hearken to their
dissuasions. Seeing, therefore, all their endeavours in vain, they
would have persuaded him to take shipping at the port called the
Deadwater, but that he liked not, and so entered[289] the
Mediterranean at Marseilles.

In anno 1241, (25 Hen. III.) being come into the Holy Land, he
accepted of a truce with the Souldan of Babylon, upon condition[290]
that the French who were prisoners there might be released, and that
Jerusalem, with all the parts adjacent, should be free from any
molestation, as also upon divers other articles honourable to the
Christians. And the next year following, viz. 26 Hen. III. returned;
the king, therefore, having intelligence thereof, with the queen,
met[291] him at Dovor.

Soon after which, a Parliament being held at Westminster, where all
the nobles were met, this earl was sent[292] to them by the king (with
the provost of Beverley) to desire their advice for the recovery of
his inheritance in Normandy and other parts of France. But finding
that the king did not incline to follow the counsel of those who
sought the general honour and good of himself and the realm, after
some sharp dispute with him thereon, he associated himself with the
Earls Marshal, Hereford, and some others, and took[293] shipping for
France.

Before this time, it was, saith[294] my author, that the king, by the
advice of his nobles, having given him the whole province of
Gascoigne, he went thither, and showing his charter received the
homages of that people, and after some years by another charter had a
confirmation of that grant; but afterwards, when the queen was
delivered of a son, that she so far prevailed with the king as he
should reassume his grant, and give it to the prince, and that
thereupon, this earl grew much displeased, insisting still upon his
right, though he had thus lost the possession. Moreover, that the king
being then in Gascoigne, and finding the people wavering in their
obedience, not well knowing which way to lean, he did in great wrath
require this earl to resign his grant, and to quit his whole right
thereto. Also, that finding him refractory, he gave command that the
men of Bordeaux should seize upon him by night and imprison him, which
they refused to do, partly in respect of his birth, and partly by
reason they had done homage to him. And, furthermore, seeing he could
not prevail with them that way, he corrupted some with gifts to effect
his desires, viz. to lay hands on him as a rebel, and cast him in
prison; also, that having advertisement thereof (then lodging in the
monastery of S. Cross at Bourdeaux) he got privily on shipboard to
come for England, but without provisions or any necessaries for the
journey; and lastly, (to add to his affliction,) that he was so tossed
with a fearful tempest, as that being in no little peril of shipwreck,
he made a vow to found an abbey for monks of the Cistercian order, in
case he should safe arrive in England.

The next thing memorable of him is, that having taken another journey
to the Holy Land (with William Longespe, Earl of Salisbury), he
returned[295] thence, in anno 1422, (26 Hen. III.) and accompanied[295]
the king into Gascoigne, in aid of Hugh le Brun, Earl of March (who
had married the king’s mother), and was[295] with him in that battle
near Xant against the King of France; after which, the next ensuing
year, he married[296] Senchia, daughter of Reymund Earl of Provence,
sister to the Queen, the wedding being kept at Westminster with great
pomp, whom he endowed[297] at the church door with the third part of
all his lands, whereof he then stood possessed, or should afterwards
acquire, the castle and manor of Berkhampstead being part; and shortly
after, keeping his Christmas[298] at Walingford, entertained the[298]
king and most of the nobility there with extraordinary feasting.

In 30 Hen. III. the templars and hospitalers electing[299] many
secular persons into their societies for succour of the Holy Land, and
defence of those castles then besieged there, this earl sent[299] them
a thousand pounds towards that good work. And the same year, in
accomplishment[300] of his vow formerly made, founded[300] a
Cistercian abbey at Hales (near Winchcombe, in com. Gloc.) causing
also the church of Beaulieu (which his father King John had founded)
to be then dedicated. Moreover, in anno 1247, (31 Hen. III.) by
authority[301] from the Pope, he gathered[301] vast sums of money from
those who were signed with the cross. And the next year following,
through importunity with the king, obtained[302] that no clipt money
should be current.

