==History ==
In Anglo-Saxon times there was a monastery here dedicated to St Stephen whose canons owned the surrounding land including the town of Launceston (i.e. ''Lan-stefan-ton'') (the name did not then belong to Dunheved the present town). A mint was established here as early as the reign of Aethelred II, 976, but only one specimen is known to exist (it weighs 1.61g).〔''British Numismatic Journal''; ser. I, vol. 3, p. 107, pl. 264〕〔Metcalf, David Michael (1998) ''An Atlas of Anglo-Saxon and Norman Coin Finds, c. 973-1086''. Oxford: Ashmolean Museum〕 However, after the Norman Conquest the Norman Earl acquired Dunheved and rebuilt the castle there. He expropriated the market and mint of the canons and the townspeople followed them to Dunheved.〔Cornish Church Guide (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 198〕 (The name of Launceston belonged originally to the monastery and town here, but was then transferred to the town of Dunheved.) The church of St Stephen retained its importance and remained the mother church of many of the surrounding parishes, Tremaine, Egloskerry, Tresmeer, Werrington, St Giles, Laneast, St Thomas, St Mary Magdalene and others throughout the Middle Ages.〔Cornish Church Guide (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 198〕
