Thomasine Bonaventure, a local shepherdess, was taken to London by a rich merchant, Richard Brunsby, as a ladies maid. On his wife's death, and with her blessing, she married him. Widowed, she then went on to marry another two Lords who both later died. Returning to Week St Mary as Lady Bountiful she built a free school and founded a chantry in this church. You couldn't make it up!

Dist:0.6km<br/>Valleys and fields seen from 562/10/1, just to the east of the village. The valleys (there are three crossing the square and in the photo, the furthest being the deepest) drain past Swannacott Wood and eventually into the Neet.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Gently rolling countryside if you are in a car, a series of nasty little steep hills if you are on a bicycle. There are sheep and lambs in many of the fields.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This is the road to the Langdons - part of National Cycle Route 3. There is an earth bank one side, close to the road, with a hedge on top - typical of minor roads in the area. The house in the photo is right up against the road, with no front garden.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The prevailing wind is from the west, the coast is only eight miles or so away. Hedgerow trees bent over by the wind are a familiar sight in Cornwall.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Cycling around this area involves climbing a succession of short steep hills, nothing large but tiring by the end of the day.