In anno 1250, (34 Henry III.) passing[303] through France with a
pompous retinue, viz.[303] forty knights, all in rich liveries, five
waggons, and fifty sumpter horses, (his lady and his son Henry being
also with him,) the pope being then at Lyons, sent[304] all his
cardinals, except one, besides a number of clerks, to meet him, and
conduct him thither, and there receiving him with great respect,
feasted[304] him at his own table. Being returned[304] from thence in
anno 1251, (35 Hen. III.) on the eve of St. Leonard, he caused the
Church of Hales to be dedicated[304] with great solemnity; which, with
extraordinary costs, he had so founded, as is before observed. And in
36 Hen. III. obtained a grant[305] of the Manor of Ocham in Rutland
(sometime belonging to Isabel de Mortimer), in part of payment of five
hundred pounds due to him from the king, upon the marriage of Senchia
his wife, to hold to himself and the heirs of his body by her.

Moreover, the next ensuing year, Albert, a clerk, coming[306] over
into England from the Pope, made offer to him of the kingdom of
Apulia, of which he refused[306] to accept, unless he might have some
cautionary places of strength, as also hostages, for securing his
possession. And in 38 Hen. III. the king then going into Gascoigne he
was joined[307] with the queen in the government here during his
absence, in which year he exacted vast sums of money from the Jews for
the king’s use.

It is observed,[308] that in anno 1255, (39 Hen. III.) upon a full
meeting of the nobles in Parliament at Westminster, the king specially
applied himself to this earl by a formal speech for a large supply of
money, viz. forty thousand pounds, the pope having also written
letters to him for that purpose, signifying that he should therein
give a good example to others; but herein he answered neither of their
expectations. And being a person of high repute for his heroic and
noble endowments, about two years after (in the parliament[309] held
at London on the Feast of the Nativity), certain nobles of Almaine
being arrived here, represented[309] to the whole baronage of England
then met, that by unanimous consent of the princes of the empire he
was elected King of the Romans, shewing letters testimonial for
further manifestation thereof; soon after which, the Archbishop of
Cologne, with divers others of the nobles of that country, came[310]
likewise hither, and did homage[310] to him; whereupon, he gave[310]
them five hundred marks towards their travelling expenses, as also a
rich mitre, adorned with precious stones; which so pleased the
archbishop, that he said[310] thus, as he hath put this mitre on my
head, I will put the crown of Almaine on his.

In order whereunto, taking leave[310] of his friends on the third day
in Easter week, he committed[310] himself to the prayers of the
religious, and began his journey towards Yarmouth, there to take
shipping, leaving the charge[311] of his castles and lands in England
to the Bishop of London, and arriving shortly at Aquisgrave, was there
crowned[312] king upon Ascension day.

Having thus received that great honour, he returned[313] thence the
next year after, and landed[313] at Dovor upon the day of S. Julian,
where the king met him with much joy. After this, during his stay
here, he made great preparation for his journey back to receive the
crown of the Empire, which the pope underhand endeavoured[314] to
obtain for him.

But that which I have next observed to be most memorable of him is,
that upon that grand rebellion of those haughty spirited barons, then
headed by Montfort Earl of Leicester and Clare Earl of Gloucester, he
then adhered stoutly[315] to the king; and in 48 Henry III. marched
with him to Northampton, where the chief strength of all their forces
at that time were met together, and that he assisted[315] him in the
siege and taking of that town, as also that, pursuing their dissipated
forces into Sussex, (where the Londoners, with all their power
recruited them,) he commanded[316] the body of the king’s army in that
fatal battle of Lewes, where he shared with him in the unhappy success
of that day, being there taken prisoner. Lastly, that (in anno 1267,
51 Hen. III.) he went[317] again into Germany, and there married[317]
Beatrix, niece to the Archbishop of Cologne. And in 55 Hen. III. was
made[318] Governor of Rockingham Castle, in com. Northampton, and
Warden of the Forest.

Having thus done with the chief of his secular actings and
employments, I now come to his works of piety.

