Marazanvose is a little hamlet in St Allen parish, some three-and-a-half miles to the north-west of Truro, as the crow flies. For a long time, the main A30 road passed through the hamlet, but a new road was recently built, leaving the few houses there in peace. The old road is renamed now as the B3288.

The name Marazanvose suggests there was a walled market there in the past, but there is no trace of it to be found in the present day.

Not far from the houses is a large engine house, part of West Chiverton mine, where a lot of lead, zinc and silver was extracted. Around 1,000 people used to be employed in the mine. The engine house is unusual, in that the chimney is built into the middle of the back wall.
