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. -
