Praise for BURIED at the CROSSROADS:
‘Elizabeth Dale is the best kind of historian – she goes deep into the dry records of Cornwall’s archives to retrieve the lives of real people, their stories of passion or crime or tragedy. Not since the work of Charles Henderson has anyone researched Cornish sources so widely, with such diligence and with such overwhelming love for the local.’ – Philip Marsden, Author
“Highly recommended . . . An excellent piece of research and narrative history writing.” – Tim Hannigan, Author
“A true historian. Authentic and absorbing.” – Fern Britton – Author & TV Presenter

BURIED AT THE CROSSROADS – The Four Parishes Stone & Other Forgotten Burial Places in Cornwall
IT’S HERE!! MY FIRST BOOK! In the summer of 1813 a young woman was buried on the isolated moors of Penwith, at a place where the boundaries of four parishes meet. She was just one of an unknown number of outcast dead who for hundreds of years were denied a proper resting place in consecrated ground and were instead buried without service or ceremony at a crossroads or beside a highway. This book uncovers that one woman’s story and reveals the stories of many others in Cornwall who were shunned in death by the church and their communities, or who chose, for their own reasons, to be buried apart. It explores the superstitions behind and the traditions of crossroads burials and our ancestors’ obsessions with death and dying. This is the first book to investigate these events in any detail and it may change how you look at the Cornish countryside forever. Buried at the Crossroads ISBN: 978-1-0683174-0-8 Paperback 157 pages including appendices, notes, bibliography & index Book price: £12.99 UK Postage & Packing: £4.60 FOR OVERSEAS POSTAGE PLEASE SEE BELOW
