| Greta Richardson I discovered your excellent village website recently after visiting Rod Keat's cousin, John who lives in Washington DC and who was visiting his family home in Delabole. I was brought up in Pendoggett and Port Isaac and have very fond memories of St Teath as the home of a good school friend of mine, Tony Burt with whom I'm still in touch and also of the late Henry Richardson and his mother, Greta. I learned shortly after Christmas 2008 that Greta had passed away which explained why she never replied to my annual letter to her. She was a dear lady whose husband, Jim, worked as a tractor driver on Treharrock Manor Farm during the time my father, Stan, was the manager there [middle years of the 1950's]. Henry and I were great playmates and Greta a very tolerant and friendly member of the farm community. Your website reflects the village! |

| Memories of my childhood and youth at St Teath. I was delighted to discover the St Teath web site on the internet and to read about, and see, photographs of old family friends, familar places in the village, and village news. It brought back many happy memories of my childhood and youth in a delightful village. Gwynneth's memories continue here. |

| Website and Village This excellent website has allowed me an insight into your lovely little village. My friend lives in St Teath and I am hoping I will get to visit next year. I particularly enjoyed the virtual drive through town and the panorama from the church. |

| Memories of St Teath I have just found the St Teath website and it was amazing that - thanks to the internet - I could "visit" my home village. As a child I lived in and grew up at Treburgett. I attended the village school from 1947 to 1954 and then attended Launceston College (then a grammar school). My mother Anne Callaby moved to St Teath from Treburgett in 1960, the year I joined the RAF, and lived at "Sunnyside" the third cottage on the right in Treroosal Road. Apart from 1963 to 66 due to serving in Singapore I visited my mother regularly till just before her death in 1994. My last visit was with my wife Anna in 2002. We were attending a "Class of 54" reunion in Launceston so we took the opportunity of paying St Teath a visit. My life has taken me all over the world, the Far East, Australa, South America and Germany where I lived for 17 years, but but it all came back standing there in the square in fron of the clock. My wife and I now live in Palm Harbor, Florida where we have a small apartment complex converted from a former Roman Catholic convent. (our website www.usa-fla.com then click on "pine hill" and select "English". It is nice to see how the village has developed over the years. An annual carnival. flower shows, news letter - things have certainly changed since my young days. As far as I can see, from the aerial view, Treburgett has expanded too, although I wish I could see it more clearly. The history of the old mine too. I used to walk past the old mine on my way home from school - even in darkness during the winter months and rode to school with the milk factory truck on its collection route. On our 2002 visit Anna and I were lucky to run into the only person who still remembers me - good old Barry Burton still at the White Hart, his only love apart from his golf. There may be others, but not many. It was nice to see the village looking so good, still the same, but somehow different. Anna and I look forward to visiting again and not such a whistle stop next time. If anyone who remembers me and wishes to get in touch please contact Rod for my email address. Rick |

| My visit a year ago In June of 2006, I was cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats and found myself struggling into St. Teath after a long day that started in St. Ives. I was immediately charmed by your village. Of course, I went directly to the White Hart to ask about a room for the night. They had no vacancy but the very wonderful gentleman in charge offered to call a nearby B&B to ask whether they had a room. And they did...or rather, she did...at The Hillcrest House. Soon, I was checked into my room and back at the White Hart for a pint and dinner. I have very kind thoughts about St. Teath. Your village is beautiful and welcoming from the moment you enter...and it only gets better, the more you come to know it. I have been to Cornwall two times, to St. Teath once. Next month, I will return with my wife who has been to neither and I will take her to St. Teath so that she can see for herself why I am in thrall to your village. |

| Bingo ! Just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to the bingo evening on Saturday 14th July in St Teath Village Hall to help raise money for our lovely little school. We raised £620.00 in total and we had a fun time too ! Thanks to everyone who donated prizes and helped out on the night. As always it never fails to amaze me how generous and heart warming St Teath Village and it's people are - how lucky we all are to live in such a great place. |

| Weather Suggest we set the ground rules over a pint at the White Hart on a date/time of your choice! Email rod@stteath.co.uk |
| From: john jones, Treligga Posted: 10-07-07 5:31 pm |
| Rod\'s challenge Now Rod I'm not sure whether we shouldn't meet to establish the rules of operating a rain gauge. We're very honest people in Treligga but it's possible that some St Teath residents would site their gauge under the hedge to give a false reading! And would we both be getting very wet going outdoors to take the measure? And, how we would avoid the water running off our hats - or in my case my bald head - right into the measuring vessel? And where do you buy a gauge? Don't say ebay as the lovely Mrs Jones already spends enough time and money on that. This challenge needs serious thought especially if it involves someone in Porthcawl, South Wales, being willing to participate and being honest. I must know someone who fits the bill. Still enjoying the site if not the weather. We have visitors this week who have been visiting Treligga every year for over 50 years in the case of the wife so it can't all be bad weather. |
| From: Rod Keat, St Teath Posted: 10-07-07 9:38 am |
| Re: Weather John Jones’ comments on rainfall have prompted me to order a rain gauge. Rain is topical and we’ll have a daily report on St Teath rainfall on the website – and compare it with South Wales and perhaps even Treligga! John, I’m throwing down the gauntlet! |
| From: Simon Keat, Liverpool Posted: 08-07-07 7:08 pm |
Excellent site, very clear and easy to navigate, good work. It almost makes me want to trek the length of the country to visit |
| From: John Jones, Treligga Posted: 04-07-07 6:42 pm |
| Weather I don't go into confrontation so don't take this seriously. However, the delightful locals in Treligga and regulars at the White Hart all tried to tell me I wouldn't be seeing as much rain as in South Wales when we moved about five years ago. You liars. I'm doing my best to talk to and protect my veg plants in windy Treligga but it is hard. And why does the sun appear over Treligga when it is too late for heavy gardening and just about time for the first glass of wine? |

| Website Well done St Teath what a fantastic site! It really keeps the village I love near to me. I am looking forward to coming down to see you all again in two weeks time. My Grandpa would have been very proud of this site! A good example to us all! |

Having attended St.Teath Primary School, worked in the corner shop (many moons ago!),and got married in the church in 2004, it is lovely to see a great website celebrating the wonderful community that St. Teath is. Long may it continue. |

This site makes me homesick. |
| From: John Jones, Treligga Posted: 14-05-07 10:01 am |
| new web page This is excellent and I look forward to its further development. My edition of the local paper failed last week to give me the local election results - the site succeeded where the paper failed. And I now know a lot more about the famous clock. Well done. |
| From: Chris, Delabole Village webmaster Posted: 09-05-07 9:04 am |
| New Website Proper Job. All the local village webmasters now need to review their efforts to join the new look in village websites. St Teath has been done proud. |
| From: Alison, London Posted: 07-05-07 1:02 pm |
| St Teath's new website A great website for a beautiful Cornish village.Hopefully the pictures and information will persuade visitors that St Teath has a lot to offer and is the perfect place to get away from it all in Cornwall. |
| From: Vicky, Pentewan Posted: 02-05-07 6:22 pm |
| Website What a truly excellent website. I wish our village was lucky enough to have such a useful and well designed site. |
