Administrative history

[edit | edit source]

Tywardreath was an ancient parish in the Powder Hundred of Cornwall. In 1934 the parish was absorbed into the St Austell Urban District. Tywardreath continued to exist as a civil parish until 1968, but as an urban parish after 1934 it was ineligible for a parish council; St Austell Urban District Council was the lowest tier of local government.[8] St Austell Urban District was replaced in 1968 by the larger borough of St Austell with Fowey, which was in turn abolished six years later in 1974 to become part of the larger borough of Restormel. A new civil parish of Tywardreath was created in 1983.[9] The parish was renamed from Tywardreath to Tywardreath and Par in 2000.[10]

Restormel was abolished in 2009. Cornwall County Council then took on district-level functions, making it a unitary authority, and was renamed Cornwall Council.[11][12]
