Dist:1.1km west<br/>This house has both solar water heating panels and photovoltaic cells to gain free energy from the suns rays. The high sunshine levels and clear air quality in Cornwall have given rise to many people installing PV cell arrays to take advantage of the Government's Feed In Tariff scheme whereby they will receive payment for producing electricity in this manner. However, the payment s are due to be reduced drastically for any systems installed after 1 December 2011 so it remains to be seen whether the current installation rate will continue. It's unfortunate that the installations are such an eyesore and are not subject to planning approval except on listed buildings or in conservation areas.

Dist:1.1km west<br/>The name of the pub and the village derives from the Duke of Leeds's ownership of the nearby Godolphin Estate, which passed from the Earl of Godolphin to him in 1766. The Duke's family name of Townsend is the name of a neighbouring village.
