LANTEGLOS, a parish in WEST hundred, county of CORNWALL, 2 miles (E.) from Fowey, containing 973 inhabitants. The living is a vicarage, in the archdeaconry of Cornwall, and diocese of Exeter, rated in the king's books at £14. 7 1., and in the patronage of Lord Grenville. The church is dedicated to St. Lanty. This parish is separated from the town of Fowey by the river and harbour of the same name, for the defence of which there is an old castle corresponding with one on the opposite shore: it includes the fishing village of Polraan, which had anciently a market and a fair, and appears to have been a place of some importance, having furnished one ship and sixty mariners to the fleet before Calais Ln the reign of Edward III. On the brow of a hill rising behind the village are the remains of an ancient chapel, which was dedicated to St. Saviour, still serving as a noted land-mark. Wheal HoweU, a copper mine lately discovered, is in operation. The Barton, a manor-house hi this parish, having been garrisoned for the parliament, sustained much injury in the civil war, in August 1644, and ultimately surrendered to Sir Richard Grenville, who placed in it a garrison for Charles I., that monarch having narrowly escaped being shot here, whilst inspecting the harbour from a fine promenade in the grounds.
