PENGARSICK: From Pengarswick in St Breock in Kerrier, concerning which Hals says, "Pen-gar-wick, in this parish, also Pen-gars-wick, id est, the head word or command, fenced or fortified place; so called from the command or authority of the lord thereof heretofore in these parts' and the strength of the house and the tower thereof; otherwise Pen-gweras-ike, i. e., the creek, cove, or bosom of waters, head help, as situate upon the sea, or waters of the British Channel"! Pryce translates Pen-gersick, the green headland (pen-geare-ick? ); but it may also come from pen-garz-ick, the head of the hedge place.
