bizarre discovery made inside the chapel... let's explore the
history and folklore of Cornwall’s most iconic landmark.

Both William Bottrell and Robert Hunt collected Cornish folklore
and made accessible overviews in the 1800s. Without these two
folklorists' work, many classic Cornish stories would be lost.

Traditions and Hearthside Stories of West Cornwall (Bottrell,
1870) and Popular Romances of the West of England (Hunt, 1865)
are highly recommended.
