A Bimble, Constantine Church
 I was called this morning for a special treat.
 Martin had created a wonderful egg event at Bluefields. Wow.
  The lovely 15th century church was open.
Martin and Cecily had an appointment to keep so we took the opportunity to head the few miles to a graveyard where we knew many relatives might still have gravestones of a family tree I’m currently working on. Wiki says: Constantine (Cornish: Lann Gostentin, meaning church enclosure of St Constantine) is a village and civil parish in Cornwall, approximately five miles west-southwest of Falmouth. The parish population at the 2011 census was population 1,789. Constantine is named after Saint Constantine, a 6th-century Cornish saint possibly identified with a minor British king Constantine.
The Vicars and
Patrons list dates back to 1258.
   We had a good look
inside before we headed out to bimble.
 The oldest
gravestones were near the church................
 younger ones across the road.
   Lots to
see. I was looking for Tremayne’s and Bear was soon on the
case.
 Some, as always were hard to read.
    Lots of
Tremayne’s.
   A lovely churchyard to
explore. Bear had a fancy to take a pasty back with us. No
sooner than we got in than Cecily and Bear went through old photograph albums, I
took pictures of all of the images and Martin ran round as a very effective
barman then cooked us a delicious supper. A really good day.
 ALL IN ALL A GREAT SUCCESS
LOVELY TO BE RIGHT OUT IN THE
COUNTRY |
