About this Assembly
The Community Assembly of Veryan is located on the Roseland Penninsula in Cornwall which is part of the Kernow Territory. Veryan has been inhabited for thousands of years. The earliest remains date from the Bronze Age.
The burial mound (tumulus) known as Carne Beacon is one of the largest in the British Isles and is said to be the burial place of the 6th century King Geraint. Nearby is Veryan Castle, an Iron Age hillfort, known today as the Ringarounds.
At the time of the Domesday Book of 1086 the area was contained in the manor of Elerchi (now Elerkey). The name is believed to derive from the Cornish word for 'swan' - 'elerch'. The name Veryan is believed to have derived from a corruption of the name of Saint Symphorian, the Saint to whom the parish church is dedicated. By 1525 name was contracted to 'Severian' and then to 'Saint Veryan.
