The village stands on the Falmouth branch of Falmouth harbour, opposite Falmouth town and r. station; is reputed to be -the warmest place in Cornwall; serves as a sub-port to Falmouth; was founded by the Trefusis family; and has a post office‡ under Falmouth. ...
Iron-founding, ship-building, and oyster-fishing are carried on. The chapelry includes the village, and was constituted in 1844. Pop., 1, 006. Houses, 224. The living is a vicarage, annexed in 1868 to the vicarage of Mylor, in the diocese of Exeter. There are three dissenting chapels, and a national school.
