“Mr. Hals has confounded himself by the identity of names. The
Rectory of St. Julyot is placed by the first Valor in the Deanery
of Trig _Minor_, and the _Chapel_ of St. Julyot is placed by it;
and by the second in that of Trig _Major_. The former too is
rated so high as 12_l._, while the latter is only 26_s._ 8_d._
even at a period so much later. The former therefore is the only
large living of Trig Minor that is unnoticed in the first Valor,
Lanteglos, correspondently valued in the second at 34_l._ 11_s._
3_d._ And the latter is the present St. Julyot, not a Rectory,
but a mere Chapel in the first Valor, a mere Curacy Parochial in
the second, once appropriated to the Abbey of Tavistock, and
therefore having only 15_s._ certified value at present, the old
allocation settled upon it by the Abbey.”
Mr. Hals has given a very long history of Julius, Pope or Bishop of
Rome, from the year 343 to 358, which is omitted.
Nor is there anything worth relating in the history or legend of St.
Julyot. She is said to have suffered death, having been accused by a
violent and wicked person who had previously taken from her by force
some ample possessions. There is extant a sermon of St. Basil in
praise of this saint, who is commemorated in the Rituale Romanum on
the 30th of July.
The family of Rawle, settled for some time at Leskeard, are said to
have originated from Hennot, in this parish. They, together with
Molesworth of Pencarrow, are joint impropriators, and alternately
nominate the perpetual curate.
St. Julyot measures 2276 statute acres.
Annual value of the Real Property, as £. _s._ _d._
returned to Parliament in 1815 1784 0 0
Poor Rate in 1831 143 18 0
Population, {in 1801, | in 1811, | in 1821, | in 1831,

giving an increase of 36 per cent., in 30 years.
Present Vicar, the Rev. John Russell, instituted in 1810.
GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.
The rocks of this parish are nearly allied to dunstone, into which
they pass at Tresparret Downs; some of them, however, more nearly
resemble the dark-coloured pyritous rocks of Forrabury.
ST. JUST, IN ROSELAND.
