Constantine, Cornwall history

In pre-historic times, a fogou was constructed near Trewardreva: its purpose is unknown. Ancient name of Constantine, “Langostentyn”, implies that the settlement was monastic, with the “Lan” prefix.

After the Norman conquest

Trewardreva Manor House was built circa 1600 and remodelled in 1719–49; the west wing was demolished in 1860. Treviades Barton, also Grade II* listed, is a gentry house with historic garden.

St Constantine Church

Little remains of Norman church, which was rebuilt between 1420 and 1480. The chancel was rebuilt in 1862 and there was other restoration work between 1859 and 1901. The church was given a grade I listing on 10 July 1957.

Extractive industries

The parish had three main industries: agriculture, mining for tin, copper, and iron. The largest mine was Wheal Vyvyan, which was worked from 1827 to 1864. The value of copper raised peaked in 1845, 1850 and 1855.

Twentieth-century

In 1921, Alice Hext of Trebah gave the playing field and sports pavilion to the village in memory of her husband, Charles Hawkins Hext. She supported the development of the Sport and Social Club until her death in 1939. In 1933, overhead cables, providing electricity to homes were installed in the village.
