Thanks, in this parish; perhaps from Angosa conspectus, sight through
Angosa, the sight or view as lying open to the river. This was
formerly the seat of a family, Searle, who gave for their arms,
Argent, a chevron Sable, between three birds Azure, with breasts,
bills, and legs Gules. Thanks now belongs to Thomas Graves, Esq. who
hath been for several years a captain of a man-of-war. [Ancestor of
the present Lord Graves.]
THE EDITOR.
I may repeat the words of Mr. Tonkin, in respect to the Right Hon.
Reginald Pole Carew, the present possessor of East Anthony in right of
his mother (1832)――“He is a gentleman that in every respect comes up
to the merits of the greatest of his ancestors.”
This parish measures 2,903 statute acres.

Dr. Boase states that the geology of this parish includes the same
group of rocks as those found in the western St. Anthony, although the
two parishes are so remote from each other, and separated by such
ranges of hills. The slate is, however, more coarse and argillaceous
in this parish, and the massive rocks imbedded therein are more
compact, and almost entirely quartzose. The whole formation is
evidently more remote from the granite.
ST. ANTHONY IN KERRIER.

St. Anthony in Kerrier is situate in the hundred of Helston and
Kerrier, West Louer or Consort, and hath upon the east the harbour of
Helfon, north Manackan, west St. Kevorne, south the British Channel.

I. 1294, Eccles’ de S’cto Antony in Decanatu de Kerryar, is rated
iiii_l._ xiii_s._ iiii_d._ the vicar thereof xiii_s._ iiii_d._ In
Wolsey’s Inquisition, 1541, £4. 15_s._ 11_d._ The patronage in the

parish rated to the 4_s._ per pound land tax, 1696, £66. 12_s._ And
the tutelar guardian of this Church is St. Anthony before-mentioned.
