Rock is a coastal fishing village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is opposite Padstow on the northeast bank of the River Camel estuary. The village is in the civil parish of St Minver Lowlands about 4 miles north west of Wadebridge.
The main residential area is set back from the coast along the road from Pityme and St Minver. To the northeast, Rock is contiguous with the settlements of Splatt and Pityme. Stoptide is a southern extension of Rock. Rock is best known for its estuary frontage. To the northwest, the road runs beside the estuary as a cul de sac giving access to the ferry boarding point and an intertidal beach backed by sand dunes which at low water extend for two miles past Brea Hill to Daymer Bay. To the south is the small coastal settlement of Porthilly with St Michael's Church situated on the bank of Porthilly Cove.
Rock Dunes, sand dunes to the west of the village on the banks of the River Camel, are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for their flora and geology. These include various vegetation found in these embryo dunes as well as various types of slate.
The original name recorded in 1303 was Penmayn, Cornish for the end or head of stones. An alternative, Blaketorre, Black Tor, is found in 1337. This had become Black Rock by the 18th century and was subsequently shortened to Rock. The name of the ferry that operates between Rock and Padstow recalls the old place name.
Rock is popular with holidaymakers and is a well-established centre for water sports including dinghy racing, waterskiing, windsurfing, and sailing. Rock Sailing Club's headquarters, in a converted warehouse on a wharf, is a local landmark. Rock has Cornwall's highest proportion of second homes in the county.
The Black Tor Ferry operates across the river to the town of Padstow, and this is a major source of tourist traffic through Rock. The early 21st century has seen extensive building work and increased prosperity for Rock, there a large number of holiday homes, as well as a number of retail outlets. Rock is also home to Sharp's Brewery, a real ale brewery established as an independent in the mid 1990s, but taken over by Molson Coors in 2011 to secure the Doom Bar bitter brand.
Rock has been referred to as 'Britain's Saint-Tropez' and the 'Kensington of Cornwall' due to its popularity with affluent holidaymakers. The Daily Telegraph has also called it Chelsea-on-Sea and stated that David Cameron's favourite beer is brewed there.

Song Title: William Cobb
Song Lyrics
William Cobb went off to war
Where the guns would rattle and roar
William Cobb went off to war
With no idea what was in store
Charles and Fanny’s younger son
Went to fight in World War One
He lived among the booming bombs
He died in the Battle of the Somme
William Cobb went off to war
Where the guns would rattle and roar
William Cobb went off to war
With no idea what was in store
North Street Stanground was his home
Marching to his fate unknown
Never to return once more
He would die at thirty four
William Cobb went off to war
Where the guns would rattle and roar
William Cobb went off to war
With no idea what was in store
He was one of thirty two
Who came from here like me and you
And though these people have all gone
They’re remembered in this song
William Cobb went off to war
Where the guns would rattle and roar
William Cobb went off to war
With no idea what was in store x 2

St Michael's chapel, Roche rock, Roche, Cornwall
Roche rock (100 feet high) must be one of the most impressive religious monuments in Cornwall. Some have said that Roche could be the saint from southern France, though that is doubtful, though the name is definately french for rock. The first occupant of Roche rock was a Welsh man, Saint Conan/Gonand, who went on to become the first bishop of Cornwall. The chapel being built in 1409AD (so quite modern!), named after St Michael, the archangel/saint of high places. There is a well nearby thet is said to ebb with the tide. A little further away is the Holywell of St Gundred (1/4 of a mile northside of old A30 near Victoria inn) ,a lady who looked after her father, who suffered with leparosy, who lived in a cell on the rock here, after St Conan. I foolishly climbed up the step ladder one handed whilst filming... I advise you not to do such, the angels must have been on my side that day!

St. Michael's Mount near Marazion Cornwall - August 16
St Michael's Mount (Cornish: Karrek Loos yn Koos, meaning hoar rock in woodland,) is a small tidal island in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, United Kingdom. The island is a civil parish and is linked to the town of Marazion by a man-made causeway of granite setts, passable between mid-tide and low water. The population of this parish in 2011 was 35.[3] It is managed by the National Trust, and the castle and chapel have been the home of the St Aubyn family since approximately 1650. The earliest buildings, on the summit, date to the 12th century.
Historically, St Michael's Mount was a Cornish counterpart of Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, France (with which it shares the same tidal island characteristics and the same conical shape, in spite of being much smaller), when it was given to the Benedictine religious order of Mont Saint-Michel by Edward the Confessor in the 11th century.
St Michael's Mount is one of forty-three (unbridged) tidal islands that one can walk to from mainland Britain. Part of the island was designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1995 for its geology.
Pre-history
There is evidence of people living in the area during the Neolithic (from circa 4000 to 2500 BCE years). The key discovery was of a leaf-shaped flint arrowhead, which was found within a shallow pit on the lower eastern slope, now part of the modern gardens. Other pieces of flint have been found, and at least two could be Mesolithic (circa 8000 to 3500 BCE).
None of the flints, so far recovered, can be positively dated to the Bronze Age (circa 2500 to 800 BCE) although any summit cairns would have most likely been destroyed when building the castle. A hoard of copper weapons, once thought to have been found on the Mount, are now thought to have been found on nearby Marazion Marsh.
History
St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, 1900
It may have been the site of a monastery in the 8th – early 11th centuries and Edward the Confessor gave it to the Norman Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel. It was a priory of that abbey until the dissolution of the alien houses as a side-effect of the war in France by Henry V, when it was given to the Abbess and Convent of Syon at Isleworth, Middlesex in 1424.
Early Medieval period
The monastic buildings were built during the 12th century and in 1275 an earthquake destroyed the original Priory Church, which was rebuilt in the late 14th century, remaining in use
Sir Henry de la Pomeroy captured the Mount, on behalf of Prince John, in the reign of King Richard I
Siege of 1473-4
John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford, seized and held it during a siege of twenty-three weeks against 6,000 of Edward IV's troops.
Occupation by Perkin Warbeck[edit]
Perkin Warbeck occupied the Mount in 1497. Sir Humphrey Arundell, Governor of St Michael's Mount, led the rebellion of 1549.
Earthquake
In 1755 the Lisbon earthquake caused a tsunami to strike the Cornish coast over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) away. The sea rose six feet (2 m) in ten minutes at St Michael's Mount, ebbed at the same rate, and continued to rise and fall for five hours. The 19th-century French writer Arnold Boscowitz claimed that great loss of life and property occurred upon the coasts of Cornwall.

