Roseangrouse - Name  - possibly derived from Cruce Aldrou [Cross of Aldred]

...dispute in 1150 AD concerning the Manor of Gurlyn, Tredea and Trevessa.
But there is much more to be said on this subject, starting about the time of Bishop Bartholomew of Exeter (1159-1184). Now, read on…
The western boundary of St Erth parish was once a matter of dispute between the parishes of St Erth and Lelant, and the matter was referred to the Pope.
During this time the Papacy itself was in dispute, so it is impossible to determine which Pope was consulted, but the matter was passed to the Deanand Chancellor of Wells Cathedral. The Dean made an enquiry of the faithful of the parishes as to where the boundary should be. An award was made and this award specified the disputed boundary: ‘de Gunhen sitis subtus magnam viam que tendit de Cruce Aldrou directe usque ad mare in australi parte versus Trelewid (Treloweth).’  
A rough translation is: ‘the boundary ‘from Gunhen [Cornish for the ‘Old Moor’] situated underneath the great road which runs from from the Cross of Aldred straight all the way to the sea in the southern part in the direction of Treloweth.’
The ‘great road,’ (magnam viam) is the present A30 road, as it runs west of St Erth station.
