Extract from Kelly’s Directory of Cornwall, 1893 (pages 1261‐1262) ROCHE Roche is a parish and village, 1 mile south from Victoria station on the Newquay branch of the Great Western railway and 5½ miles north from St Austell, in the Mid division of the county, western division of the hundred of Powder, petty sessional division of Powder East, union and county court district of St Austell, rural deanery of St Austell, archdeaconry of Cornwall and diocese of Truro. A little to the west of Hensbarrow, in this parish, rises the river Fal, which, after a course of 20 miles, 4 of which are tidal, falls into the well‐known harbour that takes its name. The river Par also rises here. The church of St Gomonda is a plain but substantial rectangular building of stone with a north transept, and was rebuilt, with the exception of the Perpendicular tower, in 1822; the latter, of three stages and embattled, contains a clock and 6 bells, all cast in 1819; there is a tablet to a former rector in the transept, and a fine old Norman font; in 1890 the church was restored at a cost of £1,900, under the direction of the late Mr J.D. Sedding, architect, and now affords 302 sittings: in the churchyard is an ancient cross, 7 feet 8 inches high, and 2 feet 4 inches wide, with a rudely shaped head pierced with four round apertures. The register of baptisms dates from the year 1572; marriages, 1575; burials, 1612. The living is a rectory, net value of tithe in 1892 £339, net yearly value £330, including 38½ acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the Rev. J. Thornton for three turns and J. Rashleigh Esq. for one turn, and held since 1885 by the Rev. Augustus Vansittart Thornton M.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge. The Wesleyan chapel, built in 1835, was renovated in 1877, at a cost of £700; the Bible Christian chapel at Tresayes, was erected in 1883 on the site of a former building. There are also Bible Christian chapels at Tregoss, Belowda, Mount Pleasant and at Tremodrett. Within a short distance of the village, on the property of Viscount Falmouth, is a remarkable group of rocks – consisting of huge masses of granite towering one above the other to the height of 100 feet: on the highest point are the ruins of the ancient chapel of St Michael, formed by the adaptation of masonry to the natural rock, and probably the habitation of some anchorite; it consisted, when perfect, of two rooms, one over the other, the lower measuring 12 feet by 9, with a window at the east end; in the upper room, or chapel proper, was a larger and more elegant window; steps cut into the rock lead from the cell to the chapel; the “Holy Well” lies on the north side of the Bodmin and Truro road and about ¼ mile to the west of the Victoria Inn; the structure, consisting of a single deep pointed arch, with some adjacent portions, is of granite, 5 feet 4 inches in height and 3 feet 4 inches wide; there was formerly a granite figure of a saint on the roof, and near the well a chapel, but both have now disappeared; the spring still maintains its reputation, and before sunrise on Holy Thursday, and the two following Thursdays, it was the custom of the peasantry to frequent the well and invoke the blessing of the saint by an offering of pins, which were sometimes bent and then thrown into the water. The Temperance Hall was erected in 1884, as a memorial to Thomas Pearce Esq. M.A. and will hold about 250 persons. Fairs are held on the day before Holy Thursday, the third Tuesday in July, and the second Tuesday in October. The parish feast is held on the first Sunday after the first Tuesday in June. China clay is dug out in immense quantities from this neighbourhood, and forms a large article of commerce in this and adjoining parishes. Viscount Falmouth is lord of the manor. The principal landowners are the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe P.C., L.L who is lord of the manor of Tremodrett, Lord Robartes, John Tremayne Esq. D.L., J.P. of Heligan, and Jonathan Rashleigh Esq. B.A., D.L., J.P. of Menabilly, Tywardreath. The soil is peat; subsoil, disintegrated granite and clay slate. The chief crops are barley and oats. The area is 5,014 acres; rateable value £7,344; the population in 1891 was 1.626. Parish Clerk, Richard MEWTON Post, M.O. & T.O., S.B. & Annuity & Insurance Office (Railway Sub‐Office.

