Tuckingmill, (Cornish: Melindrukkya), is in the Hundred and Deanery of Penwith. It is located in a suburb of Camborne, close to Pool, and was created from neighbouring central portions of Camborne and Illogan parishes in 1845. A Tucking Mill was the west-country term for a fulling mill, i.e. where the homespun cloth was dipped, cleansed and dressed. It was here that William Bickford invented and produced the well-known safety fuse for conveying fire to the charge in blasting the explosives used in mining and elsewhere.
The Camborne Gas Works used to be located within this parish. The main centre of population is Pool.
Most parish and church description(s) on these pages are from Lake's Parochial History of the County of Cornwall by J Polsue (Truro, 1867 - 1873)

Tuckingmill, Baptist |
- Anglican.
- The parish church is located in Pendarves Street, Camborne (OS Grid Square SW6540) and is dedicated to All Saints. The church was built of stone in the 'Mock Norman Style' in 1845 by the Basset family. It has the largest arch in Cornwall (outside Truro Cathedral). The church is a spacious and impressive building consisting of a nave, chancel, south aisle, north porch and a western tower containing one bell. The font bowl dates from 12th century, so was clearly brought from elsewhere. The windows above the main altar on the east side depict the birth, crucifixion and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sadly, there has been considerable damage in recent years to the north and south windows. The registers date from 1845. Details about the plans of this church (ICBS) are available on-line.
