Talk:Holywell, Cornwall

For inclusion?
The piece below was cut and pasted from the Penhale article, which relates to Penhale in St Enoder and thus the information about Penhale Army camp is not relevant there. Penhale Camp is at the far end of Holywell village and perhaps someone needs to incorporate it here.


 * It is home to an Army Training Camp and a Training Area.

According to Legend, Penhale was once the site of Langarroc, a beautiful town with 7 fine churches. Mining made the town rich, but with wealth came sad moral decline, so evil were it's ways that, one night, a storm arose and buried the town and all its people beneath a sand dune. Even now, says the legend, when the night is stormy, the bells of the seven churchs can be heard above the roar of the sea. There may be some truth in the story, for after high winds, ancient human skeletons have sometimes been discovered there.

About 100 years ago, a small 7th century oratory was discovered beneath the sands at nearby Perranzabuloe, and restored. This name in old Cornish means "the church of St Piran in the sands", and the oratory is believed to mark the spot where St Piran landed from Ireland.
