This was worth doing, not least since such a survey was years overdue, and I have made a start at implementing his findings. While the magazine was being reviewed, all manner of suggestions were made, but I recommend that we concentrate first on getting the content right before looking at other possibilities such as a glossy finish and colour pictures.

    The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015

    The Dagg People in St. Kew Jim Dagg, February 2015 St Kew parish, one of over 220 in the Duchy of Cornwall, is north of the town of Wadebridge, north of the Camel Valley and inland from Port Isaac in North Cornwall. About 1100 people are permanent residents of the 6500-acre parish and live in hamlets and farms connected by hedge-lined lanes. The lanes are narrow and twisting. Drive with care. Forty miles an hour can lead to some scary encounters with wildlife, other drivers or walkers. Both cyclists and eight and half foot-wide tractors are on a stop-for-nothing mission. The ancient hamlets are called Chapel Amble, Trewethern, Trewethen, St Kew Highway, St Kew, Trelill, Trequite, Tregellist, and Pendoggett. The origins of St Kew parish, lurk in the mists of time. Ancient beginnings have emerged in the work of many historians, archaeologists and people researching family records that are constantly being discovered. Although I am not one of those lucky types, I have developed a spectator interest during many visits to Cornwall, starting back in the early 1970s. Today, the parish is all quiet farmland. There once was a railway, but the station at St Kew Highway closed in the 1960s. Now a main road runs north to south, the A39, optimistically named the Atlantic Highway, and the B3314 road clips the north-west corner through Pendoggett, but all roads by-pass the church town of St Kew. 1 The heart of St Kew parish is St Kew hamlet and the parish church, St James the Great.
