Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Sacred wells have played an important part in the culture and landscape of Cornwall for several millennia, and continue to do so. Holy Wells: Cornwall is a collection of beautiful colour photographs of forty-five of the most important and pre-eminent wells in the county, accompanied by an informative text about the history and legends associated with them, and a number of poems celebrating them by Robert Southey, Arthur Quller Couch and others. Like Wales and Ireland, Cornwall was an influential centre for the Celtic church and pagan places of worship were taken over by Christianity. Many Celtic saints - St Piran, St Euny, St Nonna, St David, St Mary, St Cuby, St Anne, St Sampson - are referenced in the names of churches and wells which stand in towns and villages, alone on moorland next to stone circles and iron age settlements, hidden in valleys and even in sea caves. Phil Cope takes the reader on a journey of discovery through densely wooded terrain, past bare tors, into ancient churches and along almost forgotten road and tracks, to lead us to special places of wonder and enrichment.Holy Wells: Cornwall includes over 256 photographs, together with a map, bibliography and index. Holy Wells: Cornwall is a collection of stunning colour photographs of 63 wells in Cornwall, with an informative text about their history - and legends - by well expert Phil Cope. Their story from pagan origin to Christian use is told in word and image. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
