Halsetown is a village near St Ives in Cornwall.
Halsetown is an industrial village planned by the solicitor and politician James Halse and built in the 1830s. There was a tin mine nearby and also a ropeworks.[1] The ecclesiastical parish was created in 1846 and the parish church (1857) was dedicated to St John the Evangelist.[2] A mission chapel was opened on 6 November 1878 because the parish church was too far for parishioners to attend.[3]
