In Cornwall, the churchtown (Cornish: Treneglos) is the settlement in a parish where the church stands, for example,

The Cornish for "churchtown" is Treneglos, although only one settlement kept the Cornish name, the rest converting to the English, or not being a settlement before English overtook Cornish and became the main language of that part of Cornwall. The churchtown will not necessarily be the main settlement in the parish.
