  • THE TITHINGS of CORNWALL by P. A. S. Pool, M.A., F.S.A
    275 THE TITHINGS OF CORNWALL by P. A. S. Pool, M.A., F.S.A. Tithing, Parish and Manor The object of this study is to investigate the organisation of medieval local government within the nine ancient hundreds of Cornwall, by listing and identifying their tithings, which were the smallest units of local admini• stration until superseded by the adoption of the equivalent ecclesiastical unit, the parish, for civil purposes. The County of Cornwall largely coincided in area with the Archdeaconry of Cornwall (one of the four archdeaconries of the Diocese of Exeter). Within its area the Hundreds of Penwith, Kerrier, Powder, Pyder and West largely coincided with the Deaneries of the same names. Only in north-east Cornwall did hundred and deanery boundaries differ markedly; the Hundreds of Stratton, Lesnewth and Trigg (themselves sub-divisions of the Domesday Hundred of Stratton) were divided between only two deaneries, Trigg Major and Trigg Minor, the boundary between which passed through the Hundred of Lesnewth; and the northernmost part of the Hundred of East was in the deanery of Trigg Major. But this close correlation between county and archdeaconry, and between the majority of the hundreds and deaneries, did not occur at the lowest level, between the tithings and parishes. There were many more tithings than parishes; 308 tithings were recorded in 1284,1 whereas the number of parishes (always difficult to reckon exactly because of the doubtful status of some chapelries) was about 200; Table 1 shows that the number of tithings was greater in each hundred except East, and often substantially so: TABLE 1 Hundred Tithings, 1284 Parishes Penwith 27 24 Kerrier 31 25 Pyder 40 21 Powder 53 34 Trigg 36 12 Lesnewth 22 17 Stratton 23 11 J East 35 O West 41 19 308 198 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I record my profound thanks to those colleagues who have placed their know• ledge and advice generously at my disposal for this work, namely Mr.

Introduction • UK National rate of change in abundance: 72% decline (1976-2017) • Legal protection: Section 41 Species of Principal Importance (NERC Act 2006) • Conservation status: BC UK threat priority (2016) – High. BC UK Conservation Priority (2016) - action necessary. IUCN categorisation is Vulnerable in UK. • South West RCS Threat Priority - Medium. South West RCS Conservation Priority - action necessary but less urgent. Grayling UK Distribution (source: Butterfly Conservation) 3 The Grayling Butterfly in Cornwall 2020 Review The Grayling Hipparchia semele is the largest of the UK butterflies in the subfamily Satyrinae (the ‘Browns’) and perhaps the most challenging to see and identify. Whilst the open wing markings have delicate light brown panels with pairs of eye markings, this delightful part of the butterfly is only usually seen during its courtship and whilst in flight (which is distinctive with its loops and glides).
