Triggshire

Trigg is mentioned by name during the 7th century, as "Pagus Tricurius", "land of three war hosts".

The orchestra was set up in 1984 by conductor Janet Elston, who still conducts them today.

The historian Sir John Maclean (1811-1895) came from Trehudreth in Blisland and his "Parochial History of the Deanery of Trigg Minor" (1872-1879) in 3 volumes is the most detailed work of parochial history which deals with Cornwall (the deanery consisted of 20 parishes at the time he wrote).

Two versions of the origins of at least some of the Lean families of Devon and Cornwall have been passed through the oral tradition.

Both versions include the disinheritance and banishment of two Maclean brothers (thus sans Mac) from the west of Scotland to a farm near Bodmin, where they married two sisters and lived near Blisland.
