> 150 years ago, leftover scraps of meat or fish were mixed with root vegetables to make the traditional filling of the Cornish pasty. > The pasty crust was rarely eaten my miners because of the poisonous chemicals they had on their hands (including arsenic).

A baker from Cornwall wrote to Jane Seymour saying “hope this pasty reaches you in better condition than the last one.”

> The first ever wind turbine was constructed in Redruth in 1892. > The first house in the world to be lit by Gas is in Redruth - installed by William Murdock in 1794. > Despite the rain, Cornwall is the sunniest county in Great Britain, getting at least 1,500 hours of sunshine a year. > In 2005 there were as many registered sheep living in Cornwall as there were people!

From 1931 until the day she died in 1983.
