Nestling at the intersection of three scenic valleys Bodmin, Gover and Pentewan lies St. Austell once described by John Wesley the prolific preacher as 'a neat little town on the side of a fruitful hill'. The town itself has known great prosperity thanks to its rich mining heritage and investment. Named after the Cornish saint 'St. Austol' the earliest historical reference lies in the Doomsday Book (1086) which describes the Manor of Tewington as located near 'St Austell situate not far from the head of Tywardreth baye, nare vnto Gwallon Downes'. Today St. Austell is undergoing an inner regeneration with help from the tourist industry, crowds now come not just to Quaker Meeting House St Austellsee the 'Cornish Alps' but a vast array of other attractions, 'the Eden Project, Heligan Gardens, the China Clay Musuem, Charlestown and many more. We can be assured that St. Austell's rich architectural heritage will be added to as the centre becomes a major tourist attraction in itself.
