Award winning biographer of the Pinwill sisters, Arts & Crafts woodcarvers of Devon and Cornwall. Churches, and all things Devon & Cornwall, especially Dartmoor. You'll see stuff about churches, not for any religious reason but because I see churches as repositories of art paid for by the community and therefore belonging to the community.
