CORNWALL ONLINE PARISH CLERKS - helping bring the past alive


THE PARISH OF

NEWQUAY


There is no OPC for this parish. If you would care to volunteer, please contact our coordinator, Myra Cordrey, via Email.
 
The previous OPC, Andy Ross, has edited 2 books written by his great-grandfather, William Francis Allen Burnard, which contain many reminiscences of life in Newquay, Forrabury (Boscastle), Trevalga and surrounding parishes. Very generously, he has allowed a copies to be available as downloadable pdfs. (Files suitable for hi-speed internet connections only.)
