St. Martin-by-Looe (Cornish: Penndrumm), also known as St. Martin (near Liskeard) or, simply, St. Martin, is a coastal civil parish in south Cornwall, England. The parish is immediately east of the town and parish of Looe, seven miles (11 km) south of Liskeard. The population of the parish in the 2001 census was 321. To the north, the parish is bordered by Morval parish, to the east by St. Germans parish (now Deviock parish), to the west by Looe parish and to the south by the sea. Until 1845 the parish also included East Looe. St. Martin-by-Looe was part of the Liskeard Rural District from 1894 until 1974. [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.
