Breage, Cornwall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Breage (Cornish:Eglosvreg) is a village and civil parish, to the west of Helston, in the English county of Cornwall.

It is named after Saint Breage, a missionary from Ireland. Other major villages in the Parish are Ashton, Godolphin Cross, Carleen, Balwest, Great Works and the coastal village of Praa Sands. Other than Praa Sands, all the other places were tin and copper mining villages whereas Breage, from the number of fine buildings still evident, was where the mine owners (or Mine Captains) lived. A relict of the past, the village water pump (presumably disconnected), still stands today. Most of today's working population are commuters, travelling to Helston, RNAS Culdrose, Porthleven, Penzance, Falmouth or even further afield. Some residents are still involved in farming or smallholding in the surrounding area.
