Bude–Stratton (Cornish: Bud–Strasnedh) is a coastal civil parish with a town council in Cornwall, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 9,242.

Away from the coast, much of the parish is rural in character but it also encompasses the sizeable urban areas of Bude and Stratton. Other settlements include Poughill (formerly a separate parish), Bush, Flexbury, Lynstone, Maer, Northcott, Thorne and Upton.

Bude–Stratton originated in 1900 as an urban district but was demoted in 1974 to a civil parish in the North Cornwall District. Since April 2009 the District has been abolished and replaced by Cornwall Council (a unitary authority).

Research Tips

One of the many maps available on A Vision of Britain through Time is one from the Ordnance Survey Series of 1900 illustrating the parish boundaries of Cornwall at the turn of the 20th century. This map blows up to show all the parishes and many of the small villages and hamlets.

The following websites have pages explaining their provisions in WeRelate's Repository Section. Some provide free online databases.

  • GENUKI makes a great many suggestions as to other websites with worthwhile information about Cornwall as well as providing 19th century descriptions of each of the ecclesiastical parishes.
  • FamilySearch Wiki provides a similar information service to GENUKI which may be more up-to-date.
  • A Vision of Britain through Time has
  1. organization charts of the hierarchies of parishes within hundreds, registration districts and rural and urban districts of the 20th century
  2. excerpts from a gazetteer of circa 1870 outlining individual towns and parishes
  3. reviews of population through the time period 1800-1960
