Egloshayle & St Breock

Pigots Directory of 1830

From correspondence, I understand that Copyright has expired on this. I have therefore transcribed the pages below. If anyone in authority wishes to express a view contrary to this, please mail me, and I will remove this page immediately.)

The following is transcribed from the book, in which Bodmin and Wadebridge are lumped together. What follows is the extraction of parts pertinent to the parishes of Egloshayle and St Breock only.

Wadebridge, a small market town, between four and five miles from Bodmin, is partly in the parish of Breock, and the lesser portion of it in that of Egloshayle, and in the two hundreds of Pyder and trigg. It is eligibly situated upon the Camel, which is the boundary of the parishes and hundreds; and the river is navigable for vessels of 150 tons burden. It's chief trade is the exportation of corn; no manufactures being established here, nor any mines worked in the immediate neighbourhood. The living of Breock is a rectory, and that of Egloshayle is a vicarage: the incumbent of the former Parish is the Rev. Wm. Molesworth, and the vicar of the latter the Rev Richd. Cory. The methodists, Calvanists and friends have each a meeting house here; and there is a small school supported by subscription. The market day is Friday; and there are three annual fairs, viz. the 12th May, 22nd June, and 10th October. By the parliamentary returns for 1821, the Parish of St Breock contained 1,225 inhabitants, and Egloshayle 1,174; but the population confined to the Town is not stated.
