Cornish Archaeology
#MonumentMondayThis weekend I visited Dupath Well near Callington with members of the Cornish Buildings Group. The well is said to have been built in 1510 by the Canons of St. Germans, and it was restored by Reverend HM Rice, the former rector of South Hill church, in the 19th century. It is built entirely of granite ashlar, including the roof – and there are some huge slabs of dressed granite too, probably brought down from Hingston Down or Kit Hill. The little cupola or bell tower is reminiscent of that at Cotehele, not far away and roughly the same date.The well is a scheduled monument and is looked after by Cornwall Heritage Trust on behalf of English Heritage. It is easily accessible so why not make a visit? historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1013663šŸ“· and post by Sam See MoreSee Less

Area Representatives

The Society includes a number of members who act as Area Representatives (ARs), in order to provide a local contact for CAS members, and for others wishing to contact the Society. An AR will normally be responsible for one or more parishes around his/her home area, and between them they cover the whole of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The AR is expected to be watchful for any occurrence within their area which might have archaeological significance, such as developments disturbing the soil or likely to have an impact on archaeological and historic sites and monuments, and to bring any such to the attention of the local professionals. The AR is also responsible for co-ordinating the Monument Watch project in their area.

To get in touch with your local AR please contact the Secretary and include the name of your parish in your message.
