Notes on the Parish of Mylor, Cornwall
C.i i ^v /- NOTES ON THE PARISH OF MYLOR /v\. (crt MVI.OK CII r RCII. -SO UIH I'OKCil AND CROSS O !• ST. MlLoKIS. [NOTES ON THE PARISH OF MYLOR CORNWALL. BY HUGH P. OLIVEY M.R.C.S. Uaunton BARNICOTT &- PEARCE, ATHEN^UM PRESS 1907 BARNICOTT AND PEARCE PRINTERS Preface. T is usual to write something as a preface, and this generally appears to be to make some excuse for having written at all. In a pre- face to Tom Toole and his Friends — a very interesting book published a few years ago, by Mrs. Henry Sandford, in which the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth, together with the Wedgwoods and many other eminent men of that day figure,—the author says, on one occasion, when surrounded by old letters, note books, etc., an old and faithful servant remon- " " strated with her thus : And what for ? she " demanded very emphatically. There's many a hundred dozen books already as nobody ever reads." Her hook certainly justified her efforts, and needed no excuse. But what shall I say of this } What for do 1 launch this little book, which only refers to the parish ot Mylor ^ vi Preface. The great majority of us are convinced that the county of our birth is the best part of Eng- land, and if we are folk country-born, that our parish is the most favoured spot in it. With something of this idea prompting me, I have en- deavoured to look up all available information and documents, and elaborate such by personal recollections and by reference to authorities. -

• Knowing Our Boundaries • Keen Eyes at Old Kea
1 AN UPDATE FROM CORNWALL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY’S AREA REPRESENTATIVES Any opinions or errors in these articles are those of the authors and must not be assumed to be those of Cornwall Archaeological Society. JUNE 2019 Issue 31 This month: KNOWING OUR BOUNDARIES KEEN EYES AT OLD KEA PAINTING WHITECROSS NEWS FROM PENWITH DISPATCHES FROM VICE-ADMIRAL COLLINGWOOD KERDROYA BROADCAST FROM BODMIN STOP PRESS: APPEAL FOR INFORMATION!!!! KNOWING OUR BOUNDARIES Rosy Hanns has immersed herself in a massive endeavour to plot and record the numerous boundary stones in Cornwall. No doubt many of us have stumbled across (or even over) these mysterious objects while out and about and have wondered what the letters carved on them once signified. Though not the most impressive of features, they may indicate estate ownership or parish or other boundaries, and therefore help to tell the story of local land-use, social structures and power at the time of their placement. Rosy has sent in photographs of stones she has discovered around Treslea Downs in Cardinham and Warleggan parishes. The map below shows various stones plotted in 1881; now Rosy is recording these in order to inform Cornwall Council’s Historic Environment record (which can be found at https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/community-and-living/mapping/). 2 Treslea Downs from the 1881 Ordnance Survey Six- inch to the mile map XXVII.SW. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of Scotland https://maps.nls.uk/copyright.html Spotting these stones on old maps is one thing; actually finding them on the ground is something else, as Rosy has found. -

Amanda Hoskin
amanda hoskin www.beside-the-wave.co.uk 10 Arwenack Street, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 3JA +44 (0)1326 211132 [email protected] Tide Coming In, Swanpool Beach 310mm x 385mm, oil on paper, £800 amanda hoskin “homecoming” Whether walking through the landscape or sailing Cornwall’s coastline, journeys are a predominant theme in Amanda’s work. In this exhibition Amanda’s journey is somewhat more reflective, taking us back to the area where she began her career as an artist. In the 1990’s, Amanda was on the water daily, sharing her time between a love for boats and her compulsion to draw and paint. As demand for these first seascapes steadily grew, Amanda devoted herself fulltime to painting in 2000. She has since journeyed the whole of Cornwall’s coast path, absorbing herself in all weathers and terrains. Known also for her romantic impressions of Venice and Bath she has established a reputation across the UK and into America and demand for her finely executed oils remains at an all time high. Returning to paint Carrick Roads has conjured an evocative sense of the past, and in turn the work has a contemplative, almost wistful quality. The light is gentle and the palette is subdued; in the Truro series the meditative atmosphere is particularly resonant. Amanda recognises the pensive nature of the work. She says: ‘The paintings of Truro are the first of this Carrick Roads collection. They have started quietly, peacefully - a reflection not only of the light at the time but also of how I am feeling.’ These are the first paintings Amanda has produced since an illness last year kept her out of the studio for three months. -

Davies National Rivers Authority Environmental Protection Manager South West R egion ANNUAL CLASSIFICATION OF RIVER WATER QUALITY 1992: NUMBERS OF SAMPLES EXCEEDING TOE QUALITY STANDARD - FWS/93/012 This report shows the number of samples taken and the frequency with which individual determinand values failed to comply with National Water Council river classification standards, at routinely monitored river sites during the 1992 classification period. Compliance was assessed at all sites against the quality criterion for each determinand relevant to the River Water Quality Objective (RQO) of that site. The criterion are shown in Table 1. A dashed line in the schedule indicates no samples failed to comply. This report should be read in conjunction with Water Quality Technical note FWS/93/005, entitled: River Water Quality 1991, Classification by Determinand? where for each site the classification for each individual determinand is given, together with relevant statistics. The results are grouped in catchments for easy reference, commencing with the most south easterly catchments in the region and progressing sequentially around the coast to the most north easterly catchment.
