St Breock ((コーンウォール語:Nanssans)) is a village and a civil parish in north Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The spelling St Breoke was also formerly in use. St Breock village is 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Wadebridge immediately to the south of the Royal Cornwall Showground. The village lies on the eastern slope of the wooded Nansent valley. The civil parish of St Breock is in Bodmin Registration District and the population in the 2001 census was 703, increasing to 725 at the 2011 census. The parish extends approx five miles (8 kilometres) south of Wadebridge. To the north, the parish is bounded by the River Camel, to the west by St Issey parish and to the east by Egloshayle parish. Together with Egloshayle it was one of the two parishes within which the town of Wadebridge developed. ==Parish Church== The parish church is dedicated to St Briocus and dates back to the 13th century although it was extensively rebuilt in 1677. (The aisle, south transept and porches are additions of the 15th and 16th centuries.) The church has a battlemented tower with a ring of five bells. It is situated beside the stream in the valley bottom and in 1965 suffered damage in a major flood. The nave is longer than usual in a parish church: this may be connected to the fact that the Bishops of Exeter owned the manor of Pawton before the Reformation and had a palace there. In 1790 the rector here was John Molesworth and his wife Catherine Molesworth was an amateur artist.〔F. M. O'Donoghue, ‘Molesworth (Aubyn ), Catherine (1760–1836)’, rev. Annette Peach, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 30 March 2015 )〕 The church contains some fine monuments to members of the Tredeneck family and one of 1598 to William and Jane Viell. The heirs of the Viell family in the 17th century were the Prideaux family of Prideaux Place, which still owned the manor of St Breock in 1968.〔Delderfield, Eric R., West Country Historic Houses and their Families, Newton Abbot, 1968, p.124〕 There is a brass probably also to a Tredeneck, ca. 1520.〔Dunkin, E. (1882) Monumental Brasses. London, Spottiswoode〕 The church organ was the work of 'Father' Willis.〔Rendell, Joan (1982) ''Cornish Churches''. St Teath: Bossiney Books; pp. 18-19〕 Seth Ward, afterwards a bishop, was briefly the incumbent here. 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「St Breock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
