Bodmin 
        
The town of Bodmin gives its name to the great moor that 
          abounds in prehistoric monuments. It was at the heart of the county 
          during the middle ages and has the largest old church in Cornwall, set 
          up on the site where St Guron lived as a hermit 1400 years ago. Another 
          saint reputed to have lived here was St Feock.

        The finest monument in Bodmin is the 16th century tomb 
          of Prior Vyvyan of Bodmin. A story related of the Mayor of Bodmin at 
          the time of Vyvyan tells how he gave a meal to Sir Anthony Kingston, 
          sent to punish the rebels in 1549. Asked if he thought the gallows strong 
          enough, the Mayor replied that it was; 'Well, then, get you up' Sir 
          Anthony told him.

        The town is a treasure trove of antiquities.
