Download or read book Antony Payne written by J. E. Pain and published by . This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A real giant? Yes, and a famous one at that. Antony Payne was born in Stratton, Cornwall in 1610 and was put into service with the Grenville family at Stowe in 1619. It was a difficult life for a boy who quickly grew to be 7' 2" tall, remarkable even today but at that time several heads taller than the average man. This is how an awkward, lonely child grew to be a well-loved man and a Civil War hero. And to be remembered, King Charles II commissioned a life-size portrait of him. Did they use his back for a chalk board at school? Did he eat the wounded enemy soldiers? Did the King really find him dusting the great golden bed? This is his story with plenty of illustrations - facts and legends befitting the Giant of Stratton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An irresistible Cornish romance, set against a glorious backdrop of sandy beaches, turquoise seas and windswept cliffs. Perfect for fans of Veronica Henry, Liz Fenwick and Fern Britton. Famous actor Oliver Foxley has made the most difficult decision of all. He has said goodbye to Cara, the love of his life, in order to try and bring his family back together. But there's a magnetic pull towards Cara, and her beautiful home in the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, that Oliver can neither deny nor resist... Heartbroken for a second time in her short life, single mother Cara knows she has no choice but to pick up the pieces yet again. Then she is given the chance to move to the other side of the world and start a new life. Perhaps a complete change of scene would help her, and her young family, carry on? Yet her mind, heart and spirit yearn for the windswept shores of her Cornish Cove... Cara and Oliver face an agonising choice between following expectations, or following their hearts. How will their story end...? Readers love Cottage on a Cornish Cliff! 'A gentle love story with a magnificent backdrop' Rosemary Smith, NetGalley. 'Kate Ryder is one of my all-time favourite authors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The links between Cornwall, a county frequently considered remote and separate in the Middle Ages, and the wider realm of England are newly discussed. Winner of The Federation of Old Cornwall Societies (FOCS) Holyer an Gof Cup for non-fiction, 2020. Stretching out into the wild Atlantic, fourteenth-century Cornwall was a land at the very ends of the earth. Within itsboundaries many believed that King Arthur was a real-life historical Cornishman and that their natal shire had once been the home of mighty giants. Yet, if the county was both unusual and remarkable, it still held an integral place in the wider realm of England. Drawing on a wide range of published and archival material, this book seeks to show how Cornwall remained strikingly distinctive while still forming part of the kingdom. It argues that myths, saints, government, and lordship all endowed the name and notion of Cornwall with authority in the minds of its inhabitants, forging these people into a commonalty. At the same time, the earldom-duchy and the Crown together helped to link the county into the politics of England at large. With thousands of Cornishmen and women drawn east of the Tamar by the needs of the Crown, warfare, lordship, commerce, the law, the Church, and maritime interests, connectivity with the wider realm emerges as a potent integrative force. Supported by a cast of characters ranging from vicious pirates and gentlemen-criminals through to the Black Prince, the volume sets Cornwall in the latest debates about centralisation, devolution, and collective identity, about the nature of Cornishness and Englishness themselves. S.J. DRAKE is a Research Associate at the Institute of Historical Research. He was born and brought up in Cornwall.
