More about this scene
This old mining village lies just off the main road between St Agnes and Perranporth. At the junction in the centre of the village stands the Miner's Arms, a fine old building just behind the car (centre left).

Hello everybody
I want to know what is the origin of the name "Mithian". I did hear that the significance is: Saint Matthias in Italian, but I am not sure, because I can't find any information. Do you know what is the origin of the name Mithian? It is very important for me. If anyone knows, my mail is: xoloxixi@yahoo.com
Thank you.
In the 1840's Magors and Menadues migrated from Mithian to South Australia, and I am the product of the marriages between the families. If anyone would like to correspond with me on this page I have more details and would love to learn new ones. I live in Adelaide South Australia and am visiting Mithian in May 2007 to learn what I can. Thankyou Ruth Gates nee MAGOR My father's mother was a MENADUE
