St. Anthony, Cornwall, 1874. View '...near Saltash and Devonport, upon the shores of an inlet of the Hamoaze, or great estuary of the Tamar, which separates Cornwall from Devon, west of Plymouth Sound. The twin manors of East and West Anthony have a certain degree of dignity in the topographical and genealogical history of the West of England. They comprise what is called the church town and the hamlets of Torpoint, Wilcove, and Tregantle, besides the parish of St. John, with Tregenhawke. The original lords of St. Anthony were the Arcedeckne family, from whom, by different marriage alliances, the two manors separately passed to the Carews and Arundels; thence to the Courtenays and Poles. That eminent scholar Richard Carew - in the time of Queen Elizabeth and James I. - who was associated with Camden, Stow, and Spelman in founding the Society of Antiquaries, about 1598, was the squire of East Anthony. His book, "The Survey of Cornwall," is one of the best works upon the antiquities of this county. The church here contains his monumental tomb'. From "Illustrated London News", 1874.
