Read more inside about the scandalous goings-on at St Pancras Church House, Widecombe. There are also many more photographs full of sunshine from our members who visited Greece and Cambodia. Valerie Maxfield introduces her successor from the AGM in April 2015: NICHOLAS JOHNSON In introducing Nicholas Johnson I am introducing someone who is very much one of our own – someone who has devoted the bulk of his professional life to the Archaeology of Cornwall. Nicholas embarked on his professional career in Cornwall just a few years after I started mine in Devon, and I have been aware, from my viewpoint on the other side of the Tamar, ever since those early days, of the very major role which he has played in the County’s archaeology. His career, firstly with the Cornwall Committee for Rescue Archaeology, later transmogrified into the Cornwall Archaeological Unit and then the Historic Environment Service of Cornwall County Council, mirrors the development of professional archaeology within the County from the initial establishment of a national network of professionally-staffed archaeological units and county Sites and Monuments Records – as they were then known. Nick became County Archaeologist in 1988, retiring from Cornwall Council 22 years later in 2010. Nick was one of the early proponents of bringing Industrial Archaeology within the archaeological mainstream – and where better to do that than in Cornwall – and he played a major part in the laborious process of obtaining World Heritage Site status for the early modern mining landscapes in Cornwall and West Devon. He was awarded the MBE in 2008 in recognition of his service to Archaeology in Cornwall. Nicholas Johnson is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and a Member of the Institute of Field Archaeologists. He has propagated and disseminated Archaeology around the County – he has spoken on its archaeology to audiences local, regional, national and international, to high and low, the great and the good; he has published widely, including two notable books in 1994: with Peter Rose, 1994. help us ‘seed fund’ the next project which is Weaving by Jake Stockley (age 8) Bodmin Moor: an Archaeological in the early planning stages.

The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland.
