The beautifully landscaped and well stocked gardens extend to approximately ⅓ of an acre and comprise a broad paved terrace adjacent to the southern side of the house with tiered lawns and well planted flower and shrub borders ascending the gentle slope in front of the property. To the rear is a large vegetable garden with a workshop/implement store and fuel store together with a chicken house and three greenhouses. There is an ornamental pond in the more formal gardens and a wild pond near the vegetable garden. The property sides onto woodlands with a stream and leat running past the house providing the wonderful sound of running water. On the southern side of the property there is a field which is under separate ownership and extends to approximately 1.3 acres. The owner of this field has indicated that it could be made available to the purchasers of Geor Chapel, if required and by separate negotiation. Adjacent to the lane there are gravelled parking areas sufficient for 4-5 vehicles and these also give access to an attached double length garage which has an internal door at the rear into the house. 4 Ref: LCAA7299 LOCATION Gilly Vean is a tiny and very attractive rural hamlet situated between the bustling port of Falmouth and the city of Truro (Cornwall’s capital). Nearby villages of Ponsanooth and Stithians provide shops to cover day to day requirements, including post offices and local inns. The busy port of Falmouth provides access to some of the best day sailing waters in the country with the estuary waters of the Carrick Roads and the river and creeks providing a wonderful network of waterways to explore. The yacht club in Falmouth hosts races throughout the summer in the bay. Falmouth has an eclectic mix of local trader shops and some bigger department stores, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and inns. The city of Truro provides a wider array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities commensurate with Cornwall’s capital and the Hall for Cornwall provides theatrical and entertainment events throughout the year. Truro and Falmouth both have mainline stations with a direct link to London Paddington and approximate travel time of 4½ hours. The property enjoys easy access through the nearby lanes out to the A30 (Cornwall’s main arterial road), which remains dual carriageway all the way northwards to Exeter where it joins with the national motor network and southwards provides swift access further into Cornwall to both north and south coastal resorts. To the north west lies Newquay Airport providing daily shuttle flights to London, a variety of national airports and an ever increasing number of European airports. 5 Ref: LCAA7299 THE ACCOMMODATION COMPRISES (all floor plans and dimensions are approximate) Granite step and outside courtesy lights flank a part etched, part stained glass panelled timber front door which opens onto the:- ENTRANCE PORCH.

  • Gwennap War Memorial
    GWENNAP WAR MEMORIAL Compiled by Barbara Wilkinson The War Memorial at Gwennap was unveiled on Saturday 17 July 1920 to commemorate the dead of the First World War, and the ceremony was reported in the West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser on Thursday 22 July 1920. Other local newspapers also carried the story. GWENAPP’S CROSS UNVEILED BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT The Lord‐Lieutenant of Cornwall (Mr. J.C. Williams), on Saturday, unveiled the memorial erected by the parishioners of Gwennap in memory of 16 men from the parish who made the supreme sacrifice in the war. The memorial consists of a beautiful cross of Cornish granite, standing eleven feet high, which has been placed on a piece of elevated ground near the boundary wall of the parish churchyard. The inscription reads:‐ “To the honour of those who at the call of King and Country gave up all that was dear to them that others might live in freedom, 1914‐1918” Underneath are the following names: Harry Powys Rogers, James Phillips, Thomas Collins, James Gleed, Arthur Prowse, William Trenery, William Hitchins, Richard Ford, Thomas Carbis, William Tregoning, William Collins, John Hooker, Gilbert Pelmear, James Annear, Philip Russell, George Pelmear.

  • The Micro-Geography of Nineteenth Century Cornish Mining?
    MINING THE DATA: WHAT CAN A QUANTITATIVE APPROACH TELL US ABOUT THE MICRO-GEOGRAPHY OF NINETEENTH CENTURY CORNISH MINING? Bernard Deacon (in Philip Payton (ed.), Cornish Studies Eighteen, University of Exeter Press, 2010, pp.15-32) For many people the relics of Cornwall’s mining heritage – the abandoned engine house, the capped shaft, the re-vegetated burrow – are symbols of Cornwall itself. They remind us of an industry that dominated eighteenth and nineteenth century Cornwall and that still clings on stubbornly to the margins of a modern suburbanised Cornwall. The remains of this once thriving industry became the raw material for the successful World Heritage Site bid of 2006. Although the prime purpose of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site team is to promote the mining landscapes of Cornwall and west Devon and the Cornish mining ‘brand’, the WHS website also recognises the importance of the industrial and cultural landscapes created by Cornish mining in its modern historical phase from 1700 to 1914.1 Ten discrete areas are inscribed as world heritage sites, stretching from the St Just mining district in the far west and spilling over the border into the Tamar Valley and Tavistock in the far east. However, despite the use of innovative geographic information system mapping techniques, visitors to the WHS website will struggle to gain a sense of the relative importance of these mining districts in the history of the industry. Despite a rich bibliography associated with the history of Cornish mining the historical geography of the industry is outlined only indirectly.2 The favoured historiographical approach has been to adopt a qualitative narrative of the relentless cycle of boom and bust in nineteenth century Cornwall.

