Kea, Cornwall

Kea ((コーンウォール語:Sen Ke)) is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is a '' "large straggling parish" ''〔() GENUKI website; Kea; retrieved April 2010〕 in a former mining area south of Truro.
Kea village is situated just over one mile (1.6 km) southwest of Truro.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕
Old Kea is situated two miles (3 km) to the east on the west bank of the Truro River at . St Kea reputedly landed at Old Kea on his first visit to Cornwall and established a church there, which was the parish church until replaced by All Hallows.

Today, the parish is mainly agricultural, and is noted for giving its name to the damson-type Kea plum. It is bounded to the north by Calenick Creek and Truro civil parish; to the east by the Truro River and River Fal; to the south by the parishes of Feock, Perranarworthal and Gwennap; and to the west by Kenwyn.〔 Other settlements in the parish include Calenick, Come-to-Good, Killiow, Nansavallan, Playing Place and Porth Kea.〔
Kea was described in 1870–72, John Marius Wilson's ''Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales'' (1870) as:

: ''A parish and a sub-district in Truro district, Cornwall. The parish lies on the Falmouth and Redruth railways, 2¼ miles SSW of Truro; is bounded, on the E, by the river Fal, on the N, by Kenwyn, on the W, by Gwennap; and contains parts of the chapelries of Baldhu, Chacewater, and Mithian. Real property £7,158 of which £1,234 are in mines. Pop(ulation) in 1861 3,949. Houses, 824. The manor belongs to Viscount Falmouth.''〔() Vision of Britain website. Retrieved May 2010〕

All Hallows church is in Kea village at . It was built in 1895 to replace a church of 1802 which was the work of James Wyatt. The church has a steep tiled roof and a lead spire. The font is Norman and of the Altarnun type.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) ''Cornwall''; 2nd ed. Penguin Books; p. 84〕 This present church was consecrated 4 June 1896.〔
The church of St Kea at Old Kea was the parish church until All Hallows was built. Later, the church at Old Kea was pulled down and only the tower remains today.〔 A small chapel now stands beside the ruined medieval tower and services are held there twice a month〔() Church Near You website; retrieved May 2010〕
Kea Monastery was a monastery probably at Kea of which little is known. "The mysterious land-owning monastery of St Cheus mentioned in Domesday (in Powder), 1085, possibly refers to Kea."—Charles Henderson, in ''Cornish Church Guide'', 1925, p. 116.
There is a school in the parish, Kea Community Primary School, which caters for 200 pupils aged between 4 and 11 years. The school stands at a crossroads half-a-mile (1 km) east of Kea village at 〔() SchoolsNet website; retrieved May 2010〕〔() Kea Community Primary School website; retrieved May 2010〕
