Helston (Cornish:Hellys) is a town and civil parish in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated at the northern end of the Lizard Peninsula approximately 12 miles (19km) east of Penzance and 9 miles (14km) south-west of Falmouth. Helston is the most southerly town on the island of Great Britain and is around 1.5 miles (2.4km) farther south than Penzance. The population in 2011 was 11,700.
The former Stannary and cattlemarket town is best known for the annual Furry Dance (known locally as the Flora Dance), said to originate from the medieval period. However, the Hal-an-Tow is reputed to be of Celtic origin; but not the song that was much later. In 2001, the town celebrated the 800th anniversary of the granting of its Charter.
History
The name comes from the Cornish 'hen lis' or 'old court' and 'ton' added later to denote a Saxon manor; the Domesday Book refers to Henliston (which survives as the name of a road in the town). Only one edition refers to 'Henlistona'. It was granted its charter by King John on 15 April 1201, for the price of forty marks of silver. It was here that tin ingots were weighed to determine the duty due to the Duke of Cornwall when a number of stannary towns were authorised by royal decree. A document of 1396 examined by Charles Henderson shows that the old form "Hellys" was still in use The manor of Helston in Kerrier was one of the seventeen Antiqua maneria of the Duchy of Cornwall. The seal of the borough of Helston was St Michael his wings expanded and standing on a gateway. The two towers domed upon the up-turned dragon, impaling it with his spear and bearing upon his left arm an escutcheon of the arms of England, viz Gu three lions passant guardant in pale Or, with the legend "Sigillum comunitatis helleston burg".

Fairness and Equality: Drawing Election Districts in Australia
ERRN Seminar: 18 February 2016
The Liberal Party strongly criticised a recent Federal electoral redistribution in New South Wales, which notionally put at risk at least three Coalition seats. A columnist in Adelaide’s Sunday Mail has declared the Electoral Commission’s work a disgrace, because the boundaries it established have failed to reflect the popular will in three of the past four State elections. Electoral boundaries matter politically.
In her recently published book, Fairness & Equality: Drawing Election Districts in Australia, Jenni Newton-Farrelly points out that redistributions are inevitably political, and that any set of boundaries will have political effects. She acknowledges that Australian redistribution authorities are impartial and transparent in carrying out their tas...

Penryn is a civil parish and town in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is situated on the Penryn River about 1 mile north-west of Falmouth. Though now the town is overshadowed by the larger nearby town of Falmouth, Penryn was once an important harbour in its own right, exporting granite and tin to the rest of the country (and indeed the world) throughout the medieval period.
Penryn is one of Cornwall's most ancient towns and boasts a wealth of history. The ancient town first appears in the Domesday Book under the name of "Trelivel", and was since founded and named Penryn in 1216 by the Bishop of Exeter. The borough was enfranchised and its Charter of Incorporation was made in 1236. The contents of this Charter were embodied in a confirmation by Bishop...

In her recently published book, Fairness & Equality: Drawing Election Districts in Australia, Jenni Newton-Farrelly points out that redistributions are inevitably political, and that any set of boundaries will have political effects. She acknowledges that Australian redistribution authorities are impartial and transparent in carrying out their task, but is critical of their refusal to consider the political ramifications of their maps. Ms Newton-Farrelly discusses the experiences of South Australia and New Jersey, and argues that redistribution authorities should take party-political effects into account in devising boundaries that are equal, fair and responsive to changes in voters’ opinions.
In this seminar, the ABC’s election analyst Antony Green, who has analysed dozens of electoral redistributions, will formally launch Jenni's book and discuss the issues raised in it, and Victoria’s Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately will speak from the perspective of the redistribution authorities.

Penryn is one of Cornwall's most ancient towns and boasts a wealth of history. The ancient town first appears in the Domesday Book under the name of "Trelivel", and was since founded and named Penryn in 1216 by the Bishop of Exeter. The borough was enfranchised and its Charter of Incorporation was made in 1236. The contents of this Charter were embodied in a confirmation by Bishop Walter Bronescombe in the year 1259. In 1265, a religious college, called Glasney College, was built in Penryn for the Bishop of Exeter to develop the church's influence in the far west of the diocese. In 1374, the chapel of St Thomas (sometimes called St Mary's) was opened. Standing at the head of the Penryn River, Penryn occupies a sheltered position and was a port of some significance in the 15th century.
From 1554, Penryn held a parliamentary constituency, which became Penryn and Falmouth in 1832. The constituency was abolished in 1950, with Penryn becoming part of the Falmouth and Camborne constituency. It received a royal charter as a borough in 1621, mainly in a bid by the crown to cure the town of piracy. At least three mayors of Penryn were convicted of piracy between 1550 and 1650. The arms of the borough of Penryn were Sa. a Saracen's head Or in a bordure of eight bezants.
The A39 road, which begins in Bath and is about 200 miles (320 km) long, once passed through Penryn towards the end of its route in nearby Falmouth, but in 1994 was diverted around the town when the Penryn Bypass was opened, incorporating a stretch of new road along with upgrading to an existing road. The town is the setting of the play The Penryn Tragedy, which tells of a young man unwittingly murdered by his parents after disguising himself as a rich stranger.
Today, Penryn is a quiet town and has retained a large amount of its heritage. With a large proportion of its buildings dating back to Tudor, Jacobean and Georgian times, the town has been designated as an important conservation area. The local museum is housed in the Town Hall. Penryn has a small but active Rotary Club. Penryn is twinned with Audierne in Brittany, France.
Penryn railway station was opened by the Cornwall Railway on 24 August 1863. It is towards the north west end of the town and is served by regular trains from Truro to Falmouth on the Maritime Line. In 2004, the Penryn Campus was completed, creating the hub of the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) project.
