Historical Description

LINKINHORNE (or Linkenhorne) is a parish and village between the rivers Inney and Lynher, 4 miles north-west from Callington, 9 south-west from Launceston stations on the main line of the London and South Western and on a branch of the Great Western railway, and 9 north-east from Liskeard station on the Great Western railway, in the North Eastern division of the county, northern division of the hundred of East, petty sessional division of East Middle, Liskeard union and county court district, rural deanery of East, archdeaconry of Bodmin and diocese of Truro. The church of St. Mellor, rebuilt by Sir Henry Trecarrel kt. in the reign of Henry VIII. is a building of freestone and granite in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, nave of five bays, aisles, south porch and a very fine embattled western tower 120 feet in height, with battlemented turrets and pinnacles and containing 6 bells, cast in 1805 by the Penningtons, of Stoke Climsland: the rood stairs remain in the north wall: the font has a square basin supported on a central pillar with smaller ones at the comers and is probably Norman: there is a monument, with Latin inscription, to Edward Kneebone, ob. 1685, placed by Edith, his wife, besides a number of others of later date to the families of Saltren, Kittow, Dingley and Coffin: an ancient altar stone, incised with crosses, has been laid in the vestry floor since April 14th, 1891: there is a memorial window, erected in 1876, to Richard Kittow, formerly lay rector of this parish : the chalice with cover date from 1572 and the paten from 1735 : the church was restored in 1890—91 at a cost of £1,214, the seats of oak having been carved by Hems of Exeter, and affords 400 sittings. The register dates from the year 1576. The living is a vicarage, net yearly value £200, including 60 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of the trustees of the late William Hichens esq. of St. Ives, Cornwall. The mission church of St. Paul at Upton Cross, erected in 1887, at a cost of £1,525, and consecrated in the same year, is an edifice of stone, consisting of apsidal chancel, nave, south porch, vestry and a western bell cote containing one bell: the windows of the chancel are stained and there are 150 sittings. Mrs. Cecilia Knills’ charity £6 9s. 2d. is given yearly to the poor and Robert’s charity of £21 for education is given away in prizes to deserving children of the parish. In the parish are several copper and tin mines, to which the Caradon and Looe Mineral railway has been extended, but only two of these are now in working order. The Phoenix and West Phoenix tin mines in this parish are 3 miles west of the village and 6 north of Liskeard ; from them the Caradon, Liskeard and Looe railway runs to Looe, 15 miles south; the mines are held of the Duchy of Cornwall under a lease of 21 years, at a royalty of 1—72nd of the gross returns: there are two ascertained lodes, both of which are now being worked, the cross course running north and south; several shafts have been sunk. Seccombe’s is 225 fathoms deep, the Old, Sump 216 fathoms, Anne’s 112 fathoms, and Hamilton’s 40 fathoms: steam power is used for working: there are 12,000 shares in the company, which is on the cost-book system; they employ about 200 persons, and the Phoenix paid £10,000 in dividends in 1888, since which time they have been worked at a loss. There are three or four tin streamers at work in connection with the mines. On Stowe’s common, on the south-western border of the parish, is the remarkable mass of fungoid-shaped rocks, called the Cheesewring; these, 8 or 10 in number, are about 22 feet high and vary from 17 to 34 feet in diameter. Here are granite quarries, belonging to the Duchy of Cornwall and worked by Messrs. Freeman, Sons and Co. Limited, of Penryn: the granite is carried direct from here by railway to Moorswater and Looe and shipped from the latter place: the granite is of a superior quality, being very hard and of an uniform blue colour: for its durability no better proof is needed than Cheesewring rock itself, which has been standing from time immemorial in its present position without exhibiting any marks of decay. Sharp Point Tor is a lofty mass of granite rocks, 1,200 feet above the sea level, about one mile north of the Cheesewring. In the parish are two of the stone circles called “Hurlers,” and near these a granite cross, about ten feet high, called the “Longstone.” H.R.H. the Duke of Cornwall K.G. who is lord of the manor, Messrs. Kittow and John Williams Dingle esq. of Darley, are the chief landowners. The soil is loam and sand, and the subsoil is clay, slate, granite and killas.
