Calenick

Calenick House (Cornish: Klunyek Chi) Calenick House is the principal part of a country house that forms a prominent collection of Grade II* listed buildings within the hamlet of Calenick, approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the City of Truro in Cornwall. The site also houses a Grade II* clock tower, as well as a Grade II listed weigh house.Further detached buildings and ruins remain on the site which was once part of a tin smelting works. It is also the site of the manufacturing of Calenick Crucibles, which were a crucial part of the smelting process and were shipped worldwide, as far as Australia. Once the largest tin smelting blowing house, it had ten reverberatory furnaces by 1794. It is closely linked to the first known reverberatory furnace in Cornwall, at the nearby Newham Works (now known as Newham Industrial Estate) which transferred to the Calenick site in circa 1712. The site was in an advantageous position, near the head of Calenick Creek, with good access to water for power as well as an accessible route into the then coinage town of Truro. The site runs along the River Tinney which was once tidal to the western boundary of the site, however increased siltation of the creek, as well as changes in tides now see the river as a pleasant stream intersecting the hamlet. Calenick Bridge, at the head of the creek, is a grade II listed single-span bridge, built in the early 19th-century.The area was once subject to a historical investigation by Professor R. F. Tylecote of Newcastle University, who is generally recognised as the founder of the sub-discipline of archaeometallurgy.

Kea village is situated just over one mile (1.6 km) southwest of Truro.Old Kea is situated two miles (3 km) to the east on the west bank of the Truro River at grid reference SW 843 417. St Kea reputedly landed at Old Kea on his first visit to Cornwall and established a church there, which was the parish church until replaced by All Hallows. His life is described in the medieval Cornish language play Bewnans Ke (The Life of St Kea, c. 1550). Today, the parish is mainly agricultural, and is noted for giving its name to the damson-type Kea plum. It is bounded to the north by Calenick Creek and Truro civil parish; to the east by the Truro River and River Fal; to the south by the parishes of Feock, Perranarworthal and Gwennap; and to the west by Kenwyn. Other settlements in the parish include Calenick, Come-to-Good, Killiow, Nansavallan, Playing Place, Porth Kea, and the tiny hamlet of Quenchwell consisting of a few houses and a chapel. It takes its name from the Quench-well, a natural spring.Kea was described in 1870–72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870) as: A parish and a sub-district in Truro district, Cornwall.

The Truro River (Cornish: Hyldreth) is a river in the city of Truro in Cornwall, England, UK. It is the product of the convergence of the two rivers named Kenwyn and Allen which run under the city: the Truro River (named after the city) flows into the River Fal, estuarial waters where wildlife is abundant, and then out into the Carrick Roads. The river is navigable up to Truro. The river valleys form a bowl surrounding the city on the north, east and west and open to the Truro River in the south. The fairly steep-sided bowl in which Truro is located, along with high precipitation swelling the rivers and a spring tide in the River Fal, were major causes of flooding in 1988 which caused large amounts of damage to the city centre. Since then, flood defences have been constructed around the city, including an emergency dam at New Mill on the River Kenwyn and a tidal barrier on the Truro River, to prevent future problems. The valley of the Tresillian River is between the valleys of the Truro River and the Fal; the Tresillian River flows into the Truro River just upstream of where the latter joins the Fal. Early records give the Tresillian River the name "Seugar" (1297) or "Sowgar" (1530); the meaning of this name is unknown.The river is mentioned in the medieval Cornish language play Bewnans Ke (c. 1550), as the place from which the eponymous Saint Kea embarks for Rosené. It uses the river's Cornish name Hildrech, which in modern spelling is Hyldreth.
