Children from all the neighbourhood are in the habit of going to Cudden Point at the low water of spring tides, with the hope of finding a silver table, although they know not why.

The addition of Uthno made to this saint’s name, designates a manor within the parish; there is also a manor called Lan Uthno, in St. Erth, distinguished in former times as the parish of Lan Uthno; but the editor has never been able to form any conjecture respecting the meaning or the etymology of this word. The parish feast is celebrated on the nearest Sunday to the fifth of March, St. Perran’s Day. This parish measures 924 statute acres. Annual value of the Real Property, as £. _s._ _d._ returned to Parliament in 1815: 5530 0 0 Poor Rate in 1831 200 0 0 Population, { in 1801, | in 1811, | in 1821, | in 1831, { 506 | 626 | 786 | 1033 giving an increase of somewhat more than 100 per cent. in 30 years. This great increase of Population is owing to Perran having become a mining parish, and to the cultivation of an extensive piece of waste ground by individuals, constructing houses on portions of land not exceeding one or two acres, granted on leases for their lives. A spot on this formerly open ground, was called Chapel an Crouse, the chapel and cross; but no record nor trace remains of any such an establishment. Near the same place a bowling green existed about fifty years ago, which is said to have been frequented fifty years prior to that period, by all the gentlemen of the neighbourhood.
