Doesn’t time fly when you are enjoying yourself? And time has certainly flown for me, not only recently during the Coronavirus pandemic when ‘church’ life has been oh so different. During the seven and a half years since David and I moved into The Rectory in Lanreath I became Priest in Charge of Pelynt and Lanreath plus Assistant Curate of Lansallos, Lanteglos-by-Fowey and Talland. During my incumbency we have formed those five parishes of seven churches into one ‘united’ benefice – at which point I became The Rector of The Benefice of Trelawny. Each of our parishes had historic links with the Trelawny family and as such we already had something to unite us. My thanks go to Sir John Trelawny for agreeing to our using his name and the family crest St Nun Pelynt in our correspondence. Since arriving in February 2013 it has been my privilege to accompany you through the highs and lows of life which has included 190+ funerals, 83 weddings and 81 baptisms, together with innumerable Sunday and weekday services, Carol services, Christingles, Church and village fetes, visits to schools, nursing homes, holiday clubs and a village panto. We’ve had fun days together with school visits (for teaching and ‘Experience Days’) and Nativity plays in Church – Oh Revd. Marilyn and Bishop yes, and teaching on baptism and Roy at her ordination. weddings when, on a couple of occasions, I ‘married’ Minnie and Ginger, characters from a children’s book, re-enacted by children from Pelynt Reception - each of these I hold very dear to my heart. When I announced my retirement earlier this year, we had no idea that Covid 19 was going to have such a devastating effect on church and parish life – sadly I was withdrawn from ‘public’ ministry for three months which meant I was unable to officiate at some Pelynt Panto. funerals and of course numerous weddings which have now been postponed until either later this year and even way into 2021! I write this on July 4th – Independence Day and the anniversary of my Ordination to the priesthood - the day the government announced ‘public worship’ may resume. Sadly it took a week for the government to announce official guidance around that opening, 4 4 then for the Church of England to issue their guidance and then, of course, the Church PCCs have had to undertake risk assessments, thorough cleaning and to debate what is feasible. For Pelynt the church will remain closed and the situation reviewed in September. For others within the Benefice there will be a gradual opening up – baby steps - to ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing, but as I write, I know we will not be permitted to sing within our Marilyn and Dave. buildings! Although this is my farewell musing as your Rector, you are not getting rid of me quite yet as I will be back next year. Bishop Philip has given me ‘special permission’ to return to officiate at weddings booked up to and including the end of July 2021. I may well Holly and Shane’s 2019 wedding at St see you amongst the congregation then – that is, in the Wyllow, Lanteglos by Fowey, with the hope that weddings will be back to some sort of ‘normality’ reception at nearby Tredudwell Manor next year. I suspect they and Church services as a whole Wedding Venue. will evolve as a ‘new normality’ – only time will tell. And so my friends this is a fond farewell, not goodbye, from me and although Dave and I will I have now retired, so please send church related emails to Pippa Morrell-Davies at [email protected]. You can ring Pippa on Mobile: 07399 563 440. I will respond to personal emails as soon as possible. Pelynt Church – what of the future? The Current pandemic has brought to a head that which we already knew within the Church, that we are struggling to keep the show on the road! By Law each Parish has to have Church Wardens, a Treasurer, Secretary, Council Members and support from the general congregation and wider community. Many of our congregation, volunteers and worship leaders are in the ‘vulnerable’ category and therefore the PCC has made the decision not to open the building for the time being and will review the situation again in September. If we are to re-open safely we will need help from the village, so if you are able to help in any way, be it ever so small, please contact Sheila Morrell-Davies on 01503 220976 so that we can once again offer a space for worship, private prayer and reflection, baptisms, weddings, funerals, visitors and not forgetting school visits for teaching, plays and concerts. When worship can resume, and because of Revd Marilyn’s retirement, by necessity there has to be a slight change to the service plan as follows: 1st Sunday of the month – Benefice Service – see notice board for which church 2nd Sunday of the month – As before – United Village Service in Pelynt Church 3rd Sunday of the month – As before – Service in the Methodist Church 4th Sunday of the month – 5.00 pm Songs of Praise in Pelynt Church 5th Sunday of the month - Benefice Service – see notice board for which church 5 5 The mid-week communion will be led by Revd Roger May on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 9.30 a.m. Pelynt Church – Annual Gift Day You will no doubt appreciate that although Unfortunately the church finances are in a our Church building is closed, the very unhealthy state. overheads, Mission and Ministry payment Under normal circumstances, Sunday 9th to Truro Diocese, utility, insurance and August, 2020 would have been our annual maintenance bills have still had to be paid ‘Gift Day’ when so many from our Pelynt (and – around £385 per week. Currently there is wider) community have in the past no income from Sunday services, weddings, generously donated via a ‘Gift Day’ envelope funerals, fete or from locals and visitors to help keep the Parish Church solvent. As we go to print it does not seem likely that there will be a service at which to bring donations this year but any donations you are able to make would be very welcomed and can be sent or taken to Mr. G. Whiteley at 2 Summerlane Park, Pelynt, PL13 2JW. We cannot stress enough that we really do need your financial support if you want your Grade 1 listed village Church to be here in the future for your family baptisms, weddings alike who would normally be and funerals.

