Stencoose is a village in Cornwall, England, UK, in the parish of St Agnes. It is located north of Redruth, near the village of Mawla.[1][2]
History
The Haweis family owned a forty or fifty acre estate in the village for many years.[3] By 1824 the main villages, aside from St Agnes, in the St Agnes Parish were Mithian, Stenclose (Stencoose), and Malow (Mawla).[4]
Stencoose underwent archaeological exploration in 1996.[5]
Mining
Nearly a mile east of Stencoose is Wheal Concord, a tin mine.[2] The Stencoose and Mawla United Mine was worked 1860-62.[6]
