Everything about Treknow totally explained
Treknow is a small village in
Tintagel civil parish,
North Cornwall district,
Cornwall,
England,
United Kingdom.
It is situated 19 miles north of
Bodmin, 4 miles north-west of
Camelford, and 1 mile west of Tintagel,
Treknow is mentioned as a manor (under the name of 'Tretdeno') in
Domesday Book.
Slate was quarried here from approx 1305 to shortly before the
Second World War. A small copper mine also operated in the latter years of the 18th Century.
The acidic local soil was manured with beach sand from nearby
Trebarwith Strand.
Some buildings in the village display a marked
Arts and Crafts influence, probably as a result of the work of architect
Detmar Blow who is known to have worked on the
Old Post Office in Tintagel in 1896.
Treknow has a village hall, and a former small Chapel of the Holy Family (built in 1929), now being redeveloped for private use.
