English Definitions:
stannary (Adjective)
of, or pertaining to tin mining, especially in Cornwall
Stannary
The word stannary is historically applied to: ⁕A tin mine, especially in Cornwall or Devon, South West England ⁕A region containing tin works ⁕A chartered entity comprising such a region, its works, and its workers ⁕The town constituting the administrative centre of such a region ⁕Any of the courts or parliaments established to maintain the rights of such a charter. The principal role of a stannary town was the collection of tin coinage, the proceeds of which were passed to the Duchy of Cornwall or the Crown. With the abolition of tin coinage in 1838, the principal purpose for coinage town status ceased. However coinage towns still retained certain historic rights to appoint stannators to Cornwall's Stannary Parliament.
Stannary
A stannary was an administrative division established under stannary law in the English counties of Cornwall and Devon to manage the collection of tin coinage, which was the duty payable on the metal tin smelted from the ore cassiterite mined in the region. In Cornwall, the duty was passed to the Duchy of Cornwall; in Devon to the Crown. With the abolition of tin coinage in 1838 (following extensive petitioning by the Cornish tin industry for simplification of the taxation rules), the principal purpose of the stannaries ceased. In Cornwall, however, they retained certain historic rights to appoint stannators to the Cornish Stannary Parliament.
