Borlase

Borlase is a surname and masculine given name. A branch of the family De Taillefer, of Périgord, who were descended from the Count of Angoulême, came to England before the reign of Henry III (1207–1272). A king granted lands in the parish of St Wenn in Cornwall to Frank (French) Borlas Taillefer. Following the ancient Cornish tradition, the family adopted the name of their place of residence, Borlas, as their surname. Originally Borlase was a manor, but the name now exists as three farms: Borlase-Vath, Borlase Burgess and Borlase farm near Rosenannon.

A common saying in west Cornwall was ″Borlases were in Cornwall before the birth of Christ″.
