THE LUSCOMBE INHERITANCE

Young William Davies aged 14, having buried his mother, set out in his father’s boots to walk from Risca in South Wales to the Plymouth Barbican, where his only other relative was supposed to live. The journey took him 13 days and he arrived in the late spring of the year 1817. When his aunt saw him, she threatened to put the dogs on him as he could hardly speak.

He hadn’t eaten for four days; he was wet, filthy and verminous. This is his story and that of his family through the years. A story of triumphs and disasters, of agriculture, mining and industry on the banks of the River Tamar – that placid stream which divides Cornwall from Devon that in its day provided the copper, tin, wolfram, silver, lead, manganese and iron which the great, greedy maw of the industrial revolution demanded. Above all it is a story of Cornish people – and is for all who love Cornwall and the West Country
