In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Crantock like this:
CRANTOCK, a parish in St. Columb district, Cornwall; on the coast, at the mouth of the river Gannel, 9 miles WSW of St. Columb-Major, and 10½ N by W of Truro r. station. Post town, Newquay, under St. Columb. Acres, 2, 552; of which 95 are water. Real property, £2, 823. Pop., 381. Houses, 75. ...
The property is divided among a few. Treago and Tregonell were old seats of respectively the Mynorses and the Tregonells. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Exeter. Value, £78. Patron, Lord Churston. The church belonged to a college, founded here, by the bishops of Bodmin, before the Conquest; and is good.
