I have been researching my family tree and it seems that my great-great-grandfather was born in St Breward, Camelford. His name was William J Burnard. His mother was called Ann and his father's name was James. He also had a brother called Thomas. My hope is that someone will be able to tell me more and whether there are any relatives... [more]

In January 1917, my grandfather, Percy Smith, a young soldier from Australia, was on leave from the Front in France. He visited a family in Camelford, and this is the letter he wrote home to his sister. I would love to know more about the family and the area he visited.

Having stayed with relatives at Port Quinn on Wednesday 12 September, we drove to Tintagel staying overnight in an hotel, just out of the town. We spent a wonderful Thursday in Tintagel and enjoyed a terrific time viewing this amazing building. So impressed were we that we have vowed to visit it again and again, for the atmosphere of...

My grandmother and all her children except my mother were evacuated to this area during and for some time after WWII. I have a picture taken outside what I believe to be the post office. I think perhaps it was on this street c1950.

So I am the first person to write their memories of Trelill... not really a wonder because I dont suppose all that many people have heard of the village. It isnt the center of the world is it, but to me it is one of the most beautiful places in England as it is so quiet and peaceful. I have a... [more]

This hill holds many memories for me, I have walked up and down this hill many times since I was a child. I was born in the village of Port Isaac and as a child I would run, walk and skip up and down Church Hill. I have a picture of my granny holding me in her arms outside the house... [more]

I loved Port Isaac from the first time of seeing, which would have been early 1990's. Since then I have been several times when visiting Cornwall - not so easy when living as I do in Australia.

Extracts From Camelford & Cornwall books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Camelford, inspired by Frith photos.
Just outside Camelford, which we can see in the background, Outground Mill took the water for its overshot wheel from a side stream. The corn miller at the time was John Harris. The small mill, the miller's house and the allotment behind make a nice group.

The second highest part of Bodmin Moor is Rough Tor, at 1,311 feet. The Tor has two granite outcrops which nature has evolved to form stacks of impressive bun-like stones; otherwise the moor is bleak and treeless. This outcrop is inside a stone fort, where the remains of hut circles belonging to the late Bronze/early Iron Age have been found.
