There are several lovely buildings in the Penryn campus. This is a lecture theatre in a chapel with beautiful windows.There was a good group there for an interesting conference about women's history in Cornwall. The women varied from poor widows to rich bankers, from those without education to others highly educated and clever. Some women had hidden political power (influence). Information was hard for the researchers to find, it seems. There is a public census every ten years but a lot of things could happen between censuses. Husbands could go overseas for several years and come back again. Children could be born and die. Fortunes could be made and lost or given away. There was a need to seek in all types of archives. I'd like to write more tomorrow, perhaps. The day finished with some lively songs.
