St.Endellion A memory of St Endellion, Cornwall I lived for many years at St. Endellion, and have many memories of the church, I was told that my father, Donald Strout, as a boy used to take water for the church boiler to the boiler house. He was born in the 1920s. As a child I can remember being in the Sunday School plays at Christmas. I also remember the wonderful garden fetes in the rectory garden when we kids all used to wear fancy dress. I have a wonderful painting of the church which my parents gave me for my 40th birthday.

St Endellion Church A memory of St Endellion, Cornwall In this old and wonderful church I was baptised, went to Sunday school and was confirmed, and every time I enter it I am in awe and feel my ancesters all around me. Being born and brought up in Trelights, my mother was a Brown and the Browns were the village carpenters with a workshop in the heart of the village, it's still there but now converted into a cottage but still roughly the same shape. My great-grandfather, his son (my grandfather) and his boys (my uncles) were all involved with St Endellion church, putting in new pews, but using the old carved pew ends, was one of the bigger jobs they did. One of my uncles carved some of the bosses on the ends of the roof beams. I'm now retired but have been asked to do several repair jobs for the church since leaving full time work, when working in the empty church one feels that God is all around you and watching to make sure you do it right. My father was from St Issey St Merryn Cowling family, his father (my grandfather) was killed in the First World War. Grandfather when young signed up for twelve years in the Royal Navy and after leaving became a coast guard and a RN reserve, and on the outbreak of the First World War was called up again. He lost his life in 1915 when my dad was 5 years old. My grandmother then bought the house in Trelights called Rose Cottage. She brought up the family of 3 boys and 4 girls in this cottage alone. My dad was the youngest of the children so had lots of care from his older sisters, when he was thirty he married mum at St Endellion and I was born 10 years later in 1940. Now I'm 68 I have booked and paid for my final resting place in the church yard with all my ancesters at St Endellion Last edited: 28/10/2008 13:08 by Jan Cowling |

 Port Isaac, Church Hill c1955 (ref: P89050) |
Year: 1955
out with my ganny A memory of Port Isaac, Cornwall 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 on the left, and we used to sit on the step for a break before climbing up the very steep hill to the hotel at the top of the hill then called "HOMER PARK HOTEL, and we used to ride the horses that belonged to the hotel.

 Port Isaac, the Harbour 1920 (ref: 69685) |
Year: 1990
Visiting in the 90's A memory of Port Isaac, Cornwall 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. Posted: 07/03/2007 12:00 by Margaret O'mahony |

Time for the beach (Miss Patricia May) A memory of Port Isaac, Cornwall This is one of my biggest memories of growing up in Port Isaac: On summer days my mum Joyce May would take me and my sister Elizebath to Port Gavern beach for the day. My mum would make a packed lunch for us to eat on the beach, and a flask of tea for mum to drink and orange juice for my sister and me, and lots of fruit to eat. Lots of our schoolmates would go to the beach to play on the rocks and just have fun. My mum would take us home at 4.30pm because she had to cook tea ready for my dad when he came home at 5.45pm.
