Carnebone
Carnebone (Cornish: Karn Ebwynn, meaning Ebwyn's rock-pile) is a small hamlet and farm in the parish of Wendron in Cornwall, England.[1] It lies to the east of Wendron, to the northeast of Trevenen, just to the west of Seworgan, along the A394 road, 3.8 miles (6.1 km) northeast of Helston.[2]
History
Carnebone was documented in 1298 as Carnebwen.[3] It has also been spelled "Carnbane" in some sources.[4] Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges believe that the name of a prominent Cornish family named "Kneebone" derived from Carnebone and that the name was altered "by folk etymology".[5]
The area has long been associated with tin mining.[6][7] In the 1600s nearby Seworgan was known to contain a blowing-house as early as 1649.[6] Carnebone & Fatwork United tin mining operated from 1853-6 before it was merged.[7] Carnebone and nearby Tregonebris were documented selling tin in 1856 for £76.[8] Tin mining continued and the engine house of East Wheal Lovell produced some 2,405 tons between 1859 and 1891.[9] Carnebone Moor is in the vicinity,[10] and the hamlet contains the Carnebone Cottage.[11]