  • 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

    Study 4978 Cornwall OnLine Census Project, 1891 This document was supplied by the depositor and has been modified by AHDS History Introduction THIS STUDY contains our [Cornwall Online Census Project] transcript of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall. It has been transcribed, checked and validated by the volunteers of the Cornwall Online Census Project, the Cornish arm of the Free Census project. The original records are held by The National Archives and this transcription is done with their permission. Image copies of the original returns can be viewed on film, fiche or CDROM from commercial suppliers and at many research facilities around the world. This study contains a full transcription of the 1891 census returns for Cornwall—a snapshot of the people and places of Cornwall on the night of April 5th, 1891. The file names are the PRO piece number code (without punctuation). About UK Census Returns About Free Census (FreeCEN) was started early in 2000 with a pilot project for the 1891 census returns for Devon. The aim of Free Census is to transcribe all the UK 19th century census returns. It is part of FreeUKGEN and is a sister project to FreeBMD and FreeREG. The intention is that all three of the UK primary sources for the family historian will be online and “free to view.” Six months after the Devon project started, the Cornwall 1891 commenced. Most English and Welsh counties are now covered for the 1891, with the Scottish projects concentrating on the 1841. There are several English 1861 projects, using commercially produced discs and two English 1841 projects, including Cornwall.

  • Population Change in Cornwall 1951-2001
    Population change in Cornwall 1951-2001 1951-61 At mid-century Cornwall seemed to have resumed the pattern familiar from the 1860s. Overall, there was another slight absolute drop in population in the 1950s. Several parishes in rural east Cornwall lost more than 10% of their population. Things were different in mid-Cornwall where the growth of Newquay was maintained and here more parishes gained than lost people. Population growth was particularly striking in some rural parishes near Truro – in Probus, Ruanlanihorne, Kea and St Just in Roseland. Meanwhile, boosted by cold war military spending, Helston grew quickly. But in west Penwith, like east Cornwall, the picture was reminiscent of the second half of the nineteenth century, with widespread population falls. Cornwall seemed irrevocably locked into population decline, so much so that the County Council planners in 1952 forecast that population would only grow slowly, if at all, to 1971, as net out-migration and an ageing population structure combined to produce a sustainable steady-state population regime. But events were soon to prove them hopelessly wrong. 1961-71 During the 1960s a fundamental shift occurred in the demographic regime, the first major turning point since the 1860s. From a state of population stability Cornwall was now set to experience a state of population growth. And not just growth, but major growth. Population rose in the 1960s at a rate of 11.5%, something not seen since the 1830s. And this was to prove to be no temporary phenomenon. It was followed by further growth of 9.2% in the 1970s, 12.3% in the 1980s and 7.0% in the 1990s.
