 Welcome to our page of accommodation in St Austell!
St Austell was transformed in the mid-eighteenth century
by the chemist Williarn Cookworthy, by the discovery of huge
reserves of china clay to the north and west of the village.By
the 1850s, some 7,000 men, women and children were employed in
the extraction, processing, transportation and export of the
clay, and heavy wagons constantly rumbled through the streets
of St Austell on their way to the ports of Charlestown, Pentewan
and Par. The town's history is reflected in the 1791 Market house
and the Holy Trinity Church. |
