MARAZION , a small seaport in the St Ives See also:parliamentary See also:division of See also:Cornwall, See also:England, on the See also:shore of See also:Mount's See also:Bay, 2 M. E. of See also:Penzance, served by the See also:Great Western railway. Pop. (1901), 1251. A See also:causeway of boulders and pebbles, thrown up by the See also:sea and passable at See also:low See also:tide, unites Marazion with the insular St See also:Michael's Mount (q.v.). The See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church of St Hilary, destroyed by See also:fire in 1853, had a very See also:fine See also:spire, which has been
faithfully reproduced in the restored See also:building. Unusual archaeo- Statuary and Economic See also:Marbles.—Among statuary marbles the logical See also:interest attaches to the See also:churchyard. Its inscribed stones
date from the 4th See also:century, one being in See also:honour of See also:Constantine the Great. Another has Cornish lettering, which can no longer be deciphered; and there are See also:British and See also:Roman crosses. See also:Market gardening and fishing are the See also:main See also:industries.
The See also:charter attributed to See also:Robert See also:count of See also:Mortain, granting lands and liberties to St Michael's, Mount, opposite Marazion, included a market on Thursdays. This appears to have been held from the first on the mainland. From it is probably derived the Marghasbigan (Parvum See also:Forum) of the earlier and the Marghasyewe or Marketjew (Forum Jovis) of the later charters. It may be added that a Jewish origin has been ascribed to the See also:place from the name Marketjew. It is certain that See also:Richard See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king of the See also:Romans provided that the three fairs, on the two feasts of St Michael and at See also:Mid-See also:- LENT (0. Eng. lenclen, " spring," M. Eng. lenten, lente, lent; cf. Dut. lente, Ger. Lenz, " spring," 0. H. Ger. lenzin, lengizin, lenzo, probably from the same root as " long " and referring to " the lengthening days ")
Lent, and the three markets which had hitherto been held by the priors of St Michael's Mount on See also:land not their own at Marghasbighan, should in future be held on their own land at Marchadyou. He transferred in fact the fairs and markets from the See also:demesne lands of the Bloyous in Marazion to those of the See also:prior. To remedy the loss incurred by this measure See also:Ralph Bloyou in 1331 procured for himself and his heirs a market on Mondays and a See also:fair on the See also:vigil, feast and morrow of St See also:Andrew at Marghasyon. In See also:Leland's See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time the market was held at Marhasdeythyow (Forum Jovis), and both See also:Norden (1582) and See also:Carew (1602) tell us that Marcajewe signifies the See also:Thursday's market, which, whether etymologically See also:sound or not, shows that the prior's market had prevailed over its See also:rival. In 1595 See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth granted to Marazion a charter of in-See also:corporation. This ratified the See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

grant of St Andrew's fair, provided for another on the Feast of St See also:Barnabas and established a market on Saturdays. The corporation was to consist of a See also:mayor, 8 aldermen and 12 See also:capital burgesses. This corporation continued to administer the affairs of the See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf. Ger. Burg, Fr. bor, bore, bourg)

borough until it was dissolved under the Municipal Corporations See also:Act in 1835, when the See also:property belonging to it was vested in charity commissioners. The chairman of the commissioners retains See also:possession of the See also:regalia. Of the fairs only the Michaelmas fair has survived and all the markets have gone. It is frequently stated that Marazion had formerly the right of returning two members to See also:parliament, but that owing to its inability to pay the members' expenses the right was lost. Under the See also:Common-See also:wealth an See also:attempt was made to secure or recover the right, and two members are said to have been returned, but they were not allowed to take their seats. Remains of an See also:ancient See also:bronze See also:furnace, discovered near the See also:town, tend to prove that See also:tin-smelting was practised here at an See also:early See also:period. Marazion was once a flourishing town, and owed its prosperity to the throng of pilgrims who came to visit St Michael's Mount. During the first See also:half of the 16th century it was twice plundered; first by the See also:French, and later by the Cornish rebels. The rise and progress of the neighbouring borough of Penzance in the 17th century was the undoing of Marazion.
