Polmassick’s roots delve deep into Cornish soil, its name believed to derive from 'Pol-Masek,' meaning 'Masek’s Cove' or 'Masek’s Pool,' possibly after an early Celtic saint or landowner. For centuries, life here revolved around subsistence farming and a modest pilchard fishery in the nearby cove, the remnants of ancient fish cellars still visible at low
