Laneast is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It is situated above the River Inny valley approximately six miles (11km) west of Launceston [1].
The parish church OS grid ref SX227840 is now dedicated to St Michael. Considerable restoration took place in 1848. The population in the 2001 census was 164[2].
Laneast is the birthplace of John Couch Adams, the mathematician and astronomer who discovered Neptune. In a field opposite the church is the holy 'Jordan Well' used for divination, and until comparatively recently, for baptism.
