Lawhitton ((コーンウォール語:Nansgwydhenn)) is a civil parish and village in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is situated two miles (3 km) southwest of Launceston and half-a-mile west of Cornwall's border with Devon at the River Tamar.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 201 ''Plymouth & Launceston'' ISBN 978-0-319-23146-3〕
The parish of Lawhitton is in the Launceston registration district. It is a comparatively small parish and Lawhitton village is the principal settlement. The border with Devon forms the parish's eastern boundary; to the north, it is bounded by St Thomas by Launceston parish; to the west by Launceston parish; and to the south by Lezant parish. The population of the parish in the 2001 census was 270,〔(GENUKI website ); Lawhitton page; retrieved April 2010〕 decreasing to 232 at the 2011 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=parish population 2011 )〕
==History==
In the 880s, Saxon priests controlled church estates like Polltun, Caellwic, Landwithan (Pawton, in St Breock) and Lawhitton. Eventually they passed these over to Wessex kings. These estates were granted to the Bishop of Sherborne to whose diocese Cornwall had been added. Landwithan included the parishes of Lawhitton, South Petherwin (with Dunheved, modern Launceston), Trewen and Lezant. In 1050 they passed to the Bishop of Exeter and remained a peculiar deanery of the Bishop until 1850. Consequently, two-thirds of the parish of Lawhitton still belongs to the Church Commissioners. At the time of Domesday Book (1086) the manor was held by the bishop and had 11 hides of land and land for 40 ploughs. The lord had land for 2 ploughs with 7 serfs, and 27 villeins and 20 smallholders had land for 29 ploughs. There was 8 acres of meadow, 100 acres of pasture and 10 acres of underwood. The value of the manor was £17 though it had formerly been worth only £8.〔Thorn, C. et al., ed. (1979) ''Cornwall''. Chichester: Phillimore; entry 2,9〕
Until 1261 the benefice of Lawhitton consisted of a vicarage and a sinecure rectory; they were then combined as a rectory. From then until 1924 there were 60 rectors, of whom probably only 19 were resident.〔''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; pp. 139-40〕 The last of these rectors was Henry Du Boulay who was concurrently Archdeacon of Bodmin from 1892 to 1924〔(Prussia Cove houses ) ("Cornwall" is a mistake here)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cornwall Record Office; du Boulay )〕 Du Boulay was ordained in 1864 and died in 1925;〔Brown, H. M. (1976) ''A Century for Cornwall''. Truro: Blackford; p. 89〕 he was the son of an earlier rector of Lawhitton.
