About This Book

A wide-ranging survey of Cornwall that combines local history, topography, folklore, and antiquarian observation. It examines early Christian saints and holy wells, medieval crosses and castles, and prehistoric monuments, while detailing tin mining, maritime life, smuggling, and coastal features. The work also sketches towns and villages, records legends and archaeological remains, and outlines customs and industries that shaped rural communities. Arranged chapter by chapter, it offers descriptive reportage and learned commentary to convey the region's landscape, material culture, and traditional beliefs.
