thumb|St Anne's Church, Whitstone Whitstone is a village and civil parish in east Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is roughly halfway between the towns of Bude and Launceston. The population at the 2011 census was 590.
==History== The earliest mention of the village is in the Domesday Book of 1086, when Whitstone was called 'Witestan', and was held by Ralph from the Count of Mortain. There was 1 furlong of land and half a plough, 1 serf, 12 acres of woodland, 8 cattle, 8 pigs, 40 sheep and 40 goats. The value of the manor was 15 shillings though it had formerly been worth £1 sterling.
