About this Event
Paul Cockerham is an independent researcher and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Historical Society. Based in Cornwall he was written and edited numerous books and articles examining the context of the medieval and early modern monumental heritage of both Cornwall and further afield, always maintaining an interest in the wider backdrop of such material in western continental Europe.
In this talk, Paul will be giving us an insight into the working methods and personal lives of the antiquarians, brothers Daniel and Samuel Lysons, and Sir Stephen Glynne, 9th Bt of Hawarden, whose notes form the basis of 'Cornish Churches in the 19th century'.
