The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ which was given
_An Gorfe ay agan Arluth Jesus Chrest toan fe ry_
for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto eternal life;
_rag thy, gwetha tha gorfe hag eneff, warthe Ragnaveffera;_
take and eat this in remembrance that Christ died
_kemera hag dybbery henna en predery may Chrest marnans_
for thee, and be thankful.
_rag thy, hag be grassylen._
Again:
The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for
_An goyse ay agan Arluth Jesus Chrest toan the fowle rag_
thee, preserve thy body and soul unto eternal life, drink
_thy, gwetha tha gorfe hag eneff warthe Ragnaveffera; evah_

_henna in prederry may Chrest’s goyse be towle rag_
thee, and feed on him in thy heart by faith and
_tha, hag dybbery wor ren en tha gollon ryb creignans hag_
thanksgiving.
_grassylen._
Mr. John Lanyon, of this parish, a sea sand-barge daily labourer, had
a son named John Lanyon, who having had his education under Hugh
Boscawen, Gent. Master of Arts, who kept a school at St. Michael
Penkivell Church, became afterwards a steward to Trefusis, St. Aubyn,
Coryton, and lastly came into the service of Brook Lord Chandos, and
having by these services accumulated considerable riches, he gave
lands, and built and endowed an almshouse for poor people.
TONKIN.
Mr. Tonkin does not make any addition to the history of this parish,
except by stating that James Hals, who married Martha Penrose, the
only child of Captain Thomas Penrose, was “an elder brother of the
author; and that their eldest son, then about fourteen years of age,
was engaged in the pursuit of his grandfather’s profession, by serving
as one of the King’s scholars, or gentlemen volunteers, on board the
Sunderland, Captain Tudor Trevor commander, receiving about 30_l._ per
annum of his Majesty.”
THE EDITOR.
Trelisick is now the most splendid feature of this parish. The
situation, beautiful in all other respects, commands a view of the
whole inland sea constituting Falmouth Harbour. The House was built
about the middle of the last century, by Mr. John Laurence, a captain
in the county militia, during the Seven Years’ War, still remembered
for his good-nature, convivial habits, and wild eccentricities. It is
perhaps deserving of notice that the architect was Mr. Davy,
grandfather of the celebrated chemist.
The property became divided on Mr. Laurence’s decease; and it was
purchased, about the year 1800, by the late Mr. Ralph Allen Daniell;
other lands were added to the domain, and the whole became a handsome
seat suited to the natural advantages of the place.
Still further additions and decorations have been made by his son, Mr.
Thomas Daniell; but this gentleman choosing to quit Cornwall, has sold
the whole to Lord Falmouth, the proprietor of Tregothnan, a still more
magnificent seat, and removed from Trelisick only a few miles further
up on the Truro river.
