This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...in Morvah (a small but perfect specimen), Pawton (St. Breock), Zennor, Bosporthennis (also in Zennor)1 and in many other places. Several have been destroyed. The Cornish dolmens are in comparison with those of Ireland and the Continent small. The cap-stones of those at Zennor and Lanyon are eighteen feet long2 of that at Chun twelve feet, Mulfra (fallen) eleven feet. In Ireland are some large specimens, in France are examples of cap-stones, twenty-four, thirty-four and seventy feet in length. Some French ones are large enough to have been converted into chapels (e.g. at St. Germain-sur-Vienne).

The Councils (on discipline) of Aries (452), of Tours (567) and of Nantes (660), ordered the destruction of dolmens and menhirs because the Celtic Christians worshipped them, but whether out of reverence for the dead, or because their origin had been forgotten, is not clear. CISTS. A cist, or cistvaen (cista-maen, stone chest) is but a smaller dolmen and was probably as a rule covered with a mound. Specimens of cistvaens occur at Crousa Downs, St. Keverne ('The three brothers of Grugith, ' one side stone being a natural rock in situ) at Chapel Car n Brea and elsewhere. Canon...

A compendium of fascinating information about Cornwall past and present, this book contains a plethora of entertaining facts about the county’s famous and occasionally infamous men and women, its towns and countryside, history, natural history, literary, artistic and sporting achievements, agriculture, transport, industry and royal visits.A reference book and a quirky guide, this can be dipped in to time and time again to reveal something new about the people, the heritage, the secrets and the enduring fascination of the county. A remarkably engaging little book, this is essential reading for visitors and locals alike.Did You Know?In British law no officer or agent of the Crown, which includes both Westminster and the Anglican Church, can legally set foot upon Cornish soil without the express and joint permissions of the Duke of Cornwall and Cornwall’s Stannary Parliament.Dolly Pentreath (c. 1680–1777), is popularly regarded as the last true speaker of the Cornish language and her last words were reputedly ‘Me ne vidn cewsel Sawznek!’ (‘I don’t want to speak English!’).Penzance boasts the county’s only officially designated promenade, which extends for just over a mile from the town harbour to Newlyn.Founded in 1860 Warrens Bakery, a family-owned chain based in St Just in Penwith, supplies pasties to Fortnum & Mason.Cornwall’s flag is that of St Piran and shows a white cross which represents molten tin oozing out of a black rock which Piran used when building his fireplace.
