Every Cornish parish holds centuries of memory; in this monumental third volume, Davies Gilbert gathers them parish by parish, name by name. Every parish has a story. Founded on the manuscript histories of Mr Hals and Mr Tonkin, The Parochial History of Cornwall, Volume III, deepens our understanding of Cornwall local history through careful notices of families, manors, churches, customs and landscapes. Moving through Cornwall England parishes with an antiquarian's eye, Gilbert preserves cornish parish genealogies, cornwall church antiquities and cornish local topography in a form that remains an essential parish history reference for readers today. As a leading figure in early 19th century Cornwall, Gilbert writes from within the world he describes, capturing a county in transition while building on the pioneering work of William Borlase Cornwall antiquities and other classic studies. For anyone undertaking cornwall genealogy research, tracing local lines of descent, or seeking a reliable local historians reference, this antiquarian county history offers primary details rarely found elsewhere. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. An indispensable addition to any serious british county histories collection, yet accessible enough for the curious general reader drawn to the people, places and past of Cornwall.
