extinct; and Tregone, heretofore belonging to the Mayows, is now the
property of Mr. Hockin.
The advowson is in the Duke of Cornwall. Mr. Tonkin says in the Crown;
but much confusion seems to have existed in former times between the
claims of these two corporations sole, and if such a subject were
worthy of investigation, it is probable that many inaccuracies might
still be discovered.
The present Rector is the Rev. Edward Spettigue, presented in 1818 by
the King as Prince of Wales.

GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.
This parish skirts the northern boundary of the granite of St.
Breward, reposing on rocks belonging to the porphyritic series, the
most interesting of which is a kind of micaceous schist, that occurs
near the granite, and may be traced through the parishes of St.
Breward and Blisland, and Cardenham.

Bartholomew Serischall, whose arms were the same with the Seriseaux:

the reign I believe of Henry the Second.
Robert de Cardinan, by a very ancient deed, without date, which I have
seen, gave Crucgleu and Pengaer to Richard Dangeros and his heirs.
