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. The main industry in the area is tourism with several commercial enterprises in the Parish. The Parish supports a small Primary School as well as Infants. There is a Doctor’s Surgery and Post Office service. In 2009 OCSI reported the population to be 746.

Both Peter Steege and Brian Clarke died before the completion of the survey analysis. Their contributions were greatly appreciated and they are sadly missed. 1 Forrabury & Minster Parish Plan Contents HISTORICAL CONTEXT ........................................................................................................................ 3 STEERING GROUP’S SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS .......................................................................... 5 HEALTH ......................................................................................................................................... 6 ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY ............................................................................................................. 7 TRANSPORT & ACCESS ................................................................................................................... 9 CRIME.......................................................................................................................................... 10 HOUSING ..................................................................................................................................... 11 BUSINESS & EMPLOYMENT .......................................................................................................... 12 EDUCATION ................................................................................................................................. 14 COMMUNITY FACILITIES & SAFETY............................................................................................... 15 RECREATION & LEISURE ............................................................................................................... 17 CHILDREN: 5-18 YEARS OLD ......................................................................................................... 18 CHURCH/CHAPEL ......................................................................................................................... 19 PARISH COUNCIL & NATIONAL TRUST .......................................................................................... 20 SUMMARY: THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESS OF THE PARISH: .................................................... 22 ACTION ........................................................................................................................................ 23 RESULTS OF PARISH SURVEY ............................................................................................................ 24 1.

There is evidence of human habitation from Celtic times to the present day both in the Cornish language placenames and surnames, Gunpool, Penally, Willapark, Beeny, Dunn, Talarne and in the archaeological finds, pre-Christian burials and stone monuments. The people of Boscastle spoke in the Cornish tongue: a Brythonic language, closely allied with Breton and now Cornwall has joined the Scots, Welsh and Irish as official members of the UK’s Celtic minorities. Some local families are recorded as living in the village since the 15th century. Boscastle takes its name from the Norman Lords of the manor who came over with William the Conqueror. The Botterells or Bottreaux were people of importance in the country. They married into the royal family, fought alongside their king and were both sheriffs and keepers of the keys to the king’s castles in Cornwall. They built Bottreaux castle on the strategic promontory at the top of Dunn ( Cornish for castle) Street. They set up the market to control the buying and selling of goods, took control of the milling of grain and built the two village churches and the chapel in Gunpool dedicated to St James. All the inhabitants, shops and ventures of the village and surrounding areas existed in relation to the manor. An economy was built around the harbour. The pier was rebuilt by Sir Richard Grenville in 1584 at the request of the local fishermen. In 1740 repairs were made to the pier by Cotton Amy who also built the harbour wall. Imports, exports, fishing and farming were the mainstay of the village. Boscastle remained a manor for almost 1000 years until it was sold in the 1950s. It had retained a continuity of landlord, tenant and workforce. That continuity built up a considerable expertise and knowledge allowing ever improving methods of managing the day to day running of the land and the community. This expertise built up over millennia ensured the manor workmen carried out the maintenance of the village efficiently. For example, knowing the danger of regular flooding, they carried out meticulous maintenance of the rivers Valency, Jordan and other watercourses to mitigate that flooding. Evidence of the manor workforce's maintenance of the village itself could be still be seen in the 1970s in the then overgrown slate storm drains, slipways and culverts. The workforce managed banks and hedges built to direct run off or strand debris in the flood plain that might otherwise cause debris dams and each spring and autumn they cleared saplings and brush from the riverbank and throughout the valley bottom. The village was pickled with underground leats to carry water to the shutes, brewhouses, forges and mills. These were maintained and repaired as a matter of routine. Specific areas like Gunpool were kept free of buildings to allow the boggy ground

  • 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.

  • Pigot's 1830 Bodmin & Wadebridge.Docx
    Extract from Pigot’s Directory of Cornwall, 1830 (pages 135‐136) Bodmin and Wadebridge Bodmin is a borough, market town and parish, in the hundred of Trigg; 234 miles from London, 62 from Exeter, 60 from the Land’s End, 34 from Falmouth, and six from Lostwithiel. It is situated nearly in the centre of the county, between two hills, and consists chiefly of one long street, running east and west. This town must at one time have been of much more consequence, and greater magnitude, than at the present day; for it formerly contained a priory, cathedral, and thirteen churches or free chapels, of which the foundations and sites of some are still to be distinguished. The present church is the largest in the county, and is handsome within, but externally irregularly built. The living is a vicarage, in the gift of Lord de Dunstanville; and the Rev. J. Wallis is the present incumbent. Here are three chapels for dissenters, and a free grammar school, founded and endowed by Queen Elizabeth. Bodmin must have been very early constituted a borough; for in an ancient record it appears that the burgesses were fined 100 shillings, in the 26th year of Henry II, for setting up a guild without a warrant. The corporate body, as created by the last charter, granted in 1798, consists of a mayor, 12 aldermen, 24 capital burgesses and a recorder. The right of returning members to Parliament is vested in the corporation; the mayor is the returning officer; and the present representatives are, David Gilbert, Esq.

North times, partly m a res~llltofflooding. Cornwall District Council, as the local planning authority, has a duty to designate appropriate parts of its area as Conservation Areas. At present there are some 8,500 Conservation Areas in England of which 29 are in the district of North Cornwall. During the preparation of the North Cornwall District Local Plan the centre of St. Breock was identified as a potential Conservation Area. Following public consultation it was designated as a Conservation Area by North Cornwall District Council on 3 February 1997. The Hamlet of St. Breock The hamlet of St. Breock is located 1%km (1 mile) south-west of Wadebridge at the convergence of three narrow minor roads from the Royal Cornwall Showground, Wadebridge and Burlawn. It is a quiet and hidden place, situated at the margin of a small steep wooded valley and open downland above. The surrounding land remains primarily in agricultural use; this is reflected in the historical division of land use within the hamlet - the valley houses the ancient Parish Church whilst the common above formed the focus of the working village adjacent to the downs.
