GWENNAP is
a large and populous parish and village off the road from Falmouth to Redruth,
in the North Western division of the county, hundred of Kerrier, petty sessional
division of Kerrier East, Redruth union and county court district, rural deanery
of Carnmarth, arch-deaconry of Cornwall and diocese of Truro. Gwennap Church
Town is 3 miles south from Scorrier
station on the main line and 3 miles west from Perran station on the Falmouth
Branch of the West Cornwall section of the Great Western railway and 3 miles
south-east from Redruth. The church of St Weneppa is an ancient building of
granite in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, naïve, aisles, north
and south porches and a detached tower with pyramidal roof containing 6 bells:
there is a monument to James Pearrow, Gent of St Burian, ob, 1691, and John, his
son, and a large number of modern memorials: the east window is to Sir William
Williams bart. D. 24th March 1870, and there are others to Col.
Richard Williams, d 25th December, 1867; Mrs Beauchamp Tucker of
Trevince, to the Rev. S. B. Drury, a former curate, and to the Tabb family: the
church was restored at intervals between the years 1863 and 1882 –91 at a cost
of £800, the north porch, vestry, buttresses and the tracery of the windows
being renewed and the font replaced by one of polished granite: during the
process of restoration a piscine of Late Decorated work and the base of a five
shafted font of Purbeck marble were discovered: in 1882 the gallery was removed
and the church reseated throughout and a new organ erected: there are 300
sittings. The register dates from the year 1658. The living is a vicarage, net
yearly income £222, including 68 acres of glebe, with residence in the gift of
the Dean and Chapter of Truro, and held since 1906 by the Rev. John Charles
Frederic Brindley B.A. of Trinity College, Dublin. At Scorrier is a reading
room. There are Wesleyan chapels at Frogpool, Sunny Corner, Gear and Carharrack,
and for United Methodists at Carharrack and Hicks Mill. A cemetery of 2 acres
was formed in 1855 at a cost of £1,200, and is under the control of the Parish
Council. There are arsenic works at Point, 2 ½
miles east-by-north from the Church Town. Gwennap Pit, celebrated as the
spot where the Rev. John Wesley addressed the miners of the district, is a
spacious grassy amphitheatre formed in 1803, on the side of the eminence known
as “Carn Marth,” and has been found very convenient for large outdoor
assemblies; it has been entirely reconstructed, and is now encompassed by a wall
about 8 feet high: the circumference at the top is 340 feet and the sloping
sides are arranged in thirteen tiers of steps or seats about sixteen inches high
and three feet wide, leaving a considerable area at the bottom: it has been
found capable of seating about two thousand persons, and is now the property of
the Wesleyans, who hold great meetings here on Whit Monday and other special
occasions. Trevince is the residence of Edmond Beauchamp Beauchamp esq. D.L.,
