Hessenford (Шаблон:Lang-kw) is a small village in south-east Cornwall, United Kingdom, four miles west of St Germans on the A387 Polbathic to Polperro road.[1] The village had a population of 170 at the 2001 census.[2] It is in the civil parish of Deviock. The river Seaton runs through the village and a mill was recorded here in 1286; the last mill closing in the mid-20th century.[1][2]
Hessenford is part of the united parishes of St Germans, Hessenford, Downderry and Tideford.[2] St Anne's Church was built in 1832 as a chapel of ease in the parish of St Germans to serve the growing population of the village.[3] It was built by local subscription, local labour and materials, and was dedicated on 26 September 1833, the perpetual curate being appointed by the vicar of Saint Germans. Hessenford became a parish in its own right by "Order in Council" in 1852 and in 1855 and 1871 the church was rebuilt in early English style.[3] The lychgates, a gift, were built in 1905, the original gates being used for the entrance to the church yard.
A station was to be built at Hessenford as part of the proposed St Germans & Looe Railway in the late 1930s, but the railway was abandoned without the station having been built.[4]
The Seaton Valley Countryside Park is to the south of the village following the river valley to the coast at Seaton.[5]
