  • DR. BORLASE's ACCOUNT of LUDGVAN by P
    DR. BORLASE'S ACCOUNT OF LUDGVAN By P. A. S. POOL, M.A. (Gwas Galva) R. WILLIAM BORLASE at one time intended to write a D parochial history of Cornwall, and for that purpose collected a large MS. volume of Parochial Memoranda, which is now pre• served at the British Museum (Egerton MSS. 2657). Although of great interest and importance, this consists merely of disjointed notes and is in no sense a finished product. But among Borlase's MSS. at the Penzance Library is a systematic and detailed account, compiled in 1770, of the parish of Ludgvan, of which he was Rector from 1722 until his death in 1772. This has never been published, and the present article gives a summary of its contents, with extracts. The account starts with a discussion of the derivation of the parish name, Borlase doubting the common supposition " that a native saint by his holiness and miracles distinguished it from other districts by his own celebrated name," and concluding that " the existence of such a person as St. Ludgvan . may well be accounted groundless." His own view was that the parish was called after the Manor of Ludgvan, which in turn derived its name from the Lyd or Lid, the name given in Harrison's Description of Britain (1577) to the stream running through the parish. It is noteworthy that the older Ludgvan people still, at the present day, pronounce the name " Lidjan." Borlase next gives the descent of the manor, the Domesday LUDUAM, through the families of Ferrers, Champernowne, Brook, Blount and Paulet.

  • Cornwall Council
    Cornwall Council Preliminary Flood Risk Assessment ANNEX 5 – Chronology of Major Flood Events in Cornwall June 2011 1800 – 1899 A storm caused coastal flooding affecting a number of communities along the south coast on 19-20 January 1817. Polperro harbour was destroyed by this storm and Looe was badly damaged. Truro suffered from numerous flooding events during the 1800s (1811, 1815, 1818, 1838, 1841, 1844, 1846, 1848 (twice), 1869, 1875, 1880, 1882 (twice), 1885, 1894 and 1899). These were usually associated with high river flows coinciding with high tides. Known as the Great Flood of 16 July 1847, due to an intense rainstorm event on Davidstow Moor water collected in the valley and forced a passage of water down the Camel and Inney. Bodmin - Dunmere Valley and the whole area below Dunmere Hill was flooded by the River Camel. Dunmere Bridge was washed away as was the new 40 feet (12 m) high railway bridge. At St. Breward, bridges from Gam Bridge to Dunmere were washed away by a wall of water 12 to 18 feet (3.5-5.5 m) above normal along the River Camel. The devastating floods that swept down from Davidstow Moor washed away all but two of the bridges along the River Camel - Wadebridge and Helland being the only survivors. Serious flooding occurred in Par and St Blazey in November 1852. November 1875 saw heavy rain resulting in serious flooding in Bude, Camelford, Polmorla, Hayle, St Just, Penzance and Truro. Extreme rainfall in October 1880 resulted in serious flooding in both Bodmin and Truro. High tides at the end of September and early October 1882 resulted in flooding in Boscastle, Truro, Wadebridge and Padstow.
