The parish ofST HILARYThe parish of St Hilary includes the Town of
Marazion and the offshore island St Michael’s Mount. Many of the older
records refer to residents as being ‘of the town’ or ‘of the parish’.
The term ‘of the town’ refers to the Town of Marazion, while ‘of the
parish’ refers to the balance of the parish. St Michael’s Mount is
usually referred to by it’s own name. The parish, excluding Marazion and
St Michael’s Mount, has no business center and is made up of a number of
small clusters of residences; Plain-an-Gwarry, Tregurtha, Churchtown,
Trewhella, Relubbus, Hallamaning, Colenso, Millpool, Greenberry,
Woodstock, Carter’s Downs, Rosudgeon, Trevean, and Prussia Cove are some
of these communities. The parish was made up mostly of families of
miners and farmers. The Online Parish Clerk for St Hilary is Al Kline who can be contacted by email.
