Memorial Seat Inscription

Memorial Seat - click to go back
The inscription reads:

This seat is in memory of Winston Graham, President of the museum 1985 - 2003. It is at the site of the chalet 'Lech Garrygy' where he spent happy times and where he wrote the novel 'Demelza'.

As a novelist, Winston Graham was not above having an air of mystery about his age. The inscription on this stone, like many of his obituaries, states he was born in 1910 but he was actually born in 1908.

ERECTED BY THE MUSEUM WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF PERRANZABULOE PARISH COUNCIL AND PERRANPORTH GOLF CLUB.
