The sky was once again overcast and so I spent the morning at the Wadebridge Public Library amongst the local history section where I found a few references to family in a history of Methodism.

In the afternoon, the skies now cloudless, I travelled to the other side of the River Camel and visited the graveyard of the Egloshayle parish church. Another very picturesque church, the surrounding yard only contains the oldest headstones, and I guess it has been weeded of headstones to reduce the appearance of overcowding. The Egloshayle Cemetery a short distance down the road contains the rest and latest. I managed to find a few more relatives (in both locations) but probably not as many as I did at St Breock. And that was the end of another fruitful day.

A interesting old carved plaque on the wall of the Egloshayle church reads:

Whoever is seen loitering
in the Churchyard or behaving
indecently in the Church during
DIVINE SERVICE
will be prosecuted
according to Law