  • MINUTES of MEETING HELD at FROGPOOL CHAPEL ROOMS on 24TH SEPTEMBER 2009 Present
    Gwennap Parish Council MINUTES OF MEETING HELD AT FROGPOOL CHAPEL ROOMS ON 24TH SEPTEMBER 2009 Present. Cllr Furnish (Chairman), Cllr R Humble, Cllr M Padmore, Cllr P Roscorla, Cllr R Snell Apologies The Police, Cllr Barton, Cornwall Cllr Plummer Also present : Mr Bawden, Mrs Wharton, Ms Ward PUBLIC CLINIC 1. The Clerk had received a complaint from a resident regarding the poor standard of flail trimming from Pulla Bridge to Trehaddle. The ditches were now full of debris, and following the lengthy drainage works last year, it would be worthless unless the drains were now cleared again. The Clerk would write to Highways, also clarifying the criteria for which roads get trimmed, and which we expected farmers to maintain. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST 09/063 Cllr Padmore declared a personal interest on anything SITA related. Cllr Humble declared a personal interest on anything related to the caravans at Pulla Bridge. Cllr Furnish declared a personal interest in Wheal Maid matters, items 13 & 14 under correspondence and Footpath 43.. PREVIOUS MINUTES. 09/064 It was RESOLVED that the previous minutes be signed as a correct record of events. ARISING OUT OF THE MINUTES. 09/065 All matters requiring follow-up action were on the current agenda for discussion. WHEAL MAID 09/066 1. The Clerk had replaced one sign during his monthly inspection of the valley. Cllr Furnish would clear debris accumulated at the exit grill of the culvert. 2. Cornwall Council’s Minerals and Waste Management section had written following their recent visit to the site. They accepted that it would not be prudent to commence tree planting of the quarry site before the EA report had been received, but would welcome the opportunity to discus the planting scheme with the Parish Council beforehand.

It has been transcribed, checked and validated by the volunteers of the Cornwall Online Census Project, the Cornish arm of the Free Census project. The original records are held by The National Archives and this transcription is done with their permission. Image copies of the original returns can be viewed on film, fiche or CDROM from commercial suppliers and at many research facilities around the world. This study contains a full transcription of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall—a snapshot of the people and places of Cornwall on the night of April 5th, 1891. The file names are the PRO piece number code (without punctuation). About UK Census Returns About Free Census (FreeCEN) was started early in 2000 with a pilot project for the 1891 census returns for Devon. The aim of Free Census is to transcribe all the UK 19th century census returns. It is part of FreeUKGEN and is a sister project to FreeBMD and FreeREG. The intention is that all three of the UK primary sources for the family historian will be online and “free to view.” Six months after the Devon project started, the Cornwall 1891 commenced. Most English and Welsh counties are now covered for the 1891, with the Scottish projects concentrating on the 1841. There are several English 1861 projects, using commercially produced discs and two English 1841 projects, including Cornwall.

  • Out of Devon: the Eastlake Surname Comes Of
    Out of Devon: The Eastlake Surname Comes of Age Summary Beginning with an exploration of the origin and meaning of the Eastlake surname, the evolution of the name and its spread through southwest England is followed to the end of the 18th century. By that time, the name was sufficiently established to enable the global distribution seen today. A preliminary map of the surname’s evolution worldwide is presented. This paper was prepared for the Advanced One-Name Studies Course provided by Pharos Teaching and Tutoring Ltd and sponsored by the Guild of One-Name Studies. In the Beginning In 1377, Thomas Estlake’s oats were trampled in the Bratton Parish of the ancient Lyfton Hundred.1 Bratton Clovelly, the modern name for Bratton, is a small Devon village nestled in the southwestern peninsula of England. The area has a long history; ‘Baldwin’ the Sheriff held the manor of Bratton in 1086.2 Structures still stand today that my early ancestors might recognise. The Church of St Mary the Virgin has overlooked the village since Norman times and the area is still Figure 1. Bratton Clovelly 2011 characterised by substantial farmhouses, some dating from the early 15th century. The great Dartmoor rises just east of Bratton Clovelly. In later centuries, the natural resources of this strikingly rugged landscape would provide the livelihoods of Eastlake families as they moved from farming to mining occupations. It is not surprising to find several ‘East Lake’ farms in this part of Devon. However, one large ‘Eastlake’ dairy farm standing just a few miles from the village centre captures the imagination, set in an idyllic protected position amongst the rolling countryside.

  • Cornish Mineral Reference Manual
    Cornish Mineral Reference Manual Peter Golley and Richard Williams April 1995 First published 1995 by Endsleigh Publications in association with Cornish Hillside Publications © Endsleigh Publications 1995 ISBN 0 9519419 9 2 Endsleigh Publications Endsleigh House 50 Daniell Road Truro, Cornwall TR1 2DA England Printed in Great Britain by Short Run Press Ltd, Exeter. Introduction Cornwall's mining history stretches back 2,000 years; its mineralogy dates from comparatively recent times. In his Alphabetum Minerale (Truro, 1682) Becher wrote that he knew of no place on earth that surpassed Cornwall in the number and variety of its minerals. Hogg's 'Manual of Mineralogy' (Truro 1825) is subtitled 'in wich [sic] is shown how much Cornwall contributes to the illustration of the science', although the manual is not exclusively based on Cornish minerals. It was Garby (TRGSC, 1848) who was the first to offer a systematic list of Cornish species, with locations in his 'Catalogue of Minerals'. Garby was followed twenty-three years later by Collins' A Handbook to the Mineralogy of Cornwall and Devon' (1871; 1892 with addenda, the latter being reprinted by Bradford Barton of Truro in 1969). Collins followed this with a supplement in 1911. (JRIC Vol. xvii, pt.2.). Finally the torch was taken up by Robson in 1944 in the form of his 'Cornish Mineral Index' (TRGSC Vol. xvii), his amendments and additions were published in the same Transactions in 1952. All these sources are well known, but the next to appear is regrettably much less so. it would never the less be only just to mention Purser's 'Minerals and locations in S.W.
