| railway cottages I have been doing some research into my family tree and discovered my ancestor Mattie Jewell born 1875 was born at St Teath. She married a Joseph Parsons who was born in Tresmeer in 1868. He was a railway porter and they lived in Station cottages St Minver in 1901. Any info available on this would be gratefully received. thanks |

| Charlie Arscott Harris I would just like to say thank you to all St Teath villagers and friends of my Grandad Charlie Harris for their help with his care over the years. Without all your help Grandad would not have been able to live independently in the village for as long as he did. Special thanks to his next door neighbours who where watching over him. Also thanks to Pat who was Grandad's Rock. |

| My forthcoming Wedding - March 17th 2011(2012? ed) To one and to all. Be you duly warned that I propose to marry my Fiancé at the Church of St. Teath on the 17th March 2011. Having met with the Revd Deryn at Church recently, and was TOTALLY shocked at the suggestion of my Fiancé Eva that perhaps we should get married here, I immediately grabbed the opportunity:-The Village will be en Fete that weekend, and I am Irish by Birth, and my future wife is from Slovakia. We will have Family & Friends from ALL over the World joining us to celebrate the event, so if you have accommodation available, please do let me know so that I can generate a list for Guests. I would LOVE to have my Bride and her Bridesmaids delivered to the Church in a Horse Drawn Carriage, Any suggestions? I have already spoken to the "Local" where we will certainly raise a Glass of five. With a Buffet at the Church Hall following the Ceremony. I want this to be a Day that we, Eva and I will never forget, but also for the Village to remember for many years to come. We are two mature people (Some people would question this) who have found the Love of God, and the Love of life with each other. Any suggestions as to how can mark this day, and be a bit different would be most welcome. Thank you in anticipation, and hopefully we will see you all soon.Daniel R Walsh |

| Freedom of Speech It seems amazing that someone felt at liberty to paint over Simon Edwards' protest painted on his house. Does anyone know the legal position here? Presumably others would have a similar liberty to paint on the walls of the Camel Builders' houses. |

| freedom of speech some of you may be familiar with the message i painted on the back wall of my house in protest at camel builders development immediately behind us .

| Snooker Room Regarding the article about the poor usage of the snooker room (see Timepiece February 2011 - ed), may i suggest that a slot meter is installed in the room and,that members can purchase a key for say £5,returnable when membership ceases.Having to go to the Post Office for the key and tokens is a turn off because (a)not knowing how many tokens one might need,and(b)the most popular time for playing is the evenings when the Post Office is shut!This system works very well in other villages round and about.Hope this helps |

| camel builders behind treroosel rd Hopefully The parish council also opposed the original application, the 2009 one was just a renewal. I dont understand how this application was accepted or why there is no right of appeal for objectors. my feelings now are expressed on the back wall of my house |
| From: S.Theobald. St Teath Clerk, Delabole Posted: 16-07-10 4:50 pm |
| Treroosel Road. Recorded in the Parish Council Minutes, 2009/01/01.Plots 13A and 13B, The Meadows, Treroosel Road, St Teath.The Parish Council did not support this application on the grounds that 'It was overdevelopment of the site,loss of amenities to adjoining properties, it would overpower the existing cottages and impact adversely on the area' |

| 2 houses behind cottages in treroosel road Hi Jonathan - yes, 2 houses are being built there. I live next door to trelowen (cordwainers) and we've objected, along with the neighbours, against this development. Our light and privacy will be completely taken away, not to mention the noise going on at the moment! We really don't understand how permission was given for this. We've contacted local councillors for support and heard nothing back - great eh? Good luck with your move and I'm sure we'll be seeing you. |
| From: Jonathan Sims, Soon to be St Teath Posted: 21-06-10 8:50 pm |
| Development work? Does anyone know what is really going on to the patch of land behind the Union cottages at the start of Treroosel Road? Planning permission has been granted (how?) for 2 houses there and the land is currently being cleared, but we hear this is a regular occurrence. We will shortly be moving into Trelowen on the corner and would dearly like to know.Thank you |

My ancestor Thomas Henwood lived in Carkeen until 1857 when he and his children emigrated to NZ. I came to your village in 1988 and saw the farm house at St teath. margaret Pugh showed me around. She must be dead now, but she said she had welcomed a succession of New Sealand Henwoods into her house. Thankyou all st teath residents for being so accomodating when crazy people from downunder want to poke around your village and aske questions about dead ancestors. It must get very trying sometimes!

