Talk:Lanlivery

Could the person who keeps editing the section on the great pie fight please learn some manners. Although some may find it funny, it was an important historical event in which many lost their lives and should be mentioned.

This parish, which includes the ancient town of Lostwithiel, appears to have taken its name from the church, which is said to have been dedicated to St. Vorek, or St. Brevit. In some ancient records it is called Lanvorck or Lanvorek, which seems rather to bear an allusion to the circumstances of the situation of the church, than to its sainted appellation, Lan-vor-nick signifying "the church on the way to the creek." It is in the deanery and east division of the hundred of Powder, about five miles south from Bodmin, and about two west-south-west from Lostwithiel. At a very early period this church was given to the monks of Tywardreath by Baldwin, and was afterwards confirmed to them in the reign of Richard I. by Robert de Cardinham, in which connexion it seems to have stood until the Reformation. Lord Mount Edgcumbe is at present impropriator of the great tithes, having been purchased of John Pollexfen Bastard, Esq. about the year 1794. By the prior of

AN ANCIENT CHAPEL FORMERLY SITUATED IN RESTORMEL PARK.

Tywardreath (he advowson of the vicarage was granted in the reign of Henry VIII. to Walter Kendall, Esq. subject to the annual payment of four marks to that priory. This advowson is now vested in his descendant the Rev. Mr. Kendall, whose family seat has been for many generations at Pelyn. The Kendalls of Pelyn are descended from Walter, third son of John Kendall of Treworgy, who married a daughter and co-heiress of Robert Holland, descended from the Bishop of Exeter. There are several memorials in Lanlivery church for this family ; that which bears the earliest date is for Walter Kendall, in 1547. In the north transept of this church, against the east wall, there are two fragments of sculpture in alabaster. One of these represents the resurrection of our Saviour, and the other the general resurrection.

The manor of Steckstinton originally belonged to the Carminows of Boconnoc, at which time it was known by the name of Tregesteynton. From this family it passed to the Courtenays, and became incorporated in title with the Boconnoc estates. It is now the property of Lord Grenville, in right of his lady.

Another manor called Bodarle or Bodardle, belonged in the reign of Richard I. to the Cardinham family, who had large possessions in this county, which were acquired from Fitzwilliam, whose heiress was married to Robert de Cardinham. In 1259 it was conveyed by Isolda de Cardinham to Oliver de Dinan, in whose posterity it continued for several generations. In a subsequent age it became the property of Robartes Earl of Radnor, and it now belongs to their representative the Hon. Mrs. Agar. The manors of Penkneth and Penknight, were among the 288 given to the Earl of Moreton. These at present, together with Penlyne and Restormel, belong to the dutchy of Cornwall. The manor of Polharman at an early period belonged to Sir Robert Tresilian, chief justice of the King's Bench. But on his attainder, this, with several other manors, were granted to Sir Humphrey Stafford. It is now, and has been for several generations, the property of the Kendalls of Pelyn.
