Stannary description |
---|
The word stannary is historically applied to:* A tin mine, especially in Cornwall or Devon, South West England * A region containing tin works (mines and refineries, assay offices, etc.) * A chartered entity comprising such a region, its works, and its workers * The town constituting the administrative centre of such a region (a "stannary town") * Any of the courts or parliaments established to maintain the rights of such a charter (see Stannary Courts and Parliamentsoften in the plural) * The Lord Warden of the Stannaries.The principal role of a stannary town was the collection of tin coinage, the proceeds of which were passed to the Duchy of Cornwall or the Crown. With the abolition of tin coinage in 1838 (following extensive petitioning by the Cornish tin industry for simplification of the taxation rules), the principal purpose for coinage town status ceased. However coinage towns still retained certain historic rights to appoint stannators to Cornwall's Stannary Parliament. |
