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.

HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT In the early C16 Philip Rashleigh, a merchant from Barnstaple, Devon, began trading from Fowey. Through his son's marriage with Alice Lanyon the family acquired property in Cornwall, and was able to build a new town house in Fowey. In 1596 Philip Rashleigh's grandson, also John, purchased property at Menabilly, outside Fowey and began to build a new house which was completed by his son Jonathan. During the Civil War the house was looted; it was restored and improved in 1710-15 by Jonathan Rashleigh II and his son Philip, to whom the estate was given in the early C18. Philip Rashleigh II was also responsible for developing the pleasure grounds which benefited from the coastal climate; Borlase noted (1727) that 'every thing that belongs to the flower-garden, and grows in any part of England, will thrive and flourish here'. Philip Rashleigh III, who inherited Menabilly in 1764, continued the development of the grounds, constructing a grotto near the coast at Polridmouth and, in the late C18, calling in Thomas Gray to landscape the grounds. Gray's work at Menabilly was criticised by Philip Rashleigh's cousin, Sir Colman Rashleigh of Prideaux, who commented that 'in destroying the formal features of that place entirely divested it of the charm which belonged to it in a more formal condition.

    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’.

    THE MINERALOGICAL MAGAZINE AND JOURNAL OF THE MINERALOGICAL SOCIETY No. 902 September, 1948 Vol. XXVIII On rashleighite, a new mineral from Cornwall, inter- mediate between turquoise and chalcosiderite. By Sir ARTHUR RUSSELL, Bart. [Read March 11, 1937.] HE mineral here described was at first considered to be an iron-rich T variety of turquoise and was described by myself as such when this paper was read before the Society in 1937. At that time only a partial analysis had been made ; since then Dr. J. A. Smythe of King's College, Newcast[e-upon-Tyne, has most kindly undertaken at my instigation careful analyses of the mineral from both of its localities, Bunny mine, St. Austell, and Castle-an-Dinas wolfram mine, St. Columb Major. As a result of these two analyses, which are in close agreement, it is evident that the mineral is a new one, intermediate between turquoise and the two minerals chalcosiderite and andrewsite, and forming a middle member of what is probably an isomorphous group. The name rashleighite commemorates Philip Rashleigh, F.R.S., F.G.S., F.S.A., 1729-1811, of Menabilly, Cornwall, one of the earliest of Cornish mineralogists and famous for having amassed the finest collection of Cornish minerals ever made. The table of analyses given below shows the relationships of the various members of the g~oup and their respective specific gravities. The crystal system to which these minerals belong has only been estab- lished in the case of turquoise and chalcosiderite which are triclinic. Henwoodite (Sp. gr. 2.67) would seem to belong to this group, but an examination of a series of specimens shows that it is apparently a mineral of variable composition and the sole analysis by J.
