History

The Haweis family owned a forty or fifty acre estate in the village for many years.[3] By 1824 the main villages, aside from St Agnes, in the St Agnes Parish were Mithian, Stenclose (Stencoose), and Malow (Mawla).[4]

Stencoose underwent archaeological exploration in 1996.[5]

Mining

Nearly a mile east of Stencoose is Wheal Concord, a tin mine.[2] The Stencoose and Mawla United Mine was worked 1860–62.[6]

gollark: I mean, openly-ish, given the current state of things, not fully openly.
gollark: I, for one, like having a functional modern economy, although there are large and significant problems.
gollark: A lot of the time "revolutions" seem to just be because one smaller group wants to impose a view which "everyone totally agrees with" on everyone else.
gollark: You can do that nonviolently. I suspect most people do not actually feel the same way, so it won't do much.