St Michael de Rupe Church in Brentor on Dartmoor
The Church of St Michel de Rupe (Saint Michael of the Rock) atop the Tor dates to the 13th century, and measures 15 feet (4.6 m) wide and 37 feet (11 m) long. The tower is 40 feet (12 m) high[4] and houses five bells.[5] At one point, the Church may have been used as a Beacon tower, used to spread word of enemies seen out to sea (see also Spanish Armada).
The Church has a capacity of approximately forty people. Although there is a newer (19th century) church (Christchurch) in the village, which is used for many services, St Michael's is still used on Christmas Day, Easter Day and for Evensong during the summer. In 1995 the Church was struck by lightning, which caused extensive damage, but this has since been repaired.
Legends
There are many legends surrounding Brent Tor. One of the best-known is that of the Merchant and the Storm. According to this story, an early medieval merchant paid for the church to be completed after nearly being shipwrecked.[6][7] The churchyard was the scene of filming for the BBC TV version of Jamaica Inn.[8]

Penzance Cornwall - July 2016
Penzance (/pɛnˈzæns/; Cornish: Pennsans) is a town, civil parish and port in Cornwall, in England, United Kingdom. It is well known for being the most westerly major town in Cornwall[2] and is approximately 75 miles (121 km) west of Plymouth and 300 miles (480 km) west-southwest of London. Situated in the shelter of Mount's Bay, the town faces south-east onto the English Channel, is bordered to the west by the fishing port of Newlyn, to the north by the civil parish of Madron and to the east by the civil parish of Ludgvan.
The civil parish includes the town of Newlyn and the villages of Mousehole, Paul, Gulval and Heamoor.
Granted various royal charters from 1512 onwards and incorporated in 1614, it has a population of 21,200 (2011 census).
Etymology
Penzance has the same name with the same etymology as a homonymic village of Léon (Brittany), on the other side of the Channel, Penzé (fr), pronounced Penzes in Breton. It refers to a word meaning in old Breton, essentially the same language as old Cornish, wrecking.
Toponymy
Penzance (Pennsans), or holy headland in the Cornish language, is a reference to the location of a chapel nowadays called St Anthony's that is said to have stood over a thousand years ago on the headland to the west of what became Penzance Harbour. There are no early documents mentioning an actual dedication to St Anthony which seems to depend entirely on tradition and may be groundless.
History
Prehistory to Early Medieval period
Approximately 400 prehistoric stone axes, known as Group 1 axes and made from greenstone, have been found all over Britain, which from petrological analysis appear to come from west Cornwall. Although the quarry has not been identified, it has been suggested that the Gear, a rock now submerged half a mile from the shore at Penzance, may be the site.

The Church of St Michel de Rupe (Saint Michael of the Rock) atop the Tor dates to the 13th century, and measures 15 feet (4.6 m) wide and 37 feet (11 m) long. The
tower is 40 feet (12 m) high and houses five bells. At one point, the Church may
have been used as a Beacon tower, used to spread word of enemies seen out to sea.
Around the Tor are Iron Age earthworks, the remnants of a Hill fort. Unusually, the fortifications are at the base of the Tor, rather than the summit as is more normal.
No serious archaeological work has been carried out on the site. However, the northern ramparts in particular are well preserved, displaying a multi-vallate pattern characteristic of the Iron-A, or early -B, culture. There are three distinct consecutive ramparts in this sector, and traces of internal partitioning.
The Church has a capacity of approximately forty people. St Michael's is still used on Christmas Day, Easter Day and for Evensong during the summer. In 1995 the Church was struck by lightning, which caused extensive damage, but this has since been repaired.

WIKIPEDIA: St. Michael’s Indian Residential School (1929-1975) in Alert Bay, British Columbia, and sometimes referred to as Alert Bay Residential School, was a Canadian residential school operated by the Anglican Church of Canada for First Nations children in the 20th Century.
The first residential school in Alert Bay was built in 1882. St. Michael's was constructed in 1929 as a regional facility to serve aboriginal communities from Campbell River to Prince Rupert, British Columbia and closed in 1975. It was built at a cost of about $250,000 by the federal Department of Indian Affairs next to the U’Mista Cultural Centre which housed the potlatch collection seized by the federal government in 1921 from the Kwakwaka’wakw people.[1]
With space for 200 live-in students, it was the largest operated by the Anglican Church at that time.[2] At the school, First Nations students were prohibited from speaking their language and kept away from their families for years.
Aboriginal children from Northern Vancouver Island and the province's north coast, including from Bella Bella, Bella Coola, the Nisga’a territories and Haida Gwaii were educated at the four-storey red-brick building in the remote community of Alert Bay.[3]
In 1934, the Indian Residential School Commission of the Missionary Society of the Church of England. published that it thanked “Almighty God for what has been accomplished: for a race of people brought in the shortest period of time known in history from the most debasing savagery to citizenship both in the Kingdom of our God and in his God-blessed Dominion of Canada.”
