Description: Perched on the edge of Cornwall's wildest upland, Bodmin has stood as the county's granite-hearted heart for over a thousand years. This sweeping local history traces the town from its ancient beginnings through the age of saints and monks, the rise of the medieval wool and tin trades, and the tumult of rebellion and civil war. Discover how an assize town shaped by law courts, asylums and railways became the modern community that guards the moor's edge today, complete with its famous gaol and garrison heritage. A vivid companion for visitors, residents and anyone drawn to Cornwall's storied past.
