About This Book

A compact regional study that surveys Cornwall’s landscape, antiquities, and customs through historical sketches, topographical description, and local folklore. It considers early Celtic saints and their cult sites, holy wells and stone crosses, medieval castles and mining remains, and the character of towns and coastal communities. Chapters describe industries and social practices including smuggling, and notable headlands and island groups, often accompanied by photographs and paintings. The work blends antiquarian detail with accessible narrative to convey the county’s material and cultural heritage.
