WHAT DOES STANNARY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

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.
