We hope you find your visit helpful, and that you do call back again, as the content is regularly updated.

The aim of the site is to inform and help local residents to know what is happening on their doorsteps, and help understand the role of the Parish Council. The site includes information on council meetings, agendas, and minutes of past meetings.

We also aim for this site to be useful for people thinking of visiting or moving to the area, and also for those researching family history. With many people originally from the local vicinity now far and wide, a parish website can be an invaluable tool in your research. Please use the Search facility if you want to search for anything on the Website.

If you have any comments or suggestions do please let us know using our Contact Form. Also advise us of your news and views, and give us details of events, and local groups in St Hilary and surrounding area, past, present and the future. We will do our best to include them on the site for you.

As anyone who knows the area will realise, the geographical footprint is sizeable. However, from the 2001 census we know that there are only 196 dwellings housing just 552 registered voters, all of whom have their individual needs met through this their first tier of local government.

St Hilary Parish is one of the oldest and geographically largest parishes in Cornwall, with origins dating back to the 12th Century (for more see the Parish History page), and covers approximately 2,923 acres. St Hilary Parish extends as far west as Plain An Gwarry, east to Tregembo in Relubbus, south as far as the coast at Cudden Point, whilst the northern boundary goes a good way towards St Erth !!

What this size does give us however is arguably the best footpath walks of any parish in the county … and lots of them for you to enjoy !! Please see the Public Rights Of Way section of the site for some lovely ways to enjoy our beautiful parish.
