Bal maiden
This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I'm considering taking this to FAC in time for St Piran's Day, and want outsiders' views as to whether it's ready. To pre-empt two issues: first, I'm aware that it relies quite heavily on a single source, but Mayers's book is so comprehensive it's unlikely anyone will write another significant work for the foreseeable future; second, it's very footnote heavy - this is intentional, as there are a lot of facts that will already be known by readers familiar with the history of Cornwall and/or mining (presumably the majority of potential readers) and thus shouldn't be explained in detail in the main text, but which need to be explained for the benefit of other readers who don't know the background.
