This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Untitled

I don't see anything in this article that isn't in Stannary Courts and Parliaments. Either it should be merged here or Stannary should be redirected to it. --Diderot 15:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The intent is to describe the geographic location and coinage (i.e. taxation & marketing) towns of the individual stanneries in more detail, together with some information about how this picture changed over time. Stannary Courts and Parliaments is about their governing institutions, some of which were shared between stannaries, so a detailed enumeration of the individual stanneries would probably be inappropriate there. I've also retained the adjective definition from the previous disambiguation page because I am reluctant to delete information. FWIW, my personal preference would be to have 'courts' and 'parliaments' in separate articles. --AndyCarlson 21 December 2005

Perhaps this should be merged with Dartmoor tin-mining instead. There is a lot of stannary technology (e.g. blowing house) that has little to do with the legalities --Ziusudra 20:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Halifax

I've seen mentions of a district called Stannary near Halifax, Yorkshire (example). Same etymology? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:47, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
