The Story of an Ancient Parish: Breage with Germoe: With Some Account of Its Armigers, Worthies and Unworthies, Smugglers and Wreckers, Its Traditions and Superstitions

Description

Step back in time with H. R. Coulthard's The Story of an Ancient Parish: Breage with Germoe, a rich historical tapestry of a Cornish community. This is not just a local history; it is a vivid chronicle of the people who shaped the parish — from the respected armigers and worthies to the notorious smugglers and wreckers who haunted its shores. Coulthard captures the true character of Breage through the stories of those who lived there, weaving together the grand and the gritty.\n\nBeyond the notable figures, the book preserves the traditions and superstitions that once defined Cornish life. You will encounter tales of ancient superstitions, local lore, and the rugged spirit of the coastline. The account of the parish's worthies and unworthies provides a complete picture of a community in transition. Whether you are a genealogy researcher, a local historian, or simply a lover of regional history, this work is an essential addition to your collection. The EPUB format makes it portable and easy to read on any device, preserving Coulthard's detailed research for modern readers.
