About Bodmin - show infohide info
Bodmin is a town at the centre of Cornwall, and a former county for the area. To the Western edge of the infamous Bodmin Moor, a 6th century priory was founded by St Petroc, giving Bodmin the alternative name of Petrockstow. It has remained unchanged since the 15th century, and stands as the largest Church in Cornwall. Bodmin’s other notable buildings include the Turret Clock which oversees the ancient Butter Market, as well as the Assize Hall, Shire House, and Bodmin Gaol. Built in 1778, the Bodmin Gaol was a contemporary design built in accordance with the latest prison reforms. Previously, prisoners had been held in the bad conditions of the Cornwall County Gaol located in Launceston Castle. Bodmin Gaol was a Civilian Prison until 1916, taking its last military prisoner in 1922. While later sold and in part demolished, the walls still remain and are an oft visited tourist attraction. Bodmin is also just ten miles from the unique Eden project. The name of Bodmin has been said to stem from an old Cornish word “bod� meaning dwelling, and a form of the word “menegh� meaning monks. However, the name may predate St Petroc’s priory, and so may be named after an earlier monastic settlement instituted by St. Guron, which St. Petroc took as his site. Throughout Bodmin's history, the tin industry drove the town’s economy. Perhaps the most well known part of Bodmin is the legendary Bodmin Moor. It is smaller than most people imagine, measuring just 10x10 miles. The sweeping expanses and amount of archaeological discoveries gives Bodmin the impression of being much larger. Dominated by granite, the Bodmin landscape boasts burial chambers, standing stones, Cornish hedges, clapper bridges, cottages and farms all built from the Bodmin’s own granite. The legends of Bodmin Moor include sightings of a big cat animal over three foot long. Since 1983 there have been more than 60 reports, and despite an inconclusive enquiry by the government many locals remain convinced that there is one or more big cats at large roaming the moors.
