Lesnewth Hundred is one of the ten hundreds of Cornwall, in the north-east of the county with Triggshire to the south-west and Stratton Hundred to the north-east.
Tintagel, Camelford, Boscastle, and Altarnun were in the Hundred of Lesnewth as well as Lesnewth itself, which is now only a hamlet but which Maclean reckoned to have been the seat of a Cymric chieftain who ruled the whole of Trigg.[1]
The historic parishes of Lesnewth Hundred are: Advent, Altarnun, St Clether, Davidstow, Forrabury, St Gennys, St Juliot, Lanteglos-by-Camelford, Lesnewth, Michaelstow, Minster, Otterham, Poundstock, Tintagel [with Bossiney], Treneglos, Trevalga, Warbstow.
