Cornwall (pronounced /ˈkɔrnwɒl/; Cornish: Kernow [ˈkɛrnɔʊ, ˈkɛɹnɔʊ]) is the most southwesterly county in England, on the peninsula that lies to the west of the River Tamar. The administrative centre and only city is Truro. Cornwall covers an area of 1,376 square miles (3,563 km²), including the Isles of Scilly, located 28 miles (45 km) offshore. Cornwall has a population of 513,528, with a relatively low population density of 373 people per square mile (144 /km²). Cornwall is noted for its wild moorland landscapes, its extensive and varied coastline and its mild climate. Also notable is Cornwall's stone age and industrial archaeology, especially its historic mining landscape, a world heritage site. Tourism therefore forms a significant part (24%)[1] of the local economy; however, Cornwall is one of the poorest areas in the United Kingdom (62% of the UK average wage)[2] with the lowest per capita contribution to the national economy. Cornwall is the homeland of the Cornish people and is also considered one of the six "Celtic nations" by many residents and scholars.[3] Some inhabitants question the present constitutional status of Cornwall and a self-government movement seeks greater autonomy for Cornwall.[4][5]

History of bathrooms .

Although it was not with hygiene in mind, the first records for the use of baths date back as far as 3000 B.C. At this time water had a strong religious value, being seen as a purifying element for both body and soul, and so it was not uncommon for people to be required to cleanse themselves before entering a sacred area. Baths are recorded as part of a village or town life throughout this period, with a split between steam baths in Europe and America and cold baths in Asia. Communal baths were erected in a distinctly separate area to the living quarters of the village, with a view to preventing evil spirits from entering the domestic quarters of a commune.
