Stencoose (Cornish : Stummkoos) is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, in the parish of St Agnes. It is located north of Redruth, near the village of Mawla. [1] [2]
The Haweis family owned a forty or fifty acre estate in the village for many years. [3] By 1824 the main villages, aside from St Agnes, in the St Agnes Parish were Mithian, Stenclose (Stencoose), and Malow (Mawla). [4]
Stencoose underwent archaeological exploration in 1996. [5]
Nearly a mile east of Stencoose is Wheal Concord, a tin mine. [2] The Stencoose and Mawla United Mine was worked 1860–62. [6]