Besides his foundation of the Abbey of Hales (whereof I have already
made mention) he likewise founded[319] that of Rewley (of the same
order) in the suburbs of Oxford; and moreover granted[320] to the
monks of Bec, in Normandy, that all their tenants within the precincts
of the honour of Walingford should be exempted from suit of court to
that honour, provided that his bailiff of Walingford should every year
keep a court leet for the manor of Okebourne within the bounds of the
priory there (which was a cell to Bec), to see that the king’s peace
should be duly kept, and that the benefit arising by that leet should
redound to those monks of Okebourne, they entertaining the bailiff of
Walingford with three or four horse of his retinue at their charge for
that day.

Furthermore, he gave[321] to the canons of the Holy Trinity at
Knaresburgh, for the health of his soul and the souls of his
ancestors, the chapel of S. Robert at Knaresburgh, with the advowson
of the church at Hamstwait, confirming all those grants which King
John had given thereto, with divers other lands of great extent. And
to the monks of St. Michael’s Mount in Cornwall, gave[322] ten
shillings rent due to him for St. James Fair, kept yearly near to the
Mount.

Having thus acted a long part on the theatre of this world with great
honour, after a tedious sickness[323] at his manor of Berkhampstead,
in com. Herts, he died[324] upon the fourth of the nones of April,
anno 1172 (56 Hen. III.) whereupon his heart was buried[325] in the
Gray Friars at Oxford, under a sumptuous pyramid, and his body[325] in
the Abbey of Hales, so founded by him as before hath been observed.

By his first wife Roese de Dovor, he had no issue, she taking another
husband, as it seems, when she arrived to years of consent.

By Isabel the second (widow of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester),
he had issue four sons, viz. John,[326] Henry,[326] Richard, and
Nicholas,[327] (of which Henry I shall say more by and by), John and
Richard departing this life in their infancy, and Nicholas, with his
mother, in[328] childbed. Also a daughter, who dying[329] in her
cradle, was buried[329] near unto John her brother at Reading.

By Senchia, the third wife (daughter to Raymund Earl of Provence), he
had issue Richard, who died[329] young, and Edmund,[329] who succeeded
him in his Earldom of Cornwall; but by Beatrix,[330] the fourth wife,
(niece to the Archbishop of Cologne,) he had no issue.

It is said[331] that he had an illegitimate daughter called Isabel,
who became the wife[331] of Maurice Lord Berkeley, and to whom King
Henry the Third (calling her his niece), for her better support, in
the forty-eighth of his reign, gave the manors of Herotesham and
Trotesclive in Kent.[332] There is also this epitaph recorded[333] for
him.

  Hic jacet in tumulo Richardus Teutonicorum
  Rex vivens, propria contentus sorte bonorum.
  Anglorum Regis germanus, Pictaviensis
  Ante Comes dictus, sed tandem Cornubiensis.
  Demum Theutonicis tribuens amplissima dona
  Insignitus erat, Caroli rutilante corona.
  Hinc Aquilam gessit clypeo, sprevitque Leonem.
  Regibus omnigenis precellens per rationem.
  Dives opum mundi, sapiens, conviva, modestus;
  Alloquio, gestu, dum vixit semper honestus.
  Jam regnum regno commutans pro meliore,
  Regi cælorum summo conregnet honore.

Of his two sons, I shall first speak of Henry.

This HENRY, in anno 1257 (41 Henry III.) was[334] knighted by Richard
King of Almaine, his father, upon the day of his coronation at
Aquisgrave in Germany.

It is said that in 47 Hen. III. having been through plausible and
specious pretences seduced by Montfort Earl of Leicester, and some
other of the rebellious barons, he was taken off by Prince Edward for
the honour of Tikhill, which he then gave[335] him; and the same year
received[336] one hundred marks, assigned to him out of the issues of
the county of Dorset, by the king’s appointment, to fortify the
castles of Corff and Shireborne. But notwithstanding this, it seems
that he inclined to them again for the next year following, (viz. 48
Hen. III.) upon the march of Montfort and his party into the counties
of Gloucester, Worcester, Salop, and then southwards. This Henry
favouring them, was taken by some of the king’s soldiers. Howbeit,
shortly after, the king holding a Parliament at London, amongst those
who fell off from that rebellious pack he was[338] one, and
thenceforth stuck stoutly to the king, marching[339] with him to
Northampton, where the chief of their strength being then got
together, after a sharp dispute were vanquished.[339]

Moreover, in the battle of Lewes, he was[340] one of the principal
commanders in the body of the king’s army, at that time led by Richard
King of Almaine his father; and after that fatal overthrow there
(through the assistance of the Londoners, who poured out all the
strength they could make to their aid), seeing the king and divers of
the nobles made prisoners,[340] he joined with Prince Edward in
mediating a fair reconciliation betwixt both parties; and, in order
thereto, the next day following put himself into the hands of
Montfort, and the rest.

