Day 2, 13/12/06, Home Page


Our first full day in Cornwall. Our first stop was St. Buryan where Gai's ancestors came from on her Mothers side. The day was cold and very windy. The church, as we see it to-day, is for the most part of the fifteenth century, but portions of it are probably later even than that, and should perhaps be dated in the second half of the sixteenth.
