e/Hundreds of Cornwall

New Query

Information
has glosseng: Cornwall was from Anglo-Saxon times until the 19th century divided into hundreds, some with the suffix shire as in Pydarshire, East and West Wivelshire and Powdershire which were first recorded as names between 1184-1187. In the Cornish language the word for "hundred" is keverang (pl. keverangow) and is the equivalent of the Welsh cantref. The word, in its plural form, appears in place names like Meankeverango in 1580 (now The Enys, north of Prussia Cove and marking the southern end of the Penwith - Kerrier border), Kyver Ankou c.1720 and Assa Govranckowe 1580, Kyver Ankou c.1720 (also on the Penwith - Kerrier border near Scorrier). It turns up in the singular at Buscaverran, just south of Crowan churchtown and also on the Penwith-Kerrier border. Trigg is mentioned by name during the 7th century, as "Pagus Tricurius", "land of three war hosts".
