    Pigot 1830 Camelford

    Extract from Pigot’s Directory of Cornwall, 1830 (page 139) Camelford Is a small market town and parliamentary borough, in the parish of Lanteglos and hundred of Lesnewth; 229 miles from London, 56 from Exeter, 12 from Bodmin, and 5 from Bossiney. It is situated amidst good agricultural land, bur devoid of prospects picturesque or even pleasing. A feature, the most prominent in the landscape of the neighbourhood, is a mountain, the ‘Rough Tor’ the highest in the county, about a mile distant, on which are immense square blocks of granite, provincially called the ‘Kairns’. This is a place of little trade; the nearest mine is at Freburget [an error – it should be Treburget] three miles hence; it is prolific in lead, with some silver. The town is governed by a mayor, 8 burgesses, and 10 freemen; these elect two members for parliament; the mayor is the returning officer: the present representatives are, Mark Millbank, Esq. and Colonel Craddock. The parish church is situated at Lanteglos, about a mile from the town; the living is a rectory, in the gift of the See of Exeter; the present incumbent is the Rev. C. Luxmore, and his curate the Rev. Thomas Amory. The only places of worship in the parish besides, are two chapels for dissenters. The market-day is Friday; the fairs are, the first Friday after the 10th March, the 25th May, 17th July, and 6th September. The parish of Lanteglos, with the borough of Camelford, contained, in 1821, 1,256 inhabitants. Post Office, Ann DINHAM, Post Mistress – letters from all parts arrive every morning at half-past seven, and are despatched every afternoon at four.

    Forrabury & Minster Parish Plan

    Forrabury & Minster Parish Plan Boscastle: The Queen’s Head and entrance to harbour. Photo provided by Jonathan Stirrup © Forrabury & Minster Parish Plan This Parish Plan, completed in April 2016, is based on the results of a survey carried out in December 2013. The first part of the report gives a summary of the findings and a commentary from the Steering Group. This is followed, from page 24, by the detailed results, as analysed by an independent person. When this survey was initially conducted 422 questionnaires were successfully delivered to members of the Parish community. Additionally 156 letters were sent to those with a residence in the village but who did not appear on the local electoral register for the area. The steering committee have attempted to be as inclusive as possible for the purposes of gaining a representative view of life in the Parish from as many voices likely to have an interest in the Parish as possible. 230 questionnaires were returned and 5 requests, as a result of the mailshot, were made for a questionnaire. This report is based upon the findings of these 235. Following completion of phase one (the collation of data) and completion of phase two (the completion of this report) 5 more questionnaires were returned that unfortunately have not been included in this report due to time constraints. Boscastle is an old harbour village in North Cornwall, notably famous for a severe flood in 2004. The Parish comprises Forrabury and Minster and Boscastle village as well as outlying areas as far as Slaughterbridge. A detailed image of the Parish and its boundary can be seen on the final page of this report.

    Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE

    CORNISH ARCHAEOLOGY No. 25 (1986) Cornwall in the Bronze Age AICIA M CISIE The Concept of a Bronze 'Age' Any review of the Bronze Age in Cornwall, or indeed in other areas of the British Isles, must today present the writer with a very different prospect to that which lay before Bernard Wailes 28 years ago, although much of the basic information remains the same. We now know, for example, that metallurgy was introduced into these islands before the middle of the third millennium bc, probably from two continental quarters, the Rhineland and the Atlantic region. Our period has lengthened and the calibration of radiocarbon dates means that it not only overlaps the Late Neolithic but also merges into the Iron Age in the mid-first millennium BC, giving a total of some 2000 years. The accumulation of data and dates, togther with advances in excavation and research techniques and the recognition of regional variation, make the whole concept of a Bronze 'age' far more complex than hitherto. In the 1960s, HawkeV scheme for the divisions of the British Bronze Age provided the framework (Hawkes, 1960) and was widely accepted in principle. As more radiocarbon dates have become available, there have nevertheless been surprises and many refinements have been applied, allowing a broader, more flexible approach into which ceramics and metalwork can be fitted. Today the most widely accepted scheme is that propounded by Burgess (in 5/0 wo OE AGE SIES SS 00 SX - 2,0 Fig 1 Location map showing principal sites mentioned in the text. Settlements or occupation

  • 1 METEOROLOGY of the BOSCASTLE FLOOD Brian Golding

    1 METEOROLOGY of the BOSCASTLE FLOOD Brian Golding

    National Hydrology Seminar 2005 Brian Golding METEOROLOGY OF THE BOSCASTLE FLOOD Brian Golding, Head of Forecasting Research, Met Office, FitzRoy Road, Exeter,EX1 3PB, United Kingdom INTRODUCTION On the afternoon of 16 th August 2002 the village of Boscastle on the north coast of Cornwall was severely damaged by flooding. A substantial number of people were helped to safety by emergency services, though thankfully and perhaps remarkably, given the severity and suddenness of the event, there was no loss of human life. This paper presents an analysis of the meteorological conditions leading to the event. Evidence will be presented on the soil conditions prior to the event, the meteorological conditions that generated the storms, the temporal and spatial characteristics of the rain and the small-scale mechanisms which focussed extreme conditions in the Boscastle area. The rarity of the event is then examined in the light of previous records. CLIMATOLOGY OF RAINFALL IN NORTH-WEST CORNWALL Rainfall in southwest England arises predominantly from Atlantic depressions in winter and from thunderstorms in summer. The moisture content of the air is an important factor determining rainfall, and the sea temperature, which reaches its maximum in late summer, largely controls this. The rainfall distribution is also enhanced where air is forced to ascend hills. Most coastal areas of Cornwall and Devon have annual rainfall totals of 900-1000 mm, but up to double this amount falls on the uplands of Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor and Exmoor. These figures can be compared to the driest parts of eastern England, which receive 500mm and over 4000 mm in the western Scottish mountains.
