Four Lanes history

---

Four Lanes is the main settlement in the ecclesiastical parish of Pencoys which was established in 1881. In earlier times the area was part of the parish of Wendron and the name Pencoy means the end of the wood. Maria Charlotte Broadley, the wife of the Vicar of Carnmenellis, wished to provide a church for the outlying hamlet of Four Lane but her husband died and she moved elsewhere. She returned and ensured that a building used for occasional services which had become dilapidated was repaired.

Four Lanes geography / climate
