Trelawny’s Cornwall: A Journey through Western Lands by Petroc Trelawny invites readers on a deeply personal voyage into the heart of Cornwall’s rich heritage. This evocative book blends memoir with historical insight, as Trelawny retraces the landscapes and stories that shaped his childhood and the region’s identity.

Combining vivid narrative with thoughtful reflection, the author explores Cornwall’s ancient churches, historic mine workings, and the creative hubs where poets, musicians, and filmmakers have expressed the unique Cornish culture. Throughout his journey by road, rail, and foot, Trelawny also examines critical changes affecting Cornwall today, such as the decline of Methodism, the fading Cornish language, and the complex impact of tourism on local communities.

Key features and highlights include:

  • A heartfelt exploration of Cornwall’s past, present, and future
  • Insight into Cornwall’s cultural landmarks and natural beauty
  • Engaging stories from a family steeped in Cornish tradition
  • Thought-provoking reflections on regional identity and change
  • Richly detailed descriptions that bring Cornwall’s “otherness” vividly to life

Perfect for readers interested in British history, regional memoir, and cultural heritage, Trelawny’s Cornwall offers a unique perspective on one of the UK's most distinctive regions. Experience Cornwall anew through Petroc Trelawny’s compelling and lyrical storytelling.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