But after this I have not observed anything else further memorable of
him, other than that in 56 Henry III. being[340] with Prince Edward on
his way towards the Holy Land, and partly weary[340] of the length of
the journey, and partly desirous[340] to see his father before he
died, having leave[340] he came[340] into Italy, and at Viterbium
was[340] basely murdered by Guy one of the sons to Montfort, Earl of
Leicester, within the church of S. Laurence, at high mass, in revenge
of his father’s death, who had been slain in the battle of Evesham,
about seven years before, as I have elsewhere fully manifested.

I now come to EDMUND, who, surviving his father, succeeded him in the
dignity of Earl.


EDMUND EARL OF CORNWALL.

In 42 Henry III. this Edmund being possessed of the honour of Eye,
(his father then living,) upon levying the scutage of Wales, paid one
hundred and eighty pounds for ninety knights’ fees and an half
belonging thereto.[341] And in anno 1266, (51 Hen. III.) obtained[342]
of a certain nobleman, lord of Seyland, a large proportion of the
blood of Christ, which he deposited in the abbey of Hales (so founded
by his father as aforesaid.)

Furthermore, in 55 Hen. III. accomplishing[343] his full age of
twenty-one years, he received[344] the honour of knighthood, upon St.
Edward’s Day, and soon after that was invested with the title of Earl
of this county by cincture with the sword; before the end of which
year he likewise married[344] Margaret the sister of Gilbert de Clare,
Earl of Gloucester, and shortly after had livery of the castles of
Knaresburgh, Walingford, Okham, and Berkhamstead, of his
inheritance.[345]

Moreover, in 13 Edw. I. he obtained a charter[346] for a weekly market
every Friday at his manor of Cosham in com. Wilts; and the same year
had another[347] for free warren in his lordship of Great Cestreton,
and Little Cestreton, in com. Oxon, as also for free chase[348] in his
lands of Wasseley and Wymbureholt.

In 15 Edw. I. he had a grant of[349] the castle of Ockham, to hold in
fee with the sheriffalty of the county of Rutland. And in 16 Edw. I.
being made warden of England during the king’s absence (in the wars of
Scotland), marched into Wales, and laid siege to Droselan Castle, the
walls whereof he demolished.[350] Furthermore, in 17 Edw. I. he was
constituted sheriff[351] for the county of Cornwall in fee. And in 25
Edw. I. obtained the king’s precept[352] to the barons of his
Exchequer, that they should not exact more from him for the honour and
castle of Walingford, then the service of three knights’ fees, by
which it had been granted[353] to his father and his heirs in 15
Hen. III.

This Edmund founded[354] a certain college at Asherugge, in co. Bucks,
in honour of the blood of our Saviour, for certain brethren called
Bonhomes; and for the soul of Richard King of Almaine his father,
gave[355] to the monks of Rewley, in the suburbs of Oxford (being
fifteen in number), all his lands in North Osney, as also his manor of
Erdington and mills at Karsington, in that county; likewise one acre
of land in Bel juxta Roslin, with the advowson of the church of
Wendrove, in the hundred of Kerier, in com. Cornub.; also all his
woods at Nettlebed, and divers houses in London, situate in the parish
of St. Thomas the Apostle, with certain lands in Wylauston, and sixty
shillings yearly rent, payable by the monks of Thame, out of the manor
of Stoke Talmach; and departed[356] this life ――――. 28 Edw. I. being then
seised[356] of the honours of Eye, St. Waleries, and Wallingford, as
also of the castle and honour of Knaresburgh, likewise of the manor of
Launceton, of the castle and town of Restormell, of the borough of
Lostwithiel and castle of Tintagell, with the borough, in com.
Cornub., also of the castle and borough of Trematon, with the borough
of Ashe and manor of Calistoke, in the same county; of the manor of
Fordington in com. Dorset; Mere, with the castle; Corsham, Wilton, and
Claiton, in com. Wilts; Little Weldon in com. Northampton; of the
castle of Ocham, with the manors of Egelton and Langholme, in com.
Rutl., and likewise of the whole county of Rutland. Moreover, he died
seised of the city of Chichester, in com. Sussex; of the castle of
Berkhamstead in com. Hertf.; and of the manors of Bensington and
Watlington, with the four hundreds, viz. the hundred and half of
Chitren, the hundreds of Piriton, Lewkenore, Benfield, and Ewelme,
likewise of the half hundred of Swabby, the castle and honour of
Walingford, and manor of Henley, in com. Oxon.

