Geography
St Juliot, (Cornish:
Sen Julet), is situated in the deanery of
Trigg Major and the Hundred of Lesnewth. The parish is located
on the North Cornwall coast; it is bounded on the north by St
Gennys, on the east by Otterham, on the south by
Davidstow and Lesnewth,
and on the west by Minster, Forrabury and the Bristol Channel.
The Valency river runs westwards through a steep valley in this
parish to emerge at Boscastle. The church, dedicated to St
Julitta, was the meeting place of the writer Thomas Hardy and
his first wife - Emma Gifford. The parish was the inspiration
for Endelstow in 'A Pair of Blue Eyes'.
GENUKI
This makes St Juliot only half a dozen miles from Tintagel.
St Minver is about twelve miles SW of St Juliot, about a mile in
from the coast
Acknowlegements:
Thanks to Jane OBrien for five generations back of Mary Jose's
parents, and other background.
Research Notes
FHO has an Elizabeth Hooper born at Golant 1653, but that is over 20
miles south of St Juliot
