Churchtown/Madron place names
I note a lot of people refer to a place of birth etc as Churchtown, Madron (including myself) I have just discovered this is incorrect. Madron was the parish including Penzance. The village of Madron had the parish Church therefore Madron was the churchtown of the Madron parish. Also if you have come across Landithy, this was the name of the churchtown farm at Madron. Hope this helps a few.