Upon this, his death, which happened[357] at Asherugge on the calends
of October, anno 1300 (28 Edw. I.) without[357] issue, the king, by
his letters to the Bishop of Hereford, signified that he resolved to
have him buried in the Abbey at Hales upon Thursday after Palm Sunday
next ensuing; and, therefore, for the more honourable solemnity of his
funeral, purposing to be there himself, desired that bishop to meet
him and give his assistance in the celebration thereof. The like
letters he wrote to the Bishops of Worcester and Exeter, as also to
the abbots of Evesham, Tewkesbury, Winchcomb, Pershore, Eynesham,
Cirencester, Osney, Stanley in com. Wilts, Bordesley, Rewley near
Oxford, Gloucester, and to the prior of Worcester;[358] but the King’s
mind altering, he was interred at Asherugge.[359] At the solemnizing
of this great funeral, there was[360] likewise Prince Edward, with the
Bishops of Durham and Chester, as also the Earl of Warwick, and divers
others of the nobility.

After which, viz. the next ensuing year, I find that, through the
mediation[361] of the peers in the Parliament then held at Lincoln,
the king was pleased to allow[361] unto Margaret his widow five
hundred pounds per annum for her support; and that for the making good
thereof these lordships, lands, and rents were assigned,[362] viz. the
castle and manor of Ocham in com. Rotel. with the hundreds of
Martinesely, Alnestow, and East Hundred; the hamlet of Egilton (part
of the manor of Langham); in the same county; also fourteen pounds
sixteen shillings and fourpence yearly rent, issuing out of the Court
Leets and Sheriffs’ Aid in Keten, Preston, Okeham, Hameldon, and
divers other towns in that county; the manor of Baketon in com.
Norfolk; the manor of Haghleigh in com. Suffolk; the castle and manor
of Eye; the hamlets of Dalingho, Alderton, and Thorndon, in the same
county; the manor of Kirketon, with the towns, hamlets, and hundreds
of Kirketon, Haselhou, Coringham, and Maule, with the issues of the
sokemote of those manors, all in com. Linc.; the manor of Harewell in
com. Berks; the manor of Isleworth, with the hamlets of Heston,
Twickenham, and Wicton, in com. Middlesex; twenty-one pounds yearly
rent out of Queenhithe, in the city of London; the town of Rockingham,
and manor of Little Weldon, in com. Northampton; the manor of Glatton,
with the hamlet of Holme, in com. Huntingdon; the manor of Fordington,
with the hamlet of Whitwell, in com. Dorset; twenty pounds yearly rent
of the ferme of the town of Malmsbury in com. Wilts; twenty pounds,
fifteen shillings, and sixpence yearly rent of the ferme of the
borough of Ivelcester, in com. Somerset; ten pounds, seventeen
shillings, and sevenpence yearly rent, out of Old Shoreham, in com.
Sussex; the manor of Cippeham, and hamlet of Stor, in com. Bucks, with
the manor and town of Henley in com. Oxon.


JOHN OF ELTHAM, EARL OF CORNWALL. (2 EDW. III.)

