parish. Other settlements in the parish include Balwest, Boscreege and Tresowes Green.
The parish is named after Saint Germocus, one of the companions of Saint Breage. According to legend Germoc was a king in Ireland whose feast day is 6 May.
Historically, the largest landowners in the parish were the Godolphin family (the Dukes of Leeds).
Germoe parish is bounded to the north, east and south by Breage parish and to the west by St Hilary parish. The population was 508 in the 2001 census. This had increased to 549 at the 2011 census. The parish is now rural in character but was once associated with the Cornish mining industry; to the north it borders the geological formation known as the Tregonning-Godolphin Granite (one of five granite batholiths in Cornwall) and the area was formerly an important source of tin and copper ore (see Geology of Cornwall). Tregonning Hill is the site of the Germoe first and second war memorial.
