Wade Bridge has a considerable number of houses on both sides of the
river; and I apprehend that no inconvenience is now experienced from
high tides on the western side. A toll has been levied for some years
past, in aid of the revenue left for its repair; and in this year
(1833) a railway, or tram road, is being constructed from thence to
Bodmin.
Pendavy was inhabited by Mr. Ustick, the son or successor of Mr.
Richard Ustick, who made the purchase. This gentleman married
Catherine Trewren, daughter of the Rev. Richard Trewren, of
Trewardreva, Rector of Withyell, and Catherine Davies, of St. Earth.
Mr. Ustick parted with Pendavy from a cause similar to that which
induced the former proprietor to sell it; and his widow, left without
a family, or much provision, resided at Padstow till her decease in
1791. Pendavy now belongs to Sir William Molesworth.
Crowan was given by the will of Mrs. Damaris Kirkham to her first
cousin, the Rev. Henry Hawkins Tremayne, and it is now the property of
his son, John Hearle Tremayne, Esq.
The church of this parish is situated in a manner very like to that of
St. Earth, on the river Hayle.
Egles-hayle measures 4,250 statute acres.
