About Fencing in Lostwithiel
Lostwithiel became the medieval capital of Cornwall around 1280, when Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, built the Duchy Palace as a base for the Shire Hall, Exchequer and Stannary Gaol, administering both county and tin trade affairs from the town's Great Hall. Lostwithiel remained one of only four stannary towns where smelted tin was tested and taxed until the Stannary Parliament was discontinued in 1752, though mining debris silting up the River Fowey eventually restricted the size of ships able to reach its quay.
