| Originally posted by Des Which King Harry is it named for Colin? Given its width, maybe Henry VIII? Or perhaps Henry VI, who was out of action for much of his reign. Or Henry VII who stole the franchise he was not entitled to? Or Henry II, who had his troublesome CEO disposed of by his lackeys? " There remains some dispute over the why the crossing is called King Harry and the two most common suggestions are both related to English kings. The first and least likely is that King Henry the VIII and one of his wives visited the area to inspect the castles that he had commissioned at St Mawes and Falmouth to protect the strategically important Carrick Roads from French and Spanish privateers and invasion. The second and more likely reason is that the in the woods to the North East of the crossing point, the local Lord of the Manor had a small Chapel dedicated to King Henry IV and his wife Queen Anne. The Chapel was known as the Chapel of King Henry and over time the Cornish name of Cybellys (crossing or ferry boat) was supplanted by King Harry Passage and thus King Harry Ferry crossing. " You learn something every day :-) | |

My K-3, a dog, and a frisbee at the beach. My Penny would chase that thing until it was too dark to see, if I let her!   | |
