It provides a 2 Celtic Cross microcosm of Cornwall’s distinctive history and 3 Saints’ Way heritage, from the Bronze Age through the first 4 View Point millennium to medieval Cornwall, with its Celtic 5 Tregawne Barrow language, and via the industrial revolution to the 6 St Clement’s 5 roots of a modern rural community. 7 Cross at the Withiel House 4 8 Cornish Celtic Way The settlement dates back to pre-Norman times and had 25 households when it was surveyed for the Domesday Book in 1086. Withiel also has 3 links with 4th century Irish saint, St Uvel, indicating that there was a settlement here in the Dark Ages. ST CLEMENT’S CHURCH While the Church is a Grade One listed, the wall, gateway and privy on the south side of churchyard 6 are listed Grade Two. Withiel may be unique in having a listed loo! Historically the church and 7 Manor of Withiel belonged to the Monastery of Bodmin, from whom they became alienated in 8 1538. Withiel church was rebuilt in granite in the 15th and 16th centuries; it has been re-roofed and equipped with a new organ this century. 2 1 INDUSTRIAL WITHIEL Nature has reclaimed much of the evidence of Withiel’s rich mining history. Four iron mines operated around Withiel in Victorian times – Wheal James, Wheal Retire, Wheal Colbiggan and Wheal Rosewarrick. Tens of thousands of tons of iron ore were raised here, along with china clay, manganese, ochre and much more. Traces of the railway on which thousands of tons of tin and iron were hauled from Ruthernbridge to the wharves at Wadebridge may still be seen..

  • 1844 Jan 8 Settlement Statement of Ezekiel Menear, St Breock
    8th January 1844 Statement of Ezekiel Menear Ezekiel Menear states that I was born as I have heard and believe at Burlawn in St Breock in May 1794, where my Father and Mother John and Ann Menear lived. I remained with them until I was about 12 or 13 years old. I then went to St Merryn as a servant with William Andrew of Towan. I lived with him two years for 30/- the first year and 50/- the second. My Mother made the bargain. My Father and Mother received my wages. I then came home for some time. I then went to Withiel to live with Thomas Julian of Trenance. I lived with him as a servant two years my father made the bargain for £4 the first year and five the second my father received the wages. I then went to live with Grace Tucker at Black Hay in Withiel. I lived there twelve Months for £6 a year my father made the bargain and received my wages and provided me with clothes. I then came home and remained home until about Christmas 1812 when I went to Egloshayle and worked with John Lobb a Carpenter about 6 weeks after I went there I agreed with John Lobb to go as an apprentice with him and on the twentieth day of February 1813 I being at the time unmarried and without child or children I bound myself by Indenture of that date which I now produce. I served him under the Indenture for about nine Months during which time I resided and slept more than forty nights in the parish of Egloshayle.
