Specifikacia Holy Wells, Cornwall - A Photographic JourneyPevná vazba
Sacred wells have played an important part in the culture and landscape of Cornwall for several millennia, and continue to do so. Holy Wells: Cornwall is a collection of beautiful colour photographs of forty-five of the most important and pre-eminent wells in the county, accompanied by an informative text about the history and legends associated with them, and a number of poems celebrating them by Robert Southey, Arthur Quller Couch and others.Like Wales and Ireland, Cornwall was an influential centre for the Celtic church and pagan places of worship were taken over by Christianity. Many Celtic saints - St Piran, St Euny, St Nonna, St David, St Mary, St Cuby, St Anne, St Sampson - are referenced in the names of churches and wells which stand in towns and villages, alone on moorland next to stone circles and iron age settlements, OP in valleys and even in sea caves.
