St. Ewe (Cornish: Lannewa) is a village and civil parish in the middle of Cornwall, England. The village is situated approximately five miles (8 km) southwest of St. Austell. In the hamlet of Tucoyse there was a Wesleyan Methodist chapel, and there were formerly Bible Christian chapels at Polmassick, Paramore, Kestle and Lower Sticker. The Heligan estate is located at the eastern edge of the parish of St Ewe, overlooking the small port of Mevagissey. The long-term home of the Tremayne family, the estate is now best known as the location of the Lost Gardens of Heligan a recently restored Victorian garden. St. Ewe was part of the St. Austell Rural District from 1894 until 1934. In 1934 part of the parish was absorbed into St. Austell Urban District and the remainder stayed in the Rural District. [edit] Research TipsOne of the many maps available on A Vision of Britain through Time is one from the Ordnance Survey Series of 1900 illustrating the parish boundaries of Cornwall at the turn of the 20th century. This map blows up to show all the parishes and many of the small villages and hamlets. The following websites have pages explaining their provisions in WeRelate's Repository Section. Some provide free online databases.
