2 I spent a very interesting afternoon walking around St Euny Churchyard with a local historian who was so full of stories that kept us all amused and fascinated. This has the makings of a promising project. Have a look here for more about the Churchyard and to see the most informative Mining and Medicine board where you can learn more about trepanning. Click on any photo for more detail and for the caption.

This and the next photo are gravestones to a brother and sister, both born in Cuba where the family had emigrated to so that their father could share his mining skills and who both died locally, Julianna at only 6yrs old and Josiah, just 18.

The resting place of S V Pryce, the Redruth surgeon who was an expert in trepanning.
Isn’t he wonderful?
