It is on the west side of the Hayle Estuary, about southeast of St Ives and one mile (1.6 km) west of Hayle.〔Ordnance Survey: Landranger map sheet 203 ''Land's End'' ISBN 978-0-319-23148-7〕 The village is part of St Ives civil parish (meaning that it falls within the parish area of St Ives Town Council) and also in St Ives Parliamentary constituency. The birth, marriage, and death registration district is Penzance. There is a ward (called Lelant and Carbis Bay). Its population at the 2011 census was 3,892 The South West Coast Path, which follows the coast of south west England from Somerset to Dorset passes through Lelant, along the estuary and above Porth Kidney Sands.〔
==History==
The name is derived from the Cornish ''lann'' and ''Anta'', meaning ''church-site of Anta''. The earliest attested spelling is Lananta in about 1170.〔Archives of the Dean and Chapter of Exeter, Number 3672.〕〔For further information about the forms of this place name see: Gover, J. E. B. (1948) ''The place names of Cornwall'' volume 6, pages 635-658 (typescript at the Royal Institution of Cornwall and reference copy at the Cornwall Record Office, Truro); research note books on Cornish place names of Oliver Padel (at the Institute of Cornish Studies, Tremough); and 〕 Nothing is known about Anta, and Lelant parish church is dedicated to St Uny.〔(GENUKI website ); Lelant. Retrieved April 2010.〕 However, Carbis Bay church is dedicated to St Anta. Langdon (1896) records nine stone crosses in the parish, of which four are in the churchyard.
At one time Lelant was an important town and seaport having a market and a custom-house. A parish terrier of 1727 describing the bounds of the glebe land states that about 50 acres of land, and the vicarage was overwhelmed by sand. The terrier does not give a date but does say that it was not in the living memory of man. In the spring of 1875, during the building of the railway line between St Erth railway station and St Ives several human skeletons, graves and a building was found by a gang of navvys. Observers' of the building thought it was of an ecclesiastical nature, and it is possible that it is the site of a pre-Norman church, burial ground and the former Lelant town.〔 Lelant was formerly an ecclesiastical parish being the mother church of both Towednack and St Ives. The parish church of St Uny's Church, Lelant is situated at the east end of the village on the edge of the towans and overlooking the West Cornwall Golf Club.〔 Lelant was a seaport in the Middle Ages, but the trade was lost to St Ives when the estuary silted up.
At Lower Lelant is a house called The Abbey which was built in the 16th century and renovated in the 18th.〔Pevsner, N. (1970) Cornwall, 2nd ed. Penguin Books; p. 100〕 In 1831 it was reported that much granite was quarried here, and that there were several tin mines nearby.〔 The family of Praed were landowners here for many centuries. The early 19th century politician and poet Winthrop Mackworth Praed was a member of the family, though he did not live in Cornwall.
