First Look at Church

Church 1900
| More about this photo

My sister and I drove to the Safeway market, as we were renting a cottage in Looe. On our way back, we took a different route, not intentionally I must say, but we didn't mind as long as we got back to Looe. While passing through Duloe, I saw the very top of the church and decided we had to stop just looking at it from that view. My sister and I stopped and walked all the way around the church and took some pictures. When we left I kept an eye out for any signs that would lead us back there. The next day my sister, our niece, and I were going to Tintagel and detoured back to Duloe. To our surprise, the church was unlocked and welcomed us in. I took many, many pictures of the inside and have them in my photograph book to this day. Thank you so much for allowing me to relate my memory. It was so awesome there, sometimes I go to the...

Menheniot And Coldrenick House

Hi. I was born in 1950 so the above date should actually read 1950 - 1965+. My maternal grandparents lived at Coldrenick (not in the big house) but close by in one of 2 bungalows on the estate. I spent many happy times at Coldrenick and often visited the dowager Trelawney at Coldrenick House. I was so sad to see in later years that the house had been demolished. However. I am now compiling (or rather wracking my brains!) many years of memories as a PEARSE decendant at Coldrenick for a novel. There is much more I could share but for now it would be great to connect with others who perhaps were raised in the area. I also have very strong connection with Cawsand as I lived there for some years too. Perhaps someone on the site can help me 'fill in the gaps' of the Trelawneys? Or perhaps knew my grandparents, Hilda and Cecil Pearse and their children - my mother Patricia Hilda, my... Read more

My Childhood Summers in The Village

I was brought up near London but when I was about 8 my brother married and moved down to live in Menheniot as his in-laws owned a bungalow on the Trewint Estate and purchased the village hairdressers (Carol-Anne's) for my sister in law. (This was in the late sixties/seventies). My brother and sister-in-law (Brian & Carol) married in Menheniot church and I remember being a bridesmaid and loads and loads of villagers waiting outside the church when we came out. They lived in Liskeard to begin with, then bought a bungalow on the Fourgates estate when they were first built. I spent every summer with them and as the hairdressers was somewhat the centre of the village, I got to know many many of the villagers over the years. I well remember Mr & Mrs Harris who ran the Co-Op, Mrs Scannelberry who lived in the house adjoining the hairdressers, Molly Paler who owned the bangalow called Imago on the Trewint Estate next to the Bowdens, the Giddys and many...

Sylvia Pearse

I remember your grandparents and Sylvia. They used to visit Central Villas a lot. Sylvia was a friend of Florence and Walter Bennett (sister and brother). My parents Rex and Gwen Harris lived next door. I was wondering what had happened to Sylvia only recently. Seem to remember she married and had a daughter later in life. Sylvia and her daughter visited my mother at Hartmeade Estate and the little girl sang a song for her on her eightieth birthday. My parents ran the village Co-Op. Yes, it was sad that the 'big house' got pulled down. Think I saw it once. Hope this is of help, I live in New Zealand now but was in Menheniot just over two years ago, my friend Marilyn Randle lives at Bowling Green estate and I keep in touch with Rosemarie Harding at Hartmeade estate where my parents lived after they retired.
