Newport (Cornish: Porthnowyth) is a suburb of the town of Launceston in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Originally a separate settlement, Newport is immediately north of the town from which it is separated by the River Kensey.[1]
Until the early nineteenth century, the Newport constituency elected two Members to the Unreformed House of Commons. However, the constituency was abolished as a rotten borough by the Reform Act 1832.[2] A tucking mill was established in the 15th century by the Flemings at Newport. This was water-powered and continued in use for corn until 1968.[3] Other notable buildings in Newport included the Newport Roundhouse which was completed in 1829.[4]
