Roche (pronounced Roach, Cornish: Tregarrek, meaning homestead of the rock) is a village and civil parish in the middle of Cornwall, England. On the northern flank of the village is the 20-metre (66-foot) high Roche Rock, a large granite outcrop. Nearby are the towns of Bodmin and St. Austell, as well as the Eden Project. Roche was part of the St. Austell Rural District from 1894 until 1934. In 1934 it was split with part being absorbed by St. Austell Urban District and the rest remaining with St. Austell Rural District. [edit] Research TipsOne 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.
