Ref: LCAA5366 £675,000 Ref: LCAA5366 £675,000 Treskillard Farm, Treskillard, Redruth, Cornwall FREEHOLD Occupying an oasis of peace and tranquillity in a delightful rural setting; a wonderful former farmstead of immense charm and character, comprising an attractive and spacious 4 bedroomed detached farmhouse, a separate 2 bedroomed cottage, a large two storey stone barn which has, in the past, had planning permission for conversion and a variety of further outbuildings, all enjoying countryside views and set in garden and paddocks of approximately 2½ acres. 2 Ref: LCAA5366 SUMMARY OF ACCOMMODATION FARMHOUSE Ground Floor: entrance porch, cloakroom, sitting room, dining room, breakfast room, study, snug, conservatory, kitchen, utility room. First Floor: 4 bedrooms, en-suite shower room, family bathroom. THE COTTAGE Ground Floor: entrance hall, 2 bedrooms, family bathroom. First Floor: sitting room, kitchen/dining room. 3 Ref: LCAA5366 OUTBUILDINGS Stable barn, workshop, garage, tractor barn, field shelter/fuel store, small stone storage barn, greenhouse and storage shed. Outside: delightful partly walled formal gardens around the farmhouse and barns together with two paddock enclosures. In all extending to approximately 2½ acres. DESCRIPTION Treskillard Farm is a delightful former farmstead in a peaceful rural setting approached from a country lane set within lovely grounds including large garden areas around the farm and barn together with two paddock enclosures, in all extending to approximately 2½ acres. The farmhouse is well presented retaining much rustic character and charm with a wonderful balance between the six reception rooms and four generous bedrooms. The main farmhouse has much internal exposed stonework and beams, some particularly impressive fireplaces to the dining room and breakfast room, woodburning stoves and deeply recessed doors and windows. 4 Ref: LCAA5366 Immediately in front of the house is a delightful walled garden with lawns and paved terraces surrounded by moss covered stone walls featuring several mature trees and flowering shrubs. The entrance from the lane leads through the grounds and around to the rear of the main house, culminating in a courtyard formed by the farmhouse and its various outbuildings. On one side of the courtyard is a self contained two bedroom cottage with reverse level accommodation. On the ground floor are two well presented bedrooms and a bathroom and on the first floor is a delightful sitting room with woodburning stove and high vaulted ceiling, together with a well fitted kitchen/dining room. In a corner of the courtyard is a large two storey stone barn which at one time had planning permission for conversion into a four bedroom dwelling. Although this planning permission has lapsed it may well be possible to re-apply and this would certainly make another desirable dwelling within the former farmstead. Throughout the grounds are a wide variety of further outbuildings including a large detached stone tractor shed near the entrance. The delightful gardens that surround the house are mature, well planted and landscaped with a large pond and two paddock enclosures with a large field shelter and fuel store. In all the grounds extend to approximately 2½ acres. LOCATION Treskillard is a small rural hamlet situated in a delightful area of open countryside in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, not far from the north Cornish coast and virtually equidistant from Truro, St Ives and Falmouth. The nearby towns of Camborne and Redruth provide a wide array of leisure, commercial and retail facilities, sports clubs, schools and main line stations with direct access to London Paddington and an approximate travel time of 4½ hours.

Crossing the A30 provides access to some of Cornwall’s most beautiful coastline with wonderful bathing and surfing beaches notably at Gwithian and Portreath and miles of rugged cliff lined coastal walks which can be enjoyed using the South West Coastal Footpath. To the south west the A30 also provides easy access to the coastal resorts of St Ives and Penzance with the former being renowned for the Tate Gallery and a variety of galleries/shops with a strong artistic community. Penzance has a variety of shops and a marina catering for a large number of pleasure craft and providing direct access to the picturesque waters of Mounts Bay, centred around the landmark of St Michael’s Mount.

  • OCTOBER 2014 EDITORIAL Many of You (Well Two) Have Said How Much You Enjoy My Little Anecdotes and So Here Is Another
    THE CAMELFORDIAN OCTOBER 2014 EDITORIAL Many of you (well two) have said how much you enjoy my little anecdotes and so here is another. Paul is not particularly good with ladders and so it took a lot of persuasion to get him up one to replace a loose slate. I promised to stand at the bottom, hold it, and offer words of encouragement whenever required. Gingerly, he reached the top and was not happy to have to stand on the very top rung to reach. The job was done and so began the very slow descent. Unfortunately, as he returned to terra firma, the end of the ladder went up his trouser leg. It wasn’t until he tried to step down with the other leg that he realised he was stuck. The only way to free himself would be to hop back up on one leg and lift the offending trouser. Why didn’t you rush up to help him? I hear you cry. And had I been able to stop laughing for long enough I would have done just that! Suffice it to say, he landed safely, the slate is in place, and we should be on speaking terms very soon. A Few Good Reasons to Visit Crowdy Reservoir.... 1. Free car parking (map ref SX 138 834). Just be a little wary of the potholes! And there are no ‘facilities’. 2. Plenty of places to picnic beside this 115 acre expanse of water. 3. Excellent for dog-walking - though very occasionally there are sheep about. Notices are put up asking dogs to be on leads but only during the hatching season.

