The Story of Emily is a fresh, immersive historical experience I St Ive, ten minutes from Harpers Cottage. A tale of incredible bravery, determination and impact. It shines the light on an inspirational woman from Cornwall who challenged the social norms of the Victorian era and changed the lives of thousands of women and children during the Second Anglo-Boer War.

We visited the War Rooms at the museum today. They were incredible. One minute you’ve got 360 goggles on and are in a concentration camp in the Transvaal, the next you’re in a train compartment that moves, feels and sounds like a train. And all the while recoiling of the horror that Britain wreaked on the Boers (farmers) so they could get hold of the gold that the Transvaal and Orange Free State had to offer.
Some 28,000 women and children died in the camps having seen their homes burned to the ground and their animals slaughtered. Little wonder this isn’t taught in schools; who really wants to know that the Empire set up these death camps?
Emily was born in St Ive at the rectory there and it has been beautifully restored. It is just ten minutes from where we live. To think from her humble beginnings she became a thorn in Kitchener’s side as she exposed the horrors and futility of war is an amazing and beautifully told life.
Her ashes were taken to S Africa and placed under the memorial to the women and children that died.

If you visit Cornwall this year you must go to St Ive and visit the rectory and the war rooms. You will be deeply touched.

The Story of Emily is a wonderful immersive experience about the life of a woman born in Cornwall who made her name in the Boer War. The rectory where she was born has been beautifully recreated and the War Museum is amazing. There is also a restaurant serving authentic S African dishes. And it’s only ten minutes from Harpers Cottage.

Out with the girls on the River Lynher to cool off. Only a two minute drive from Harper’s Cottage at Newbridge.

Out through Pensilva and Upton Cross and onto Bodmin where we walked to an old wheal house and on the way were treated to quite the performance by these starlings. The Cheesewring is up that way and there’s a good pub too! Only 20mins from Harper’s Cottage.
