LPN MAY-JUNE 18Temp MAY-JUNE 2018 Marilyn’s Musings My musings this time are more by way of an announcement. On 13 th February, 2018, following a period of consultation, the Church Commissioners agreed a new Pastoral Scheme in accordance with the ‘Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011’ for the parishes of Lanteglos-by- Fowey, Lansallos, Talland, Lanreath and Pelynt to enable the five parishes to become one ‘united benefice’. Given that the first Trelawny Baronet was born at Hall Farm, Bodinnick and subsequent members of the Trelawny family have lived in or owned land in each of our five parishes, and of course Bishop Trelawny is laid to rest in Pelynt Church – we shall be known as ‘The Benefice of Trelawny’. You might wonder what difference this will make to the individual parishes, well you probably won’t Olivia Tomlin rides a camel in Kenya notice anything different as each parish will continue to be distinct and From the Editor responsible for their own day to day running and finances – so will still need their own Church Wardens, Treasurer, Secretary, Lay Chair and May and June.

The Scheme will come into effect on Thursday 24 th May at which point I will become ‘Rector’ of the benefice with Rev’d Gary continuing as the ‘Curate’.

  • St Winnow Church, Lostwithiel, Cornwall Edited by Adrian Greaves ______
    St Winnow Church, Lostwithiel, Cornwall Edited by Adrian Greaves _______________________________________________________________________________________ During the summer, it was my pleasure to be taken by Society member Tom French and churchwarden Frances Stephens to visit the church of St. Winnow (or more properly, St Winnoc), where Lieutenant Melvill, 24th Regiment, worshipped immediately prior to departing for South Africa. There are both a fine memorial window and plaque dedicated to him. St. Winnow is near Melvill’s home and his parents are buried in the small church cemetery. Although the church address is Lostwithiel, it is on the estuary some four miles south of the village and can be reached by driving down a very narrow lane and ignoring signs stating that the road is unsuitable for motor vehicles. We were lucky and saw no other traffic. The church and memorial are truly delightful and well worth a visit. The church stands on the same piece of ground where probably the oratory of St Winnoc was erected at the end of the 7th Century. Of that building, made of cob (mud and straw) and thatched, nothing remains. In the 12th Century a stone building was erected – the lower courses of the north wall and transept are probably of this date. In the 15th Century, about 1465, the south wall was pulled down and the aisle with the pillars and arches was put up, together with the tower and porch. The roofs are of this date too, except for the chancel, which is a Victorian restoration. There is a wonderful stillness, tranquillity and timelessness about the place, which speaks of centuries of life and worship.

  • 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.
