St. Columb Major is a town in Cornwall. St. Columb Major is larger and farther from the coast than St. Columb Minor, which is more of a coastal village. Both of the St. Columbs are named after a woman saint. St. Columb Major was said to have been built near a healing spring, and during the 1857s, a historic building known as the Bank House was built in the town.
“No one knows what the sea is like, till they have been to Cornwall. And St. Colomb—I wish you could see St. Colomb! Why, the whole place is smaller than Baker Street.” (Chapter XII). It is unclear here whether Frank is referring to St. Columb Major or Minor, but he nontheless wishes to show the Lorimer sisters.
