Talk:St Hilary, Cornwall

Malachy Hitchens
Anyone know anything more about Rev. Malachy Hitchens?

West Briton, Jan 3 1840 "Death of Davies Gilbert Esq." - quotation:"His preliminary education was conducted at home; and at a very early age he contracted an intimacy, which continued until death, with the Rev. Malachy Hitchens, vicar of St. Hilary, a gentleman of high and well-deserved celebrity as a mathematician and astronomer, and as editor of the Nautical Almanack."

His widow, Joanne, was buried 18 July 1815 Source: Online Parish Clerk Vernon White  '''. . . Talk''' 20:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * A swift google indicates he was also vicar of Gwinear, not much more yet but will keep eyes open for you. DuncanHill (talk) 20:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Born Gwennap, 1741. "He was collated to St. Hilary in 1775, and Gwinear in 1785, and held those benefices till his death in 1809". Source:Ellery genealogy page.

Looks like he deserves an entry. The row over the "papist" ornaments and practices was in 1932 Walke was an early radio broadcaster and also a peace campaigner. Vernon White '''. . . Talk''' 13:25, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * And wrote Twenty Years at St Hilary, a minor classic. DuncanHill (talk) 13:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Both Bernard and Annie Walke now have articles.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 13:15, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Briefness of article
Even for such a small settlement the information provided seems inadequate though the infobox is o.k.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 23:41, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
