A WEEKEND exhibition celebrating the heritage of Egloshayle village, church and parish starts today at the parish church.
Local resident Angela Richards has collected more than 400 photos donated by local people, together with their memories of life in the parish in years gone by.
The church will be open today and tomorrow between 10am and 4pm, and entrance is free.
Refreshments will be served all day, and there will be quizzes and information sheets about the exhibition available for a small charge. There will also be trips up the bell tower for £2.
On Saturday at 7.30pm there will be an evening presentation From The Vision to the Noose about the 19th-century murder of local merchant Nevell Norway, whose grave is in the churchyard.
Chris and Jill Batters, the producer and author respectively of a film and book about the infamous event will give an illustrated talk featuring slides and photos of the place where the murder took place and related locations, then and now.
On Sunday at 3pm there will be a concert by the Washaway West Gallery Choir, which won first prize in the Cornish carol section at this year's Truro Music Festival.
The concert will celebrate the rich history of Cornish funeral music from the 18th and 19th century.
