In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Roseland like this:
ROSELAND, a peninsular tract in Cornwall; between Gerrans bay and Falmouth harbour. It contains the parishes of Philleigh, Gerran, St. Just, and St. Anthony; and it took its name from Eglos-Rôs, the old designation of Philleigh parish.
Roseland is now part of CORNWALL Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CORNWALL has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Roseland itself, go to Statistics.
