Albert de Castro Glubb – A ‘Pobel a Gernow’ Story Café
May 9 @ 3:00 pm - 4:45 pm
Join us at Liskeard Public Hall on Friday 9th May at 3pm for a specialist talk on Albert de Castro Glubb, a solicitor who was instrumental in rescuing and protecting a number of historic sites and ancient monuments in the 1930s.
This May, de Castro Glubb will be recognised by the Pobel a Gernow (“People of Cornwall”) initiative as it unveils its first plaque to celebrate unrecognised figures of Cornish history.
Led by Brian Oldham, President of Liskeard Old Cornwall Society, and Pete Herring, a Landscape Archaeologist and Historian, the talk will explore the life, achievements and and passion for Cornish heritage of de Castro Glubb and the history of some of the monuments he helped save. These include King Doniert’s Stone, The Hurler Stone Circles and Dupath Well to name but a few.
The talks are open to all, and tickets are priced pay as you feel at £1, £5 and £10. All proceeds and donations will go towards the Pobel a Gernow scheme.
Tea, coffee and saffron buns will be served.
Pobel a Gernow is a partnership initiative of Cornwall Heritage Trust, Gorsedh Kernow and the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies. It aims to extend the work undertaken by numerous Cornish town plaques schemes into a Cornwall-wide initiative and plans to install more plaques over the coming years.
