The church of St See also:Stephen, outside the See also:town, retains its ornate Norman See also:font.

grant, the earls and subsequently the See also:dukes of Cornwall were the lords of Saltash. It was probably to this relation that the burgesses owed the See also:privilege of parliamentary See also:representation, conferred by See also:Edward VI. In 1584 See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth granted a charter of See also:incorporation to Saltash. This was superseded by another in 1683 under which the governing See also:body was to consist of a mayor and six aldermen. In 1774, the See also:corporation being in danger of extinction, burgesses were added, but it was not until 1886 that the ratepayers acquired the right of electing representatives to the See also:council, the right up to that time having been exercised by the members of the corporation. The parliamentary See also:franchise was enjoyed by the mayor, aldermen and the holders of burgage tenements. In 1814 they numbered 120. In 1832 Saltash was deprived of its two members. The count of MVlortain's Sunday market had given See also:place in 1337 to one on Saturday and this is still held. Queen Elizabeth's charter provided for one on Tuesday also, but this has disappeared. A fair on the feast of St Faith yielded 6s. 8d. in 1337. This is no longer held, but fairs at See also:Candlemas and St See also:- JAMES
