Who were the people of this parish? Were the parishioners tin miners or farmers, rich or poor? Who worshipped in this church? There were several nearby Methodist chapels – in Callestick, Bolingey and Perranwell. Perhaps poor people worshipped there. (They are all converted to residences now.) Who are commemorated by these memorials? It’s not the poor people. Memorials are not cheap. We remember these people because of their names and details on the stones. This is their immortality. We must search in a census or a records office to get other people. Here are farmers.
