Visit to the County Records Office, Truro, Cornwall

Great to visit the County Records Office, Truro, Cornwall, today as part of our Heart of Conflict project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. Camborne Guides (led, as ever, by Karin Saunders and Sue Norfolk), three members of Praze Women’s Institute and two volunteers from Helston Museum visited the extraordinary archives – we were all surprised at the extent of records kept. A huge thank you to David Thomas and Chloe Phillips of the Records Office for a fascinating tour. We all came away inspired to find out more.
