Halsetown is a village near St Ives, Cornwall, England, UK.[1]
Halsetown is an industrial village planned by the solicitor and politician James Halse and built in the 1830s. There was a tin mine nearby and also a ropewalk.[2]
The ecclesiastical parish was created in 1846 and the parish church (1857) was dedicated to St John the Evangelist.[3] A mission chapel was opened on 6 November 1878 because the parish church at St Ives, was too far for parishioners to attend.[4] The village is administered by St Ives Town Council.
The actor Henry Irving was brought up in the village, fostered by his aunt, Mrs Penberthy.[5][6]
