Educated in Trewidland, Liskeard and Plymouth, my interests include the religious, cultural and industrial history of Cornwall (in particular) and other rural areas such as N. Wiltshire. My mother was a contributor of magazine and newspaper articles about life in the Caradon area, in which her husband worked as a Planning Officer and continues to maintain an area of woodland in Liskeard, as well as being a founder member of the Liskeard Model Society. Freda's work included an essay on the Looe Canal and Railway and the Cider Press at Trehere Farm and has used an early black and white photograph of mine in writing about her experiences keeping a nanny goat.
