I am looking at Craig Wetherhill's words on the names of places. Some names are very old. They can talk about animals on a farm in a time gone by. What animals were important? Here are names with "Farm" and an animal. These are pre-Tudor. I can see one ram, one dog, two horses, four cows or oxen, and two pigs or sows - animals for food, hunting and work. Now there is a two universities in Tremough (the pig farm) and Tregye (the dog breeding farm) is a summer holiday home.
