Feock ((コーンウォール語:Lannfyek))〔() 〕 is a coastal civil parish and village in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is about south of Truro at the head of Carrick Roads on the River Fal.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 204 ''Truro & Falmouth'' ISBN 978-0-319-23149-4〕 To the south, the parish is bordered by Restronguet Creek and to the east by Carrick Roads and the River Fal. To the north it is bordered by Kea parish and to the west by Perranarworthal parish.〔() 〕 Feock parish includes the villages of Carnon Downs, Chycoose, Devoran, Goon Piper, Harcourt, Killiganoon, Penelewey, Penpol, Porthgwidden, Restronguet Point, Trevilla, and Trelissick. The electoral ward is called Feock and Kea.

The King Harry Ferry takes cars across the River Fal to Philleigh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GENUKI article on Feock )〕 Feock lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Almost a third of Cornwall has AONB designation, with the same status and protection as a National Park. ==Parish church== The Parish Church is dedicated to Saint Feoca, about whom very little is known. Although the saint is usually assumed to have been female, Hals described a stained glass window in the church with St Feock portrayed as a man.〔Doble, G. H. (1964) ''The Saints of Cornwall: part 3''. Truro: Dean and Chapter; pp. 53-56〕 The church has a 13th-century tower and font, the remainder being 19th century.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) ''Cornwall'', 2nd ed. rev. Enid Radcliffe. Penguin Books (reissued by Yale U. P.) ISBN 0-300-09589-9; p. 68〕 In 1640, according to Hals, the sacrament was administered by the vicar in Cornish as the people did not understand English.〔Hals ''Parochial History of Cornwall''. (Unpublished Manuscript). In E. D. Marquand (1882) "Meetings of the Society". ''Transcriptions of the Penzance Natural History and Antiquarian Society''.〕 Feock feast was observed on February 2nd.〔''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; p. 10〕 Thomas Lobb, Victorian botanist and plant hunter is buried in Devoran churchyard. Trelissick Garden has been in the ownership of the National Trust since 1955 when it was donated by Ida Copeland following the death of her son Geoffrey, a stained glass memorial—bearing the Copeland Crest—remains to this effect in the small church in Feock. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Feock, Cornwall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
