Tuckingmill, Camborne, Cornwall

Tuckingmill (Cornish: Talgarrek, meaning hill-brow of a rock) is a village in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.

The parish of Tuckingmill was constituted in 1845 being carved out of a western section of the parish of Illogan and an easterly section of Camborne parish and it covers 1,300 acres (5.3 km2). Tucking Mill (Cornish: Melyn Droghya, from the verb troghya) was the Cornish term for a fulling mill which was where homespun cloth was dipped, cleansed and dressed. There is a mention of a fulling mill in this region as early as 1250. During the nineteenth century Tuckingmill was at the heart of Cornish industry.

The parish church of All Saints was built in 1843-44 in the Norman Revival style. The architect was J. Hayward of Exeter. The north aisle has a heavy granite arcade. The Norman font came from the chapel at Menadarva.
