This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

It is requested that a photograph be included in this article to improve its quality.

For inclusion?[edit]

The piece below was cut and pasted from the Penhale article, which relates to Penhale in St Enoder and thus the information about Penhale Army camp is not relevant there. Penhale Camp is at the far end of Holywell village and perhaps someone needs to incorporate it here.

It is home to an Army Training Camp and a Training Area.

According to Legend, Penhale was once the site of Langarroc, a beautiful town with 7 fine churches. Mining made the town rich, but with wealth came sad moral decline, so evil were it's ways that, one night, a storm arose and buried the town and all its people beneath a sand dune. Even now, says the legend, when the night is stormy, the bells of the seven churchs can be heard above the roar of the sea. There may be some truth in the story, for after high winds, ancient human skeletons have sometimes been discovered there.

About 100 years ago, a small 7th century oratory was discovered beneath the sands at nearby Perranzabuloe, and restored. This name in old Cornish means "the church of St Piran in the sands", and the oratory is believed to mark the spot where St Piran landed from Ireland.
