From the Wikipedia article
St Agnes (Cornish: Breanek) is a civil parish and village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The village is about five miles (8.0 km) north of Redruth and ten miles (16 km) southwest of Newquay. At the 2021 census, the parish had a population of 8,591. The town of St Agnes, a popular coastal tourist spot, lies on a main road between Redruth and Perranporth. It was a prehistoric and modern centre for mining of copper, tin and arsenic until the 1920s. Local industry has also included farming, fishing and quarrying, and more recently tourism. The St Agnes district has a heritage of industrial archaeology and much of the landscape is of considerable geological interest. There are also stone-age remains in the parish. The manor of Tywarnhaile was one of the 17 Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall.
