Step into Cornwall as it once was: moorland, market towns, and parish towers marking every mile. Cornwall speaks in parish names. In Volume I of The parochial history of Cornwall, Davies Gilbert brings together the long-hoarded Hals and Tonkin manuscripts, shaping them into a vivid parish histories collection that reads like a map made of memory and record. Part antiquarian county history, part local history reference, this foundational entry in British county histories surveys cornish church parishes with an editor's eye for place, patronage, and change. You will find Cornwall antiquities and monuments set beside manorial and family records, notices of estates, and the names that anchor communities across historic Cornwall, England. For genealogy research Cornwall and for historical geography scholars, the detail is gold: boundaries, seats, and traditions that illuminate 18th century Cornwall without romantic haze. Compiled from sources that might otherwise have remained scattered, Gilbert's work preserves a crucial strand of Cornish scholarship and the wider story of county, church, and land in Britain. It stands at the meeting point of antiquary and archivist, where parish lore is weighed, names are fixed, and Cornwall's historical geography gains lasting, citable shape today too. Dip in for a single parish, follow a family line through the centuries, or keep it close as a serious desk companion. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
