Bodmin.

Links and Info;

Bodmin lies in the centre of the county, along the western edge of Bodmin Moor. Bodmin is a town with a population of 12,778 (2001 census). Bodmin was formerly the county town of Cornwall, but that is now Truro. Bodmin is one of the oldest towns in the county, and the only Cornish settlement of size recorded in the Domesday Book of the late 11th century. In the 15th century the Norman church of St. Petroc was heavily rebuilt and stands as one of the largest churches in Cornwall. Also built at that time was an abbey, now mostly ruined. The town museum is housed in what was once the county prison. Bodmin Gaol was built in 1778 and was the first prison to have separate cells rather than communal accommodation. Bodmin Gaol was the site of the last public hanging in Britain in 1909. The town expanded in the 60s and 70s, when people from the South East of England were re-housed in the area. This has given Bodmin a more cosmopolitan atmosphere. For most of Bodmin's history, the tin industry was a mainstay of the economy.