This John being second son to King Edward the Second, was born[363] at
Eltham in Kent, upon the festival of the Blessed Virgin’s Assumption,
in anno 1316, the 9th of his father’s reign; and in 16 Edward II. had
a grant[364] in fee of the castle, manor, and honour of Tuttebury,
part of the possessions of Thomas Earl of Lancaster, then attainted.
Also in 1 Edw. III. another[365] in general tail of the manor of
Milham in com. Norfolk; and a third[366] in reversion after the death
of John de Britannia, Earl of Richmond, to himself and the heirs male
of his body, of the honour of Richmond, with all the castles, manors,
and lands belonging thereto; shortly after which, viz. in 2 Edw. III.
he was advanced[367] to the title of Earl of Cornwall in that
parliament which begun at Salisbury after the quindesme of St.
Michael. And in 3 Edw. III. the king, then going[368] into France to
do his homage for the dukedom of Aquitaine, was constituted[369] his
lieutenant here during his absence. In 4 Edw. III. he had another
grant[370] in tail general of twenty pounds per annum, by the title of
Earl of Cornwall, to be paid out of the issues of that county;
likewise of the manor of Hanlegh, and of the castle and manor of Eye,
with the hamlets of Dalingho, Alderton, Thorndon, and certain lands in
Clopton, in com. Suffolk; also of twenty pounds yearly rent, payable
by the Prior of Bromholme, in com. Norfolk, for the manor of Baketone;
of certain rents pertaining to the honour of Eye in com. Norfolk,
Suff. and Essex; of the guardianship of the castle of Eye, and of the
free court in Lincoln belonging thereto; of the castle, town, and
honour of Berkhamstead in com. Hertford; of the manor of Risberghe,
with the park and manor of Cippenham, in com. Bucks; of the castle,
town, and honour of Walingford in com. Berks, with its members; of the
honour of St. Walerie, in com. Oxon, and other counties; of the mills
at Oxford, with the meadow there called Kingsmede; of the manors of
Boudon and Haverbergh in com. Leicester; of the manor of Byflete in
com. Surrey; and of the town of Rokyngham in com. Northampton, all of
which were then valued[371] at two thousand per annum. Besides which,
he then also obtained a grant[371] of the hundreds of Hertsmere and
Stow in com. Suffolk, and of the yearly ferme of Queenhithe in the
city of London.

In 5 Edw. III. upon[372] the king’s expedition into Scotland, he was
again appointed[373] his lieutenant here during his absence. And in 7
Edw. III. had another grant[374] in tail general of the hundreds in
Cornwall; likewise of the town of Lestwithiel, with all the issues and
profits of that county, then belonging to the king, viz. of the ports,
wreck of sea, prizes, and customs, as also of the yearly ferme of the
city of Exeter, with the profits of the water of Sutton, in com.
Devon, and of the stannaries and coinage thereof in that county;
likewise of the river of Dertmouth, with the profits of the mines in
Cornwall, and of the town of Yvelchester in com. Somerset.

In 8 Edw. III. he obtained license[375] for to have a market every
week, upon the Thursday, at his manor of Wintringham in com. Lincoln,
as also for two fairs, one on the eve, day, and morrow of St. Philip
and St. James, and six days next ensuing; the other on the eve and day
of All Saints, and six days following; likewise for two fairs at
Kirketon, the same, one on the eve and day of the translation of St.
Thomas the Martyr, and six days after; the other on the eve and day of
St. Andrew the Apostle, and six days ensuing; and in 9 Edw. III.
was[376] in that expedition then made into Scotland; so likewise in 10
Edw. III. at which time the king having intelligence that the French
had promised to aid the Scots, he marched[377] himself into that realm
with a great army, and fortified the castle of Stryvelyn, with a great
ditch, as also the town of St. Johnston’s, at which place this John
Earl of Cornwall, then[378] also being and falling sick, departed[378]
this life without wife or issue, and was afterwards honourably buried
in St. Edmund’s chapel, within the abbey church of Westminster, where
his monument still remaineth.

THE HUNDREDS OF CORNWALL.


PREFIXED to Tonkin’s MS. of the Parochial History of Cornwall (with
additions in notes by J. Whitaker) are the following notes:

Mem. Mr. Hawkins tells me that there is a camp near Trutheun, in
Bishop’s Wood, not large.

