TONKIN. This parish has its name from the Archangel, conjoined to that of the principal place in it. THE MANOR OF CARHAYES. The name of this place is derived from caer, a castle, a house, or dwelling, and hay a hazel hedge, as the situation does plainly make out; and did much more so before the great alterations which Mr. Trevanion hath lately made here.
