Place & story
An orchard within a rugged landscape
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 Mocollop account describes Francis Drew’s planted demesne as having an unusually extensive orchard, producing cider with a strong local reputation. This contrasted with the parish’s generally rugged terrain. The account also records former ironworks at Araglin on the parish’s edge. These are historical uses of particular parts of the landscape, rather than evidence that cider production or ironworking continued throughout the combined parish. [2]
