History

In medieval times the parish lay within the royal Manor of Brannel.St Dennis and St Michael Coerhays were daughter churches . From the 16th century the rectors resided at latter so that it came to be regarded as the mother church. The manor of Brannel was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was held by Robert,Count of Mortain and there one and a half hides of land. There was land for 20 ploughs; the lord had half a hide of land with 3 ploughs and 10 serfs; 12 villeins and 18 smallholders had the rest of the land with 6 ploughs. There were 40 acres of woodland and 8 square leagues of pasture. The livestock was 2 cattle,20 unbroken mares and 150 sheep.

Research Notes

I am not all certain who the father was, the likely person is the William Rickard Baptized in St Austell 27 July 1667 his father Paschoe Rickard and mother Johan, nothing definite but its a possibility as Brannel is very close to St Austell and was the registration district for Brannel. Also the Burial date is not certain, personally I think it is correct as his wife Blanch Rickard was buried in 1777 and there is no mention of her being widowed
