Welcome to the history website for the parish of St Breward in Cornwall

 St Breward History Group was formed in 2010 with the aim of preserving the history of the parish of St Breward for future generations.  Meeting on a monthly basis in the Village Hall, the members are recording a range of areas reflecting life in St Breward and surrounding parishes. From the people who lived and worked here, their daily life, houses, meeting places and social activities, to the history of farming, industry and business, including mining, the granite quarries and china clay works.

We hope to capture audio, video and documentary reminiscences of family and working life and already possess a large amount of material which is being catalogued. In particular we have a collection of over 3,000 photographs which have been bought, loaned or donated.

Meetings are normally held at 7pm on the last Wednesday of the month. These are lively and interesting with speakers covering a broad range of historical topics. The atmosphere is friendly and informal, and we serve tea and cakes! New members are always welcome, but you can also attend our meetings as a guest.  If you have an interest in history or have some information which you think may be of interest to the group please do come along and join us. For all enquiries please see the contact page.
