"The villages of Tinworth in Cornwall, Upper Flagley in Yorkshire, and Ottery St Catchpole on the south coast of England were notable homes to knots of Wizarding families who lived alongside tolerant and sometimes Confunded Muggles."

— Bathilda Bagshot, A History of Magic

Tinworth was a village in Cornwall, England, near the coast.

History

It was a half-magical dwelling, with a wizarding community established in secret alongside the Muggle one soon after the signature of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy in the 17th century. According to historian Bathilda Bagshot in her book A History of Magic, Tinworth was one of a handful of villages that were "notable homes to knots of wizarding families who lived alongside tolerant and sometimes Confunded Muggles."

Bridget Wenlock lived in this village, and it is here that she devised the theorem that established the magical properties of the number seven. During her lifetime, she was a common sight throughout the town, as her paranoid and absentmindedness often led her to seek out notes she had written in invisible ink and then misplaced.

In the 1990–1991 school year, Mr Bigglesby, the missing pet Puffskein belonging to a female ghost, was located in Tinworth by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

Shell Cottage, the home of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour after their marriage in 1997, was located in the outskirts of Tinworth. It was located near the ocean and was a "beautiful place," according to Harry Potter.

Daphne Wenlock owned a wizarding inn at Number Seven, Aldwych Road, Tinworth by at least the late 2010s or early 2020s. During the Calamity, a Calamity Investigator working for the Statute of Secrecy Task Force visited Wenlock's inn and, being famished, ordered seven of everything on the menu, much to Wenlock's pleasure. As a reward, Wenlock offered them lifetime access to extravagant gifts at her inn over the investigator's protests.

Etymology

The name Tinworth may be in reference to the fact that Cornwall is historically known for its tin mines. Tinworth is also the name of a town in Safer Than Love, a "golden age" detective novel by Margery Allingham. J. K. Rowling has referred to Allingham as her favourite of the golden age detective novelists.
