In 2022, skeletal remains, dating from around 1700, were found in Section 04 of Cornwall National Landscape (AONB), situated along a busy coast path in Trevone. The remains have prompted investigation and intrigue.
Following the excavation of the remains, Richard Mikulski, Senior Archaeologist from Cornwall Archaeological Unit, examined the remains in more detail, discovering more about his bones and who he might have been… Cornwall National Landscape also commissioned local author, Gareth Rees, to create a fictional account of the man’s life – what it may have been like based on the incredible information that archaeologist Richard was able to provide.
Join us at Padstow Church to learn more about the bones of Trevone, with talks and audience Q&A with those involved in the project. Plus, an author reading from our newly commissioned book.
