Callestick (/kəˈlɛstɪk/ kə-LESS-tik[1] Cornish: Kellestek) is a hamlet in Cornwall, England, UK. It is 5 miles (8.0 km) north-west from Truro and about 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Perranzabuloe. Little Callestick lies to the northeast, near Chyverton House.[2] The name Callestick comes from the Cornish language roots kell "cell" and Estek, a personal name.[3]
The manor of Callestick was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was held by Robert, Count of Mortain from Bodmin Monastery; before 1066 it had been held by a thane from the monastery. There was 1 hide of land and land for 4 ploughs. There were 12 serfs, 10 acres of woodland, 2 cattle and 30 sheep. The value of the manor was 3 shillings though it had formerly been worth £1 sterling.[4]
