High

This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Pedroc=Padraic?

Pedroc is suspiciously close to the name "Patrick" (anon.)

Yes, but hundreds of years separate the stories, and Patrick was extremely, extremely famous. It's not likely that the Welsh would have cribbed him. Also, the churches show up in historical record with their names going way back, and there are sufficient church records to suggest that this was a very real person. Now, whether he went to India in his 70's, etc., is another matter. Geogre 10:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"the newly adopted unofficial flag of Devon"

..."the newly adopted unofficial flag of Devon"... Ah, yes. Does it replace then the former unofficial flag? And then, if unofficial, by whom has it been adopted, one might wonder? As the cultural horizons of simple folk collapse inwards, shall there be distinctive and "newly adopted unofficial flags" for each parish of Devon, and ultimately a "newly adopted unofficial flag" flying over every fortified farmstead, I suppose. A sense of deja-vu: didn't you folks already do that in the fifth and sixth centuries? --Wetman 19:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Treravel?

What does this mean? It's in the infobox before Padstow.... --Τασουλα (Shalom!) (talk) 21:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have been Tre Rovel, the house of the Rovel family, maybe near the farm called, Treravel, near Little Petherick. I guess this should be added to the article. Dougweller (talk) 21:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

St Petroc's remains

The entry (footnote 10) records St Petroc's remains being thrown into Hailemouth bay near to Padstow. I can't find any Hailemouth Bay. There is however a Hayle's Mouth near Hayle through which fresh water drains into St Ives bay. This is hardly near to Padstow. It's probably 40 miles away. Anyone know of a Hailemouth bay located nearer to Padstow? 213.2.195.51 (talk) 11:39, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As "haykle" is the Cornish word for estuary it may be just an archaic name for the north end of the Camel estuary. There was however a reliquary preserved at Bodmin before the Reformation containing his relics.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 11:58, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