    Round Walks Inland Tregoss Crossing, Belowda Beacon and Castle-an-Dinas 6.30 miles Page 1 **************************************************************************************** Start from the small car park on the old A30 near Tregoss railway level crossing at 96074/60981. Tregoss Crossing Car Park to Belowda – 0.85 miles Set off slightly N of E on the path alongside the old A30. After 135 yards go R and L on a properly made path, slightly N of E, through a horse stile and continue with hedge and old A30 to your L and scrub and the Newquay to Par railway to your R. At 580 yards, at 96592/61034, with a kissing gate to a path to Tregoss to your R, go L across a small wooden bridge over a stream. Cross the old A30 with care to a Public Footpath sign and 4 steps down to a fairly high wooden stile (beware barbed wire) to marshy moorland. An obvious (most of the way) path crosses this stretch of marshy moorland, initially overall roughly NNE, then overall roughly N, dabs of yellow paint generally marking the way. This path is classified by Cornwall Council as ‘silver’ but actually merits a rating of less then bronze. At 625 yards cross a tiny clapper bridge, then boggy tussocks for a short way. At 655 yards you are veering slightly away from a barbed wire fence to your R. At 695 yards cross another small clapper with an iron railing to more boggy ground. Continue to a low granite stile leading to wooden duck-boards to some slightly firmer ground.

Such studies have been published by experts in tho;e p:nticular fields and can be consulted by those for who" they ore of special interest. The present study is an attempt to fe-assess the poem in its twel fth­ century context sa that the reader may be able to visu:l1 ise the story as the author conceived it and as it wO'Jld have been received by its contemporary audience, but it must not be considered as a comprehensive commentary on the poem.

Beroul's romance belongs to the second half of the twel fth century when literacy was rare o'Jtside clerical circles and story-telling for secular entertainment was largely in the hands of minstrels. The te rm 'minstrel' has been loosely used to cover a wide range of persons.

    Cornwall Childminders EYMES Project Case Study Written by Ann Stott with Contributions from Jenny Crow and Childminders in Cornwall

    Cornwall Music Service Trust Early Years Music Education Service Phase 4 Research Project. Cornwall Childminders EYMES Project Case Study Written by Ann Stott with contributions from Jenny Crow and Childminders in Cornwall “To what extent can monthly Music Activities impact on Childminders practice ​ and their recognition of and response to children’s innate musicality.” In response to enquiries from childminders attending our EYMES CPD events, the CMST EYMES Cornwall Childminders Project was formed. This supported Childminders and their children across Cornwall and was fully funded by CMST EYMES. Ann Stott (Lead for CMST EYMES) collaborated with Mary-Ann Trethewey (Early Years ​ Childcare Support Assistant, Childminder Support, Cornwall Council) to identify Childminders in Cornwall interested in being part of the project. Six groups of Childminders across the county took part in the project. Some groups already met on a regular basis, others were formed specifically to take part in the project. Some of the groups met in Family Hubs for free whilst others collectively paid for a venue. The groups were located in Launceston, Bodmin, St Austell, St Columb, Falmouth and Porthleven. They ranged in size from 3 Childminders and 5 children to 11 Childminders and 26 children. The children in the groups had an age range of 6 months to 36 months and came from a variety of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. The Project Ann Stott (CMST EYMES Lead) delivered the project across the six groups, assisted by Jenny Crow (CMST EYMES Music Leader) at Porthleven from January 2020. Ann met with each group in July 2019 to outline the project delivery and research question.

  • Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management

    Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management

    Appendix A - Responsibilities for Flood Risk Management The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has overall responsibility for flood risk management in England. Their aim is to reduce flood risk by: • discouraging inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding. • encouraging adequate and cost effective flood warning systems. • encouraging adequate technically, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable flood defence measures. The Government’s Foresight Programme has recently produced a report called Future Flooding, which warns that the risk of flooding will increase between 2 and 20 times over the next 75 years. The report produced by the Office of Science and Technology has a long-term vision for the future (2030 – 2100), helping to make sure that effective strategies are developed now. Sir David King, the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government concluded: “continuing with existing policies is not an option – in virtually every scenario considered (for climate change), the risks grow to unacceptable levels. Secondly, the risk needs to be tackled across a broad front. However, this is unlikely to be sufficient in itself. Hard choices need to be taken – we must either invest in more sustainable approaches to flood and coastal management or learn to live with increasing flooding”. In response to this, Defra is leading the development of a new strategy for flood and coastal erosion for the next 20 years. This programme, called “Making Space for Water” will help define and set the agenda for the Government’s future strategic approach to flood risk. Within this strategy there will be an overall approach to the assessing options through a strong and continuing commitment to CFMPs and SMPs within a broader planning framework which will include River Basin Management Plans prepared under the Water Framework Directive and Integrated Coastal Zone Management.
