Talk:Par, Cornwall

Parishes

The article contains the following:

The harbour development saw the expansion of the village which split away from the parish of St Blazey to the north in the mid-nineteenth century. The arrival of the railway from Plymouth in 1859 encouraged further expansion north-eastwards towards Tywardreath. The boundaries between the three parishes are now somewhat indistinct.

Which is somewhat confusing because the OS Explorer Map (Ordnance Survey (2005). OS Explorer Map 107 - Fowey, Looe & Lostwithiel. ISBN 0-319-23708-3.) shows only two civil parishes (St Blaise and Tywardreath). There is no sign of a parish of Par.

I'm not sure where the village of Par stops and the town of St Blazey begins. The Explorer map suggests the village is to the east of the river, in which Par village is entirely in Tywardreath parish, although Par Harbour is clearly in St Blaise parish. On the other hand other maps show the area to the west of the river near the harbour as Par, in which case the village may well span both parishes.

Anybody feel up to resolving this. -- Chris j wood 17:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

According to the Par Parish web site "The parish was formed in 1849 out of the parishes of Tywardreath (1347) and St. Blazey (1445)."

But no, I have never worked out where Par stops and St Blazey Starts. I have always assumed that St Blazey engine shed and Roselyon garage are in Par; the Memorial Gardens are in St Blazey. But I could be wrong!Geof Sheppard 12:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