Carew (Edition 1769) fol. 30. The Cornish “pay in most places onely
_fee Morton_ releeses, which is after five markes the whole knight’s
fee (so called of John, Earle first of Morton, then of Cornwall, and
lastly King of this land); whereas, that of _fee Gloucester_ is five
pounds.”

The MS. is in the possession of the Rev. Mr. Pye, Rector of Truro, and
had been recovered by him from imminent destruction, as he told me, at
a house formerly belonging to Mr. Tonkin, and then inhabited by Mr.
Fortescue. A MS. in folio, and another in quarto, had been left in a
cupboard of the kitchen, and applied to culinary purposes. Mr. Pye’s
attention was arrested by seeing part of the quarto wrapping round
some plumb cake; he therefore begged the rest. And he found the Folio
had been used entirely, and the quarto up to the letter P. and page
406. With this account he made me (as I thought) a present of the MS.
I therefore wrote some additions of my own upon the blank places of
it. He afterwards desired me (as I thought) to lend it him awhile. But
when I sent for it back again, he denied he had ever meant to give it
me; and I thought myself obliged in honour to waive all claim to the
property, and to borrow it for transcription. But I then erased my
own remarks from the whole, and have here added many, very many
others.                                      October 26th 1790. J. W.


THE HUNDREDS OF CORNWALL.


LES-NEWITH. New Court. (Dr. Pryce).

I notice this first, because it points out the scope and drift of the
other names. It is so called from the Court of the Hundred, Les-Newydh
(C.) New Court, as being a new Hundred, and this new Court giving name
to the place at which it was kept, near Tintagel.


STRATTON.

So called from Stratton, the seat of its Court, and therefore the head
of the hundred. The hill full of fresh springs of waters (Dr. Pryce).


POWDRE.

So called from the Court House (I apprehend) called (I suppose) Pou
Dre (C.) the house of the province. Pou Dar, the borough, country, or
hundred of Oaks. (Dr. Pryce.)


PIDRE.

Called from its house near the four burrows, which has alwas given
name to the street in Truro, leading towards it, as the house was so
called from its being at the four burrows, Pidyr Carnon perhaps. The
fourth hundred. (Dr. Pryce.)


TRIG.

From its house called Trig (C.) a dwelling, and situate at the ebb of
the sea, or on the sea shore. (Dr. Pryce.)


EAST AND WEST.

Hundreds, formed by the English since the Conquest of Cornwall, and so
named by them from the relative situation of their respective Court
Houses.


KERRIER.

From Curhar (C.) I believe a jail, a prison; the Court House of the
Hundred, I apprehend, having always a prison a jail for it.

The coast or border of the country, Kur-Urian (Dr. Pryce); which
signify, even in Dr. Pryce himself, Kur, the coast or border of a
country, and, Urian, the border, boundary, or limit of a country: so
that Kerrier, thus explained, is the same thing doubly.


PENWITH.

The head of the breach or separation, as the Land’s End is from
Scilly. (Dr. Pryce.)

From its Court House, on the promontory, called Penwith or Land’s End;
and this promontory, so called as Dr. Pryce thinks from Pen, and With
the head of the separation from Scilly; but rather as With (says
Nennius) signifies Divortium, and means the Isle of Wight, the
headland of the Isle opposite, just as this very promontory was called
by the ancients Anti Vesteeum, the point opposed to Vesteeum.

EPITAPH OF RICHARD CAREW, OF ANTONY, ESQ.


The circumstances under which it has happened that no correct copy has
hitherto been printed of the epitaph of Carew, in the church of
Antony, are remarkable. The learned Camden was solicited to supply it
originally, as is shown by his Epistolæ, p. 106; but Richard Carew,
Esq. the son of the deceased, appears to have preferred a more
circumstantial composition, at the same time that he retained several
of Camden’s expressions. Hugh C――――, Esq. who wrote the Life of the
Historian prefixed to the Survey of Cornwall, quoted the epitaph, not
from the monument, but from Camden’s Epistolæ; and he was followed by
Mr. Polwhele and Mr. Lysons, under the impression that it was the
actual inscription on the tomb, nor was the deficiency supplied in the
handsome reprint of Carew’s Survey by Lord de Dunstanville. It is
believed that Mr. C. S. Gilbert was the first to copy it, but very
inaccurately, in his Historical Survey of Cornwall, ii, 388; and the
first perfect copy is the present.

