Hullo trevor My POLGLASE family latterally came from Kirton Wood (now called Kerthenwood) which was a little hamlet immediately north of Townshend. You could walk through from the Townshend/Camborne Road to Kerthenwood. It is now a farm and the only remaining part of the original hamlet is one of the walls in the barn - so I was told! This may be your Herton wood. According to the OS map there is a Buscaverran still there, just south of Crowan. Can't twig the others at the moment.
