Portrait of Polperro by Sheila De Burlet
Polperro is celebrated as one of the most beautiful villages in Britain, but its history is less well-known and it is this intriguing tale that de Burlet tells in this work. Chapters deal with the earliest records; the vital harvest from the sea; the two parish churches; the smugglers and their tales; customs, rituals and traditions; the water mills; and the two great men of Polperro - Zephaniah Job and Jonathan Couch.
A book which visitors should enjoy almost as much as the locals.. It must rank among the best written short descriptions of any Cornish village. Western Morning News
Writer and historian Sheila de Burlet's account of life in her native Cornish village of Polperro was first published in 1977.
