De Yow, wheffes mis Hedra
Thursday, 6th October
System lenow o lowr dhe brovia boos rag bagasow a trevow ha treow, bes an poblans a gressyas ha thera othom a welyow brâssa dhe dhrei rag yssow moy. Tir a veu parkyes - ha nei a wel henwyn teleryow gen "park" po "parc".
The strip-field system was enough to provide food for groups of farmsteads and villages, but the population grew and there was a need for bigger fields to produce more cereals. Land was enclosed - and we see place names with "park/parc"
PARC-AN-TIDNO Park Fentynnyow (SW7922 Kerrier)
= “springs field” (Parkfyntynowe 1419) - hard to see any springs now!
This overlaps with the strip fields names. Before the 18th century Enclosures Act, fields were sometimes enclosed by common consent (mainly to reclaim waste ground and increase the area for grain production). Notice the pre-occlusion in the later version.
Other names with Park or Parc (omitting names which are entirely English):
PARC-AN-GROWES Park an Grows (SW4430 Penwith)
= “the cross field” The wayside cross can still be seen at the edge of a field.
PARC-AN-ITHON Park an Eythin (SW6328 Kerrier)
= “the furze field”
PARK ERISSEY Park Erysy (SW6944 nr Redruth, Kerrier)
= “Erisey family’s field”
PARKENGEAR Park an Gayr/Ger (SW9047 Probus, Carrick)
= “field of the fort”
The house probably has a view of Golden Camp "fort", but is not actually in a field next to it. It is several fields away.
PARKENGEW Park an Gew (SW7734 Carrick)
= “field of the enclosure”
