Perranarworthal ((コーンウォール語:Peran ar Wodhel))〔(Place-names in the Standard Written Form (SWF) ) : (List of place-names agreed by the MAGA Signage Panel ). Cornish Language Partnership.〕 is a civil parish and village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is about four miles (6.5 km) northwest of Falmouth and five miles (8 km) southwest of Truro.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕 Perran Wharf is the area of the parish beside the River Kennall (a tributary of Restronguet Creek) where there were wharves and a quay. This is currently being developed into (Perran Foundry ) where there will be new homes and working space settled amidst the history of the site. The other settlements in the parish are Perranwell and Perranwell Station. Perranarworthal parish is bordered on the north by Kea parish, on the east by Restronguet Creek and Mylor parish, on the south by St Gluvias and Stithians parishes and on the west by Gwennap parish. The parish population at the 2011 census was 1,496. The name derives from the Manor of Arworthal which has had a number of spellings in the past including Hareworthal (1187), Arwoethel and Arwythel. By the 18th century two names appear on maps “Perran Arworthal” meaning St Piran’s by the creek or estuary. William Penaluna described the settlement in 1838.〔(An Historical Survey of the County of Cornwall, Etc.: In Two Volumes By W. Penaluna Volume 2, pages 157-158. Google Books - Harvard copy, formerly owned by Davies Gilbert )〕 The 15th century Anglican parish church dedicated to Saint Piran was rebuilt to the design of James Piers St Aubyn in 1884. The original granite tower remains from the 15th-century church. Pevsner described the church as "indifferent".〔Pevsner, N. (1970) ''Cornwall''; 2nd ed. Penguin Books; p. 139〕 == Historic foundry == It was the home of the Perran Iron Foundry,〔(Cornish Mining History website article on Perran Foundry ) and (Cornwall Industrial Settlements Initiative Report: Perranarworthal )〕 an innovative concern, run by the Fox family of Falmouth and other Quaker business families. It was set up on the site of a tin smelting works in 1791. The foundry was later operated in partnership with the Williams family, and in 1858, it was sold to them. The creek serving the factory silted up and mining in Cornwall declined. The wharf had been used to import timber for the mining industry from Scandinavia. The slump in the mining industry during the 1870s hit Perran Foundry badly and it closed in March 1879 with the loss of 400 jobs, causing great distress in the parish. In April 1879, the 'Royal Cornwall Gazette' reported that a soup kitchen had been open since January: '793 people had attended and 1,240 quarts of soup were distributed'. The buildings including Manor Mill on the opposite side of the road were later adapted by the Edwards Brothers for the milling and storage of grains and animal foods, and also cloth dyeing; another waterwheel was added. Over the years there have been ambitious plans which have come and gone, but little changed at the foundry site for many years apart from the gradual deterioration of the buildings.〔 〕 The site has been used for various purposes since but closed in 1986. In 2005, the owners, North Hill Estates Ltd., applied for planning permission to redevelop the site. The proposal was for a mix of live/work units and residential accommodation. Further consultation on their proposal was ongoing (2007).〔"Further consultation on foundry scheme" article by Melanie Jago in ''The West Briton'' July 12, 2007, page 33.〕〔(Carrick District Council Planning Application PA16/2574/05/M )〕〔''West Briton'' 27 September 2007, page 30 "Foundry go-ahead".〕 Planning was approved and the site has been under development in recent years to enable new homes to flourish from the foundations of its 200-year history.〔(Western Morning News 25.5.13 )〕 One of the site’s most iconic buildings is (The Hammer Mill ) where all of the workings took place. This will be the first opportunity for people to acquire a home in this historic setting, as the show home opens for private viewings on 24 June 2013 with (Heather & Lay ) and (Savills ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perranarworthal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
