 North Cornwall - Sir John Betjeman, Cornwall
John Betjeman was born in London in 1906 and died in 1994 at Trebetherick, Daymer Bay, a place he grew to know and love as his parents had a house there where he spent his early holidays exploring the sands of Daymer and the Camel Estuary.
This playground was an education in itself for Sir John and the freedom he must have enjoyed in his youth influenced his attitude to the formality of academics and his wish to be an independent and free spirit.
Sir John's work was more nostalgic and whimsical, perhaps best enjoyed by his contemporaries able to have more of a feel for the images his work conjured up.

 'A Profoundly Reactionary Pope': John Cornwell on John Paul II -- Beliefnet.com
John Cornwell made headlines with 1999's "Hitler's Pope," which charged Pius XII, leader of the world's Catholics during World War II, with failing to denounce and fight the Holocaust.
I think that John Paul has been a great pope, but he is human, and he exists within historical circumstances.
Hence my objection to John Paul is that on certain issues (obviously not all) he is a profoundly reactionary pope.

 Images Of Cornwall - Sundial Photographics
John Stedman was born in Cornwall and has remained in the county all his life.
It is fair to say that John is never happier than when taking pictures, openly attributing the quality of his images to living in such beautiful surroundings combined with a streak of perfectionism that he finds hard to suppress.
Over the years, John has developed an individual style and one that often leans a little toward the abstract in its interpretation of the subject yet still succeeds in retaining a very Cornish feel.

Wesley's main evangelistic thrust was directed at the poor and uneducated miners and fishermen and their familiies in Cornwall.
One cannot help but be enthralled at the ghostly sight of centuries old engine houses, now derilect and covered by vines, giving testimony to the hard lives of these hard-rock miners who literally gave their lives to the retrieving of copper and tin from the bowels of the earth.
It is a documented fact that John Wesley preached eighteen times to masses of miners, mainly, but farmers and fishing folk, too, at the Gwennap Pit, a circular depression in the earth, probably as the result of a partial collapse into an underground dig, approximately two and a half miles from Redruth, Cornwall.
