Went here yesterday but didn't blip it, so returned this evening for another look. Can't believe I've not been here before (before yesterday that is). Steeple Hill (featuring Knill's Steeple) - a strange bizarre landscape at the moment.
Also pictured here. The information board says...
"On St James Day, 25th July, on every fifth year, the ceremony which was originated by John Knill takes place. Two elderly widows and ten young girls in white are led by a fiddler in a dance around the granite mausoleum to the tune of the Cornish Furry Dance."
Have to admit, when I started to read that, I did wonder how it was going to end.
