pocket"
- Cornish World, Jan 2010
Cornwall
(or Kernow, as it's often referred to around
these parts) has it all...drama, serenity and
exhilaration. One of the wonders of
Cornwall is that, due to its timelessness, its
isolation and its geography, much of its past is
still apparent. There are many Neolithic
chamber tombs, Bronze Age standing stones and
stone circles to be Discovered. But,
Cornwall Doesn't only offer visitors a strong
sense of history and Celtic culture - you can
also immerse yourself in some of the most
spectacular landscapes in the country.

know...
In
St Minver the St Menefreda's Parish Church owns
three "Vinegar Bibles" printed in 1717, which,
instead of having "The Parable of the Vineyard"
in Chapter 20 of St Luke's Gospel has instead "
The Parable of the Vinegar". As the
printer's name was John Baskett and there were
many other misprints in this edition it has been
called 'a Baskett full of errors'. |
