St Mabyn history

---

The earliest signs of habitation are at the Iron Age hill fort of Kelly Rounds or Castle Killibury. In the Domesday book of 1086 this district was taxed under the jurisdiction of Treu-es-coit (translated as “town of the wood”, now called Trevisquite) The parish was part of the ancient hundred of Triggshire.

Modern period

A United Methodist Free Church chapel was built with funding from Richard Hambly Andrew of Tredinnick in 1820 during the incumbency of Leveson-Gower. St Mabyn’s standing stone was broken up for gateposts in 1850 and the stump re-located to the crossroads at Longstone. The main land owners in 1875, apart from the church, were The Viscount Falmouth, the Trustees of William Molesworth, John Tremayne from Heligan, the heirs of the late John Peter-Hoblyn, Francis John Hext and Mrs. Hooper.

St Mabyn etymology

The parish is traditionally named after Saint Mabyn or Mabena, said to have been one of the 24 children of Brychan, a Welsh saint and King of Brycheiniog in the 5th century. Sabine Baring-Gould however suggests that the true founder of the church was actually the male Welsh saint Mabon. Davies Gilbert asserts that the name derives from the Cornish compound word Mab-in, meaning ‘son’
