Liskeard (/lɪsˈkɑːrd/  lis-KARD; Cornish: Lyskerrys^[1]) is an ancient stannary and market town and civil parish in south east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom.^[2]

Liskeard is situated approximately 20 miles (32 km) west of Plymouth, 14 miles (23 km) west of the River Tamar and the border with Devon, and 12 miles (20 km) east of Bodmin. The town is at the head of the Looe valley in the ancient hundred of West Wivelshire and has a population of 9,417.^[3] Liskeard was the base of the former Caradon District Council and it still has a town council. There are 3 wards in Liskeard (including Dobwalls). The total population at the 2011 census was 11,366^[4][5][6]

The town boasts St. Martin's, the second largest parish church in Cornwall ^[15] Built on the site of the former Norman church, the oldest parts of the current structure date back to the 15th century. Other places of worship include a Roman Catholic church and Methodist chapels.^[16]

The Foresters Hall now houses the Tourist Information Office and Liskeard & District Museum. The Foresters still meet in the town at the Public Rooms in West Street.^[17] Stuart House (on the Parade) was used by Charles I as a lodging in 1644, when his forces were chasing the Parliamentarians.^[18] Restored, it is now used as a community building for arts, heritage and community events Luxstowe House (1831). Designed by George Wightwick for William Glencross. The Guildhall was built in 1859 and has a prominent clock tower. The Public Hall was constructed in 1890. Webb's House (formerly Webb's Hotel) is a classic early Victorian market-town hotel featuring in royal visits, parliamentary declarations and much more but recently converted into flats and is the home of the local newspaper The Cornish Times. Pencubitt House was built in 1897 for J. H. Blamey, a wealthy wool merchant. The house was designed by local architect John Sansom, responsible for many Liskeard homes of that period.^[19] The Liskeard Union Workhouse, architect John Foulston of Plymouth (later the Lamellion Hospital, now flats).