“The verses following were written by Richard Carew, of Antony, esq.
immediately before his death (which happened the sixth of November
1620) as he was at his private prayers in his study (his daily
practice) at four in the afternoon; and being found in his pocket,
were preserved by his grandson Sir Alexander Carew, according to whose
desire they are here set up in memory of him.

  Full thirteen fives of years I toyling have o’erpast
    And in the fourteenth, weary entered am at last.
  While rocks, sands, stormes, and leaks, to take my bark away
    By grief, troubles, sorrows, sickness did essay,
  And yet arriv’d I am not at the port of death,
    The port to everlasting life that openeth.
  My time uncertain, Lord! long certain cannot be,
    That best to mee’s unknown, and only known to thee.
  O! by repentance and amendment, grant that I
    May still live in thy fear――and in thy favour dye.”

Transcriber’s Note:


This book was written in a period when many words and names had not
become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple
spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These
have been left unchanged. Dialect, obsolete and alternative spellings
were left unchanged, as were misspelled words, incorrect use of
homonyms, and sentences without verbs. Words and phrases in italics
are surrounded by underscores, _like this_. Superscripted characters
are preceded by a carat, e.g. Gen^l. The book used hyphens, dots, and
spaces of various lengths to indicate unknown names, dates or words.
For consistency, these were changed to four dashes: ――――. Insular
letters were replaced with contemporary equivalents. In Appendix XI,
abbreviations are sometimes indicated with a macron or tilde above or
through one or more letters. These are shown within brackets, e.g.
[=m] and [~co].

Obvious printing errors, such as backwards, upside down, missing or
partially printed letters, were corrected. Unprinted punctuation and
final stops missing at the end of abbreviations and sentences were
added. Duplicated words were removed, as were duplicate letters after
rejoining words that were hyphenated at the end of a line. Excess spaces
in abbreviations of titles, D.D. and M.D., were removed.

Footnotes were numbered sequentially and moved to the end of the
section in which the anchors occur. Footnotes [139] and [335] are
missing in the original; there are no anchors for footnotes [227],
[230], and [337]. In Appendix XII, many footnotes have multiple
anchors.

Noted, not changed:

  -- The inscription in Greek on page 37 may be missing a word at the
     end of the first line (Βαθύλλου); gamma was substituted for
     upside-down lambda in line 5.
  -- On page 193 in Appendix V, there is no subparagraph 3.
  -- Page numbers missing in Appendix X are also missing in the original
     of Tanner’s Notitia monastica.
  -- “1422” should read “1242” “…in anno 1422, (26 Hen. III.)…”

The list of errata at the end of the book appears only in Volume 1; it
was added for the convenience of readers.


Adjustments to the Index:

Changes:

  Angelo, St., ... descended fram to descended from.
  page number for DULO parish, from i. 216 to i. 316.
  initial I to S. ... Enys, John, ii. 93, 243. J. S.

Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will
be renamed.

Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright
law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works,
so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United
States without permission and without paying copyright
royalties. Special rules, set forth in the General Terms of Use part
of this license, apply to copying and distributing Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works to protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG™
concept and trademark. Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark,
and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following
the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use
of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for
copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very
easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation
of derivative works, reports, performances and research. Project
Gutenberg eBooks may be modified and printed and given away—you may
do practically ANYTHING in the United States with eBooks not protected
by U.S. copyright law. Redistribution is subject to the trademark
license, especially commercial redistribution.

        you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
        does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg™
        License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
        copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue
        all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg™
        works.
    
    • You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of

from the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of

forth in Section 3 below.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™
electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the “Right
of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg™ electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
without further opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the
agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or
limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the
remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in
accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the

electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses,
including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or
additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any
Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification
number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website
and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
