Background
History
Creed was an ancient parish in the Powder Hundred of Cornwall. From the 17th century onwards, parishes were given various civil functions under the poor laws in addition to their original ecclesiastical functions. In Creed's case, such civil functions were performed separately for the area of the borough of Grampound and the rest of the parish. In 1866, the legal definition of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws, and so Grampound became a separate civil parish from Creed. Despite the split of the civil parish, Grampound remained part of the ecclesiastical parish of Creed. In 1983 the civil parishes of Creed and Grampound were merged into a new parish…
