Images of Cornwall 10 – Zennor Quoit

16/08/2018 in Ancient monuments, Cornwall

By Alan S.

Our latest video from a tour of Cornish antiquities shows Zennor Quoit, famously saved from demolition in 1861, by William Borlase (a great grandson of Dr. William Borlase and vicar at Zennor). A local farmer proposed to convert the monument into a cattle–shed, but the Reverend intervened and successfully offered a financial incentive of five shillings to the farmer to build it elsewhere. The farmer had already built stone posts on the site ready to erect it, and these can still be seen today.

gorgeous little video, and I love the music (was thrilled to see it was called ‘Uluru’, because I’m Australian and have actually been around Uluru in central Australia) !!! I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
