Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Ruan Lanihorne is a civil parish and village south of Tregony in Cornwall, England, in the United Kingdom. The village church - dedicated to St. Rumonus - is built of local grey slate stone and is Gothic in style. The font is dated about the 14th century and the tower perhaps about the same date. Restoration work included the installation of a stained glass window in 1866. Lanihorne is perhaps a modified form of Laryhorn (the Cornish name of this place). The village was in mediaeval times the site of a castle of the Lercedekne family and the main settlement was at Sheepstor (Sheepstall) some distance away towards Tregony. The Rev. John Whitaker, author of "The Cathedral of Cornwall" and other historical works, was Rector of Ruan Lanihorne for thirty years (1778-1808). This saint is also honoured at Tavistock Abbey and at Grade-Ruan in Cornwall. For more information: see Saint Ronan and Saint Rumon in G. H. Doble''s "The Saints of Cornwall", part 2, pp. 120-134.
