Helston is a historic market town near the Lizard Peninsula. Helston is the English form of the Cornish name Hellys, meaning old court.

Helston really is a very old town, dating back to the sixth century. It was the largest settlement in West Cornwall at the time of the Domesday Book and was confirmed as a town in 1201 by King John.

During the reign of Edward I, Helston became a stannary town, empowered to verify and stamp tin. Nowadays Helston is known for the Furry (or Floral) Dance which takes place each year on the eighth of May.
