History
The Parish of Landulph
The Parish of Landulph covers around 2,200 acres of land and 480 acres of water and foreshore. It consists mainly of farms and hamlets, with the village of Cargreen as the principal centre of population. The parish is bounded by water on three sides: the River Tamar to the north and east, and Kingsmill Lake to the south. This unique setting has shaped Landulph’s history and continues to attract new residents who enjoy sailing and water sports.
History of 1914/18 War Memorial Clock
10th November 2025
The School clock is elderly and in need of restoration.
At the end of the First World War, a parish memorial committee discussed a suitable Memorial to those who had served. A granite stone was suggested but at the time plans were in hand to build a new school. Mrs. Olive Prideaux (Pauline Rutherford’s grandmother) a teacher at the old school suggested a clock at the new school would be a fitting Memorial.
The general consensus was this was a good idea and the building plans were altered to incorporate a clock tower and a chamber for the weights between the two classrooms. The school was opened 19th November 1923; this can be seen on the inscription below the clock today.
