If you wanted to celebrate Whit Monday, you could pop over the channel to Belgium, Holland, France or Germany where the calendar of national holidays follows the church calendar and so 9 June is a national holiday in those countries. Here in Britain, the late Spring Bank Holiday was detached from its religious origins in 1971, the same year as the introduction of decimal currency in place of pounds, shillings and pence. There was a sense in the late 1960s and early 1970s that the country needed to modernise and tidying up the holiday calendar was a part of that general feeling. Two generations later, there’s not much of a connection with the long tradition of public celebrations that marked Whitsun. In many parts of England there were outdoor religious services, marches, walks and festivities of various kinds. For many people in towns, this was the first opportunity to share time away from work when evenings were lighter and the weather was warmer, if not always drier. That sense of greater freedom to share with others that went along with Whitsun was also at the heart of the religious celebration. Whit Sunday or Pentecost (the name that’s more commonly used these days) marks the story in the Acts of the Apostles of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the followers of Jesus. It had remarkable signs with people able to engage with one another across boundaries of language, nationality or culture. At the heart of their engagement was a joyful sense that God was present in unseen ways in the lives of ordinary people encouraging and enabling them to live fruitfully and in the service of one another. The Church has been inspired by this witness and down the ages since has kept Whit Sunday or Pentecost as a special day of celebration. In Flushing and Mylor, we have been marking this by a joining together of Methodists and Anglicans and other Christian denominations in an open air service. This year is Mylor’s turn so the service will be held at the Playing Field at 10.30am on Sunday 8 June. Everyone is welcome to join in - we’ll be in the Ord Statter if it’s raining. 4 Parish of St Mylor: Regular Services St Mylor with All Saints, Mylor Bridge www.stmylor.org.uk Sundays 8am Holy Communion* St Mylor 9am Holy Communion All Saints 10.30am Parish Eucharist St Mylor 4pm Evening Prayer* All Saints *these services use the 1662 Book of Common Prayer Wednesdays 10am Holy Communion All Saints For feast day services and other occasions, see church notice boards Enquiries about baptisms, weddings or funerals should be made to Revd Jeff James on 01326 374408 or at [email protected] The Churchwarden, Judy Menage, can be contacted on 01326 259909 or at [email protected] Friends of St Mylor Church Registered charity number 1129030 ‘Music for Strings’ Played By St Mewan Sinfonia Sunday 22 June St Mylor Church 7.30 pm – Tickets £7 (including Refreshments and Programme) Available from Committee Members 01209 820357 or 01326 373128 Raising Funds for St Mylor & All Saints 5 Church and Chapel News Church News: Our combined service for Pentecost will take place on Sunday 8 June at 10.30am on the playing field, or in the Ord Statter Pavilion if wet, when we join with St Peters, Flushing and Mylor and Flushing Methodist chapels to celebrate this great Christian festival. Our all age Service of the Word continues on the last Sunday of each month, except August and December. This month it takes place at 10.30am on 29 June at St Mylor and all are welcome to attend. We meet at 9am for breakfast in Café Mylor prior to this service. Jeff, our Parish Priest, led a service of evensong in April, for Falmouth and Penryn Churches together, when we were joined by congregations from a variety of local churches and we were led in our singing by a combined choir which included members from St Gluvias, King Charles the Martyr, Mabe and All Saints, Falmouth churches. At the end of June we host a service of evening prayer for Carnmarth South Deanery. We were delighted to raise £117 for the Playing Fields from our Tombola Stall at the Mylor May Fair. Judy Menage Chapel news: On Friday 2 May Vera held a very successful Coffee Morning at her home, Lord's Piece. Many friends arrived for a chat, coffee and browsed among her fantastic geraniums, cake stall, bric -a-brac, and had a go on the raffle. Everyone gave generously and raised £414 for Chapel funds. What a fantastic effort. Vera would like to thank all who helped or attended on that Friday. After a very successful start in April, our spring cleaning project continues with walls being refurbished and painting underway. Much is still to be done but a band of willing helpers are carrying on the good work. Dates for your Diary: Sunday 8 June - Pentecost Service combined with our Anglican friends at the Playing Field Saturday 28 June Sponsored Walk and Cream Tea. 29 June 10.30am Sunday School Anniversary led by the children. Vyv Curnow 6 7 Community News and Views Parish Council meeting and the Annual Parish Assembly: was held on Monday 12 May at Mylor Parish Hall. The Chairman's report was given; this indicated a busy year and an increase in responsibilities being passed from Cornwall Council to the Parish Council. It was voted for John Symons to remain as Chairman and Martin Jewell as Vice Chairman. During public participation questions were asked about the possibility of turning off or dimming street lights in the parish at certain times of the night. Cornwall Council is carrying out a trial in other areas and we will wait for a report. Councillor Polglase is looking into the parish lighting scenario and similarly Councillor Whiteley is updating the Council on bus developments. The Parish Work Party continues to be organized by Councillor Robson; the pot holes in the Leats Car Park are next on the action list. They will be temporarily filled and resurfacing will be done at a later date. The Parish Council has agreed to join the Cornwall Council Local Maintenance Partnership, and cut the parish footpaths. This should start in the near future. The parish council will be responsible for cutting the ‘upgrowth’ and local land owners will care for the ‘side growth’. Between us we hope to keep our footpaths in good condition, so everyone can enjoy walking around our beautiful parish. A new, full-colour Mylor and Flushing Footpaths Map has been produced and is now on sale at several outlets in the parish. Concerns were raised again regarding the use of land (‘Leisure Plots’) adjacent to Halwyn, on the Mylor side of Restronguet Creek.

I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other university. Signature…………………………………………. 1 2 I would like to acknowledge my gratitude for the support and financial assistance provided to me by Cornwall Heritage Trust, Cornwall Gardens Trust and the National Trust. I would like to thank my colleagues at the National Trust for their willingness to impart their knowledge and experience, and particularly to John Lanyon for his continued personal and professional support and for granting me the time and space to carry out this work. I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to my supervisors, Dr Garry Tregidga and Dr Nicola Whyte, for their invaluable support, insights and guidance. 3 4 Abstract Trelissick walled kitchen garden currently lies dormant at the heart of a thriving National Trust property on the outskirts of Truro in Cornwall. Created in the 18th century, this highly productive space fed and adorned the estate throughout its ever- evolving lifespan and numerous proprietors. The mid-20th century saw its decline and enforced state of redundancy, mirroring the fate met by many similar sites across the nation.
