TV reporter Clive Gunnell is in Mousehole pronounced Mauzel. The fishing village was once an important trading port of Mount's Bay and has a fishing and tin mining heritage. Tom Bawcock's Eve is celebrated on 23 December by serving starrey gazey pie where heads and tails of pilchards pop through a pie crust. Legend says that Tom went out to fish in a storm after the village was beset by famine. Only the Keigwin Arms Pub survived when the village was burnt in 1595 in a Spanish raid.
