An Introduction to Cornish Place Names
. * AN INTRODUCTION TO CORNISH PLACE NAMES \ BY P. A. S. POOL, M.A., F.S.A. Second (revised) edition 1971 Obtainable from: ' The Author at 37 Morrab Road, Penzance, Cornwall Price 6p V ‘V CORNISH PLACE NAMES P. A. s. POOL C.ORNISH is a Celtic language, closely akin to Welsh and Breton, which remained the ordinary spoken language of most Cornish people until about 1500 and of a steadily decreasing minority until the late 18th century, its last survival being confined to small areas of the Penwith and Lizard peninsulas in the far west of Cornwall. Dolly Pentreath of Mousehole, who died in 1777, was not, as is commonly believed, the last to speak Cornish, but was certainly one of the last native speakers, and by 1800 at the very latest Cornish had finally died out as a spoken language, its revival as such being then more than a century in the future and totally unforeseen. It never- theless survived in traditionally remembered sayings and phrases, in hundreds of dialect words, but principally in thousands of names of places. Not only every village and farm, but also every field and prominent natural feature had its own name, and in the far west where the language survived the longest these names are nearly all Cornish, the few English ones being mostly modern. Generally, the further east in Cornwall one goes, the earlier Cornish gave‘ place to English and the smaller is the proportion of Cornish names, until in Tamar-side parishes they are a small minority. In the east, Cornish names often contain certain words as they were spelt at an earlier stage in the development of the language than those in the west, re- fiecting the earlier date at which use of the language ceased; thus nans, valley, is almost invariably found in names as nance in the west and mmt (the earlier form) in the east. -
DR. BORLASE's ACCOUNT of LUDGVAN by P
DR. BORLASE'S ACCOUNT OF LUDGVAN By P. A. S. POOL, M.A. (Gwas Galva) R. WILLIAM BORLASE at one time intended to write a D parochial history of Cornwall, and for that purpose collected a large MS. volume of Parochial Memoranda, which is now pre• served at the British Museum (Egerton MSS. 2657). Although of great interest and importance, this consists merely of disjointed notes and is in no sense a finished product. But among Borlase's MSS. at the Penzance Library is a systematic and detailed account, compiled in 1770, of the parish of Ludgvan, of which he was Rector from 1722 until his death in 1772. This has never been published, and the present article gives a summary of its contents, with extracts. The account starts with a discussion of the derivation of the parish name, Borlase doubting the common supposition " that a native saint by his holiness and miracles distinguished it from other districts by his own celebrated name," and concluding that " the existence of such a person as St. Ludgvan . may well be accounted groundless." His own view was that the parish was called after the Manor of Ludgvan, which in turn derived its name from the Lyd or Lid, the name given in Harrison's Description of Britain (1577) to the stream running through the parish. It is noteworthy that the older Ludgvan people still, at the present day, pronounce the name " Lidjan." Borlase next gives the descent of the manor, the Domesday LUDUAM, through the families of Ferrers, Champernowne, Brook, Blount and Paulet. -

From Your Own Correspondents an Update
1 FROM YOUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS AN UPDATE FROM CORNWALL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY’S AREA REPRESENTATIVES AUGUST 2017 THIS MONTH’S STORIES: HISTORIC ENGLAND QUICKLY ON THE SCENE TO DEAL WITH DAMAGED ST BURYAN CROSS Also: ñ PROTECTION AT LAST FOR HISTORIC CAMBORNE CHAPEL ñ NEGLECTED FALMOUTH GRAVEYARD GAINS FRIENDS ñ HOW HEALTHY ARE OUR HILLFORTS? On 9th August Andrew Langdon and Ann Preston-Jones received the worrying news that a Scheduled Monument near St Buryan had been seriously damaged. St Buryan Parish Council reported that Boskenna Gate Cross, which stands very close to the edge of the B3315 road, opposite the entrance to Boskenna in St Buryan, had been damaged. Andrew writes: The cross had been fractured at the neck and repaired during the Victorian period and it appears it has taken a glancing blow from a vehicle and the head has been knocked off at 2 the existing joint. The road is narrow and if two vehicles were passing one may have pulled in a little too tight. Examining the remains it is clear that there was little mortar in the joint and the iron pin was corroding, we could only find a very small abrasion on the side of the head and no other damage. Boskenna Gate Cross before the incident Ann Preston-Jones (Historic England Heritage at Risk Protection Officer) quickly visited (see first photograph) and arranged for a local farmer on the parish council to collect the cross-head for safe keeping until funds are available to have the cross re-pinned with a stainless steel dowel. -
