Etymology

The history of the name 'Hatt' is believed to originate in a tale, in which an unnamed cardinal was on a visit to Truro. After stopping at a local tavern, he went on his way but had lost his mitre. A local found it, exclaiming "The Cardinal's Hat!" before running it down to Truro. As a reward, the cardinal provided funding for the establishment of a parish and village.^{[ citation needed ]}
