## **St Just and St Mawes Heritage Group** 

## **Chairman’s Report to members** 

## **Year to 31[st] October2021** 

I think the last year has been the most difficult for us all with covid and the new variant causing lockdowns and meeting restrictions throughout the year. It has certainly reduced the Heritage Group activities. I hope you have all come through it unscathed. 

## **Telephone box exhibition** 

We continued the WW2 exhibition because so few people had visited the parish during the previous year and the grand plans for V.E. day celebrations in June had all been cancelled. However, there were some small group celebrations and we have a delightful film made by member - Tim Lowe, now on our web site. (www.sjsm heritage.co.uk) Take a look. 

Looking forward, our next annual exhibition will be “Royal Visits and Celebrations” to commemorate the Queens Platinum Jubilee. This will be part of the village celebrations planned for the 2nd -5[th] June long weekend holiday and we hope that some of you will be able to join in the festivities. 

## **Talks** 

We haven’t been able to have any talks during this year but we will be starting again on March 11[th] with the annual AGM followed by a talk about some interesting buildings in the parish with Trustee speakers Jenny Johnson and John Roberts. We do hope that some of you will be able to attend. 

## **Pomerys** 

The new company Pomery’s Ltd which was set up in 2019 has been successful in agreeing a way forward for the development of the building, appointing an architect and producing plans which are now lodged with Cornwall Council planers for a pre application assessment. When final 



plans are available we will be holding a public consultation to gather local opinion before proceeding to the development stage. 

## **Web site** 

Something we have been able to do this year is develop our web site. Stuart Hall has added extended information on the WW2 exhibition. He has also added some films and a “contact us” facility which was used many times over the year as people delved into their family history during lockdown and we had many requests for information on local people and buildings from many parts of the world. 

Perhaps the most interesting new information was a large document bought on Ebay by a local person which was written with quill pen on vellum in 1707. It recorded the appointment of William Fittock Mayor of St. Mawes along with the conditions of the appointment. We have copies of the document which was given to the Heritage Group and the original document has been stored in the Cornwall Records Office for safe keeping. 

## **Trustees** 

During the year we welcomed new Trustee Iain Spiers. Andy Fordham has become our Members Secretary. Bob Morse moved away from St Mawes but continues to support with the Pomerys development. We do have room two more Trustees and would welcome anyone who would enjoy researching the history of the area. Finally, I must thank the current Trustees for their continued work and support over the last year. 

We hope to see you all during the next year perhaps at the AGM or at some of our talks or during the Jubilee celebrations. 

Best Wishes 

Christine Williams 

Chairman.
