Extent

Menheniot represented the villages of East Taphouse, Doublebois, St Keyne, Merrymeet, Menheniot and Quethiock, and the hamlets of Redpost, Treburgie Water, Trevelmond, St Pinnock, Trewidland, Horningtops, Pengover Green, Lower Clicker, Doddycross, Trehunist and Blunts. The village of Herodsfoot was shared with the Trelawny division. ^[2]

The division was nominally abolished during boundary changes at the 2013 election, but this had little effect on the ward. Both before and after the boundary changes, the division covered 8,644 hectares in total. ^{[2] [3]}
