About The White Hart Inn

St Teath, named after St Teatha, Patron of the celtic church, is at the centre of a spiders web of country lanes, just off the A39.
Less than 3 miles away, is the world famous Delabole slate quarry, here many of the men of the village were once employed - There and in the local Treburgett silver and lead mine. A few miles to the west is the ancient fishing village of Port Isaac, To the east rises Bodmin Moor.



The White Hart. cheek-by-jowl with the mid 14th century church, in part goes back 400 years , is ideally situated for that relaxing drink from the local golf courses, of which there are three: St Enodoc, St Kew and Bowood, all within easy reach.



Our nearest course is Bowood park, set in 230 acres of rolling hills and woodlands and was once the deer park of the Black Prince. The course has 26 lakes and ponds, Doubling as water hazards and wildlife reserves.
Historic contest fought for a silver-laced hat
The village has a special place in cornish sporting history. The first recorded cricket in Cornwall, was a single wicket championship on the third day of July 1781, in a field behind the White Hart Inn at St Teath, Gengtlemen farmers competing for a handsome silver-laced hat for the champion.
It must have been a busy day for the north cornish inn, as there was also a cattle fair in the village on that date.
We do not know the identity of those pionerring cricketers, but we do know that Prime Minister Wiiam Pitt, the Elder, who spent part of his formative years at Boconnoc, as a young man played the newly fashionable game cricket..."


Milestone
On Monday July the 3,2000 , this cricketing milestone was recalled at the White Hart when a plaque of beautiful Delabole slate was unveiled by the cricket writer Tim Heald.
Mr Heald, who lives at Fowey and is a member of the MCC, is the author of more than 20 books, including biographys of Brian Johnston, Denise Compton and Prince Philip.
This unique peice of cricketing history was unearthed by the cricket historian Ian Clark, who is researching the origins of Cornish cricket.
