St Columb Major
St Columb Major ((コーンウォール語:S. Colom Veur)) is a civil parish and town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Often referred to locally as ''St Columb'', it is situated approximately seven miles (11 km) southwest of Wadebridge and six miles (10 km) east of Newquay
〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 200 ''Newquay & Bodmin'' ISBN 978-0-319-22938-5〕 The designation ''Major'' distinguishes it from the smaller settlement and parish of St Columb Minor on the coast. An electoral ward simply named ''St Columb'' exists with a population at the 2011 census of 5,050.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ward population 2011 )〕
Twice a year the town plays host to "hurling", a medieval game once common throughout Cornwall but now only played in St Columb and St Ives.〔It is also played irregularly and less frequently at Bodmin, but nowhere else.〕 It is played on Shrove Tuesday and then again on the Saturday eleven days later. The game involves two teams of several hundred people (the 'townsmen' and the 'countrymen') who endeavour to carry a silver ball made of apple wood to goals set two miles (3 km) apart, making the parish, around 25 square miles in area, the de facto largest sports ground in the world.
