St Columb
St Columb Major is a community and also civil parish in Cornwall, England, UK. Commonly described locally as St Columb, it is approximately seven miles (11 km) southwest of Wadebridge as well as six miles (10 km) east of Newquay. The designation Major differentiates it from the close-by negotiation as well as parish of St Columb Minor on the coastline. An electoral ward simply called St Columb exists with a population at the 2011 census of 5,050. Twice a year the town plays host to "tossing", a medieval game as soon as usual throughout Cornwall and now just played in St Columb as well as St Ives. It is played on Shrove Tuesday and afterwards again on the Saturday eleven days later. The video game involves two teams of a number of hundred individuals (the 'townsmen' as well as the 'countrymen') that endeavour to bring a silver sphere made from apple wood to objectives set two miles (3 kilometres) apart, making the church, around 25 square miles (65 km2) in area, the de facto largest sports ground worldwide.
