Liskeard​ in Cornwall

Liskeard is an ancient stannary and market town in the south east of the county, lying seven miles above the beautiful fishing ports of Looe and Polperro. Mentioned in the Domesday book, Liskeard has been holding a market since 1240, which still continues today. This town is the seat of the Caradon District Council and although small, its population has expanded enormously in the last few years, yet it still retains a lot of its individual character.

Heritage

There is a signposted trail around the Heritage sites in this ancient market town. You can pick up a map from Stuart House, Liskeard’s Arts and Heritage Centre. There are also over 100 distinctive Victorian buildings by the architect Henry Rice scattered throughout the town. You can follow a guide from the Henry Rice Society at Stuart House. Liskeard’s library, adjacent to the Stuart House, and the Arts Centre itself were both designed by Henry Rice, as well as the museum on Pike Street and the Conservative Club on Church Street.

History

The Cornish place name element Lis, along with ancient privileges accorded the town, indicates that the settlement was once a high status ‘court’. King Dungarth whose cross is a few miles north near St Cleer is thought to be a descendant of the early 8th century king Gerren of Dumnonia and is said to have held his court in Liskeard (Lis-Cerruyt). Liskeard (Liscarret) was at the time of the Domesday Survey an important manor with a mill rendering 12d. yearly and a market rendering 4s. William the Conqueror gave it to Robert, Count of Mortain by whom it was held in demesne. Ever since that time it has passed with the earldom or Duchy of Cornwall. A Norman castle was built there after the Conquest, which eventually fell into disuse in the later Middle Ages. By 1538 when visited by John Leland only a few insignificant remains were to be seen.

Leisure trails

There are three trails, each has its own blue commemorative plaque (these were unveiled by former town mayor, Sandra Preston).

• Footpath from the town to the railway station: the path was built by Thomas Lang, who was a former mayor, in 1890.
• Trail around the north of the town centre, including the Parade and the ornamental fountain. The fountain was given to the town by Michael Loam, whose father (also called Michael Loam) invented the Man engine (a device for lifting men up and down mineshafts, and used in many mines throughout Cornwall & West Devon).
• Trail around the southern part of the town, commemorating Lt. Lapenotière, who brought back the news of the Battle of Trafalgar to England. For this Lt. Lapenotière was given a silver spice sprinkler by King George III. The sprinkler is still owned by the mayor’s office, and is exhibited occasionally.
