These are just a few of the hundreds of original documents used in the preparation of the forthcoming book. The longer documents may take a little while to load.
The Cookworthy Museum in Kingsbridge holds a number of original documents and photographs. When the book is published a copy of all the other documents collected by the author will be deposited there.
