Background
History
Ruan Lanihorne lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Ruanlanihorne, as the name of the parish is spelled, is entirely rural in character with wooded areas in the river valleys. Apart from the church town of Ruan Lanihorne, the only other settlements of any size are in the south of the parish: Treworga and Ruan High Lanes which is right on the parish's boundary with Veryan. The name Lanihorne is perhaps a modified form of Laryhorn (the Cornish name of this place). The village was, from the mid 12th century onwards, the site of an adulterine castle of the Arcedekne family and the main settlement was at Sheepstor (Sheepstall) some distance away towards Tregony…
