Lanarth is near Helston

 

1895: “The Rev. P. Thomas, as the result of a meeting recently held in Lanarth Church Schoolroom, is endeavouring to start a Brass Band in that village. It appears that several who have already enrolled themselves as members are provided with instruments.” (29 August 1895 – Royal Cornwall Gazette)

It is not known how successful the attempt was, nor for how long it existed.
