About Fencing in Truro
Truro became a stannary town in the fourteenth century, where tin and copper were tested and stamped to verify their quality, and the port continued to flourish long after this role ended in 1838. The city gained its cathedral status in 1877, and Truro Cathedral, built from Cornish granite and Bath stone with its foundation stone laid in 1880, was the first new cathedral built in England since St Paul's, making Truro the administrative capital of Cornwall.
