The parish of
PERRANUTHNOE
The Parish Curch
Contributed by Diane Donohue
was originally called Perran Uthno, or Little
Perran, and is surrounded by the parish of St. Hilary on all sides
but the south, which is bordered by the sea and Mount's Bay. Names
associated with the parish are Trevelyan, Praed, and even Stackhouse
- whose family most likely originated in the West Riding of
Yorkshire. Mr. Stackhouse built Acton Castle for his wife in 1775;
it has since served as a manor for various families.
Goldsithney, "a large and respectable village",
contains both Wesleyan Methodist and Association of Methodists
chapels. Another village is named Trevean, and, of course, there is
the Churchtown. The Kennal Powder Works was a major employer at one
time.
The OPC (Genealogy) for Perranuthnoe is Karenza Trenoweth, who
can be contacted by Email. For information about, and contact details for, the current parish
council, please see