  • Historical Evidence of Alluvial Tin Streaming in the River Valleys of Camborne, Illogan & Redruth
    '""'" Historical Evidence of Alluvial Tin Streaming in the River Valleys of Camborne, Illogan & Redruth Allen Buckley For most of the nineteent and twentieth centuries tin streaming has meant streaming for mine tailings. Apart from the well-documented operations this century, on such rivers and moors as Kentom Marsh, Red Moor and the Hayle River, the hundreds of tinworks along the valleys of the mining districts have been concerned with catching the cassiterite washed as tailings from the large mills of the mines which lined those valleys. The genesis and distribution of the alluvial tin deposits, however, are the subject of different ideas as historians seek to reconcile the theories of the geological fraternity with hard historical fact. In the second half of the eighteenth century William Pryce voiced the widely held view on the origin of this detrital tin when he said that it had been ripped away from the back of lode outcrops by such cataclysmic occurrences as the flood of Noah's day. This opinion had held for centuries, and even Richard Carew, writing at the end of the sixteenth century believed it. l The early nineteenth century witnessed the growth of scientific interest in all aspects of geology, and such men qs JW Colenso , J Carne and W J Henwood all lectured and wrote on the subject, explaining their beliefs on the origin of alluvial tin in the valleys of Cornwall and west Devon. One argument to which they all seemed to subscribe, indicated that alluvial tin had been laid down principally in those valleys which run to the sea on the south side of Cornwall.

  • The Great Flat Lode Walk Starting at King Edward Mine
    The Great Flat Lode Walk starting at King Edward Mine The Great Flat Lode Trail is a 7.5-mile circular walk that takes you through breathtaking countryside and past some of Cornwall’s most famous, historic mines. The Croust Hut café is in the old assay house for South Condurrow mine (later renamed King Edward in honour of the new King in 1901). There is a free car park and bike racks. The notes below are from Graham Sowell, a Trustee of King Edward Mine. The Great Flat Lode Trail – Circular Walk from “The Croust Hut Café” King Edward Mine – The Croust Hut – ex Assay Building for South Condurrow Mine. Clockwise – turn right at the Stamps Engine House and head up the bridleway to Higher Condurrow. When you reach the road the large Engine House building to your right is the pumping house for the Great Condurrow Mine (Woolf’s shaft, renamed Neam’s Shaft after the chairman of Condurrow Mines Ltd., shortly after it reopened in 1906/07), 320 fathoms deep from surface – 80” Cornish Pumping Engine built by Harvey’s of Hayle, which came third-hand from Garland’s shaft at Gwenap United Mines. The engine had originally been built for Batter’s shaft of West Chiverton Mine. Closed again in 1914. Turn left along the road for a short distance then cross over and take the road off to the right. Follow this for a little way until you come to a Carn Entral road sign and follow the bridleway up to the right. Across to your right on the horizon you will see Carn Brea Hill with its monument and Four Lanes TV mast.

  • THE TITHINGS of CORNWALL by P. A. S. Pool, M.A., F.S.A
    275 THE TITHINGS OF CORNWALL by P. A. S. Pool, M.A., F.S.A. Tithing, Parish and Manor The object of this study is to investigate the organisation of medieval local government within the nine ancient hundreds of Cornwall, by listing and identifying their tithings, which were the smallest units of local admini• stration until superseded by the adoption of the equivalent ecclesiastical unit, the parish, for civil purposes. The County of Cornwall largely coincided in area with the Archdeaconry of Cornwall (one of the four archdeaconries of the Diocese of Exeter). Within its area the Hundreds of Penwith, Kerrier, Powder, Pyder and West largely coincided with the Deaneries of the same names. Only in north-east Cornwall did hundred and deanery boundaries differ markedly; the Hundreds of Stratton, Lesnewth and Trigg (themselves sub-divisions of the Domesday Hundred of Stratton) were divided between only two deaneries, Trigg Major and Trigg Minor, the boundary between which passed through the Hundred of Lesnewth; and the northernmost part of the Hundred of East was in the deanery of Trigg Major. But this close correlation between county and archdeaconry, and between the majority of the hundreds and deaneries, did not occur at the lowest level, between the tithings and parishes. There were many more tithings than parishes; 308 tithings were recorded in 1284,1 whereas the number of parishes (always difficult to reckon exactly because of the doubtful status of some chapelries) was about 200; Table 1 shows that the number of tithings was greater in each hundred except East, and often substantially so: TABLE 1 Hundred Tithings, 1284 Parishes Penwith 27 24 Kerrier 31 25 Pyder 40 21 Powder 53 34 Trigg 36 12 Lesnewth 22 17 Stratton 23 11 J East 35 O West 41 19 308 198 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I record my profound thanks to those colleagues who have placed their know• ledge and advice generously at my disposal for this work, namely Mr.

  • Wesley Historical Society' ; General Index to The
    WESLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY' ; GENERAL INDEX TO THE PROCEEDINGS Vols 31-50 and to Book Reviews in Vols 26-50 compiled by John A Vickers CONTENTS Page Introductory Note 1 Abbreviations 2 General Index 3 Index to Illustrations 76 Index to Contributors 78 Index to Book Reviews, vols. 26-50 90 INTRODUCTORY NOTE This index to Volumes 31-50 of the Proceedings is a sequel to the General Index to volumes 1-30 published in 1960, but with some modifications. In particular, volume numbers are given in arabic numerals (printed in bold). Although the change from roman numerals was not made until Volume 49, the immense gain in clarity more than outweighs any inconsistency. In the case of extended references, only the first page number is given; but occasionally 'passim' has been used after a page range to draw attention to a number of references scattered through several pages. The letter 'n' has very occasionally been used to draw attention to information located in a footnote. As before, there are separate indexes to contributors and their articles and to illustrations. In addition, there is an index to book reviews, arranged by author, and since this did not feature in the previous General Index, this covers books reviewed from Volume 26 on, when reviews first appeared in the Proceedings. Local histories are not normally included, nor are other books and pamphlets only briefly noted.
