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?!

The article only gives the value. When someone is stealing and disposing of gold, it is interesting to know the weight of the metal. Measuringworth.com says that in 1839 one "fine ounce of gold" had a value in London of £4.25. The stolen gold thus weighed about 1082 fine ounces. A fine ounce is defined as "a troy ounce of 99.5% (".995") pure gold." The article does not state the fineness of the gold. The "international troy ounce is equal to about 31.103 476 grams" or .0311 kilogram, so the stolen gold would have weighed about 33.65 kilogram. One person could have lifted it.
