Lostwithiel is a civil parish and small town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom at the head of the estuary of the River Fowey. The name Lostwithiel comes from the Cornish lostwydhyel which means tail of a wooded area.

The origin of the name Lostwithiel is a subject much debated. In the 16th century it was thought that the name came from the Roman name Uzella, translated as Les Uchel in Cornish. In the 17th century popular opinion was that the name came from a translation of Lost (a tail) and Withiel (a lion), the lion in question being the lord who lived in the castle.

Lostwithiel is an historic borough. The Lostwithiel constituency elected two members to the Unreformed House of Commons, but was disenfranchised by the Reform Act 1832. It remained a municipal borough until the 1960s, when it became a civil parish.

The seal of the borough of Lostwithiel was a shield charged with a castle rising from water between two thistles, in the water two fish, with the legend Sigillum burgi de Lostwithyel et Penknight in Cornubia. Its mayoral regalia includes a silver oar, signifying its former jurisdiction over the River Fowey.

Lostwithiel railway station is on the Cornish Main Line from Plymouth to Penzance. It is situated on the south side of the town, just across the medieval bridge. The line was originally built for the Cornwall Railway which built its main workshops here, but the surviving workshop buildings were transformed into apartments in 2004. A branch line takes china clay trains to Fowey.

Lostwithiel's most notable buildings are St Bartholomew's Church and Restormel Castle. There is a small museum devoted to the history of the town. Once a stannary town, and for a period the most important in Cornwall, it is now much reduced in importance. There is a fine early fourteenth-century bridge with five pointed arches, and nearby the remains of the Lostwithiel Stannary Palace, with its Coinage Hall – this was the centre of royal authority over tin-mining, and 'coinage' meant the knocking off of the corner of each block of tin for the benefit of the Duchy of Cornwall. The small Guildhall has an arcaded ground floor. The old Grammar School has been converted into dwellings.

St Nicolas Bells for the Christmas Eve Crib Service 2009

SHOTTESWELL, Warwickshire, 6, 10cwt

The hilly village of Shotteswell has a picturesque church with a tower and spire containing a ring of six. The beautiful church contains a Norman north arcade. This was the first tower on the Warwick University ringers outing in March 2011. They are ringing Little Bob Minor.

The bells are remarkably oddstruck, and this oddstruckness combined with the extremely long rope on the tenor meant that I ended up on my knees to ring it.

1 1995 John Taylor Bellfounders Ltd
2 1808 John Briant
3 1674 Henry I Bagley
4 1627 (unidentified)
5 1995 John Taylor Bellfounders Ltd
6 1625 Hugh II Watts (9-1-0 (470kg) in G)

There's also a sanctus bell that I grabbed but I don't know any details of it.

For much better information about the installation, visit

Change Ringing at Sennen, Cornwall

This is the most westerly tower in the whole of England.
Not surprisingly, it is very close to Land's End.
There is also a very nice beach at Sennen.

The tower carries a 5cwt ring of six which are rung from the ground floor.