| From: Joan Coupland, Treburgett Posted: 27-04-10 10:38 am |
| Planning application for Treburgett Pig Farm W.T. Shute and Sons of Canworthy Water, who are now the owners of Treburgett Pig Farm have submitted an application to the Planning Department of Cornwall Council - ref no. 2010/00473, to increase the size of the existing pig housing unit, build a slurry pit and alter the existing track (public footpath) near the farm. This application follows being granted permission last year to build a second pig housing unit, despite opposition from the residents of Treburgett. All these increases in pig housing obviously increases the terrible smell we have to endure, plus the noise of the pigs and flies. We will obviously be opposing this latest application and would be grateful if any other residents in the area would join us in this. This could effect the enjoyment of using the public footpath from Treburgett. Where will it all stop. This is a pig farm which is growing into a very large commercial business. DO WE REALLY NEED THAT IN OUR AREA? |

| St Teath Website I wish to compliment the people responsible for this wonderful website. My Grandfather his parents and brothers emigrated from St Teath in the late 1800's to Australia [and South Africa]. It has been of great value to me in researching my family's origins. I also had the opportunity to visit St Teath first in 1969 when I could find very little about them and again last October[2009] with my son Cedric. At that time we met a delightful lady who has a converted cottage in what was once the stables [#1] and she was most helpful as her husband had mapped the graves in the church before his demise. She also was able to point me in other directions I had not thought of to get more information. I am most grateful to her and to your wonderful website and I have also given it to my sister in northern NSW as she is also interested. Many thanks. |

| Rosewater Park Love the website. I wish all villages (and a lot of towns) had sites as good as yours - easy to look at.Last year I stopped off at St. Teath with my family on my way to ther parts of Cornwall researching family history. We were so taken with St. Teath and the people, that when my mother died last year rather than invest the money in a bank , we chose to buy a pine Lodge on Rosewater park to use for ourselves and the rest of the time to let out for holiday makers. I hope people in the village dont mind the Caravan/Lodge park too much. We value the opinions of people who live and work in St. Teath all the time. Living somewhere like Dartmouth where there are a lot of second homes, we thought it best to buy a lodge on the park. |

| Goudge family I am researching my Great Great Grandfather, Daniel Goudge, who was born in Churchtown, St. Teath, in July of 1829. His father, John, was a miner and his mother was Dorothy Marrifield Goudge. Three of Daniel's siblings were also born in St. Teath: Henry b. 1832, William b. 1826, Thirza b. 1831. I will be visiting St. Teath at the end of March and I would love to connect with any Goudge relatives. I am also interested in visiting the mines in the area where John might have worked. Any information would be very appreciated.Joanne meemaw@ptd.net |

| Pub St Teath has warm memories for me ... and for several of us who were in the Senior and Rover Scouts back in the late 1960's. We were camping at Bodmin and used to walk to St Teath for our lunch ... actually I think it was only three or four times ... but the pies were wonderful and better still ... the cider was the best I have ever tasted. I'm not sure if the village pub is still there but if so ... then it remains in the heartfelt memories of several of our brains. We were from 1st East-Sheen Scouts ... a school troop attached to Shene County Grammar School for boys. It became a comprehensive in the 70's ...but then I had left and moved on to work for BT [so later to become ... PO Telecoms in those days]. all the best and thank you for St Teath ... Trevor |

| Coming home I came home yesterday, came back to St Teath for the first time for nearly 10 years to have lunch with Peggy Crosley. It was emotional and wonderful and I will be back again soon. I met some old friends, Sheila, Phil, Julie and Irene and introduced them to my 19 month old grand daughter Aysha (Mary's daughter). We visited the school, was I jealous! All those years of traipsing up to the playing fields, no staff room, awful loos, it is great and it almost makes me wish I was still teaching, but only 'almost'! So many happy memories, thank you St Teath, I feel so lucky to have lived and worked in this wonderful village. |

| 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 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 |

| 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. |

| 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? |

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. |

| Website Great website, will enjoy regular St Teath updates and let you know of any news that we could add. |

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. |

| Website What a truly excellent website. I wish our village was lucky enough to have such a useful and well designed site. |
