To my knowledge stocks were never associated with churches in England.<br /><br />Darren: I noticed from your post that Rob Cohen was born in Cornwall (NY).<br /><br />I don't belong to any organised religion but I always visit churches when I'm out and about, especially old ones. There is often a great feel to them built up over hundreds of years.<br /><br />Thanks for The Way recommendation.Mike Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02149847109691591945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-21110301853066978902012-01-18T04:33:33.685+00:002012-01-18T04:33:33.685+00:00I like these posts about Cornwall.
Armchair travel...I like these posts about Cornwall.<br />Armchair traveling may not be the best way to visit a place,but it's the cheapest and I like these little guided tours around Cornwall.<br /><br />Interestingly,if you read right through my long winded post about "Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story",you'll see that the director Rob Cohen was born in Cornwall,New York (sync!).<br /><br />I love visiting old churches like this,and I'm not a practicing Christian,but I find them such peaceful places,as long as some guy is not in the pulpit spewing out dogma. <br />I watched the movie "The Way" this morning.It stars Martin Sheen and his son (who wrote and directed it) and it is about walking the pilgrimage route in Spain.It is a great movie and I highly recommend it to anybody.Very spiritual,and don't be put off by thinking it is a Catholic route,the spirituality is very beautiful in this movie.<br />There is something for everyone in this movie,I think. <br />And be sure to watch the extra features where Martin is interviewed about the making of the film.<br />Truly magical. <br />He talks about how his great grandfather (I think?) was a master Slater who built the roof of an Irish church,and whose remains are buried in the church grounds. <br />I'm going to do a post about it,because it truly is a great movie that deserves wider viewing.Brizdaz (Darren)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218154629850982033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-70366749270604942342012-01-18T04:12:47.140+00:002012-01-18T04:12:47.140+00:00This is wonderful.

That's the first I've heard of them placed there. :Dtherese patrick, authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624202282411832436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-46281576100407630732012-01-17T15:51:33.364+00:002012-01-17T15:51:33.364+00:00Suzie and Trish: Thanks for the suggestion but I d...Suzie and Trish: Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think I have the time to write a Cornwall blog, though the idea does appeal to me.
