Carew, Richard, 1555-1620

"The Survey of Cornwall And an epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue"


Franchises, Cornwall hath the Duchy, Rialton, Clifton, Minhinet,
Pawton, Caruanton, Stoke Cliuisland, Medland, and Kellylond, which
haue their Baylifs as the Hundreds, to attend the publike seruices.
Hundreds there are but 9. East, West, Trig, Lesnewith, Stratton,
Powder, Pider, Kerier, & Penwith, which containe [blank] tithings:
by these the shire is deuided into limits, & all his rates
proportioned as followeth:
Diuisions.
| East H. | Trig H. | Powder H. | Kerier.
East| West H. N.| Lesneweth H. S.| Pider H. W.| Penwith.
| Stratton H.

In all rates, the East & South limits beare 3. parts in 5. to the
North and West. So in the Easterne, dooth East Hundred to that of
West: in the Southerne, Powder to Pider: and in the Westerne, Kerier
to Penwith. In the Northern, Trig beareth 5. Lesnewith & Stratton 4.
apiece. There is the like proportion made of the parishes in the
Easterne diuision, but with little satisfaction of diuers: neither
will it euer fare otherwise, & therefore (this notwithstanding) I
wish it followed in the residue.
