Boundary stone project completed

The project is helping to preserve the moor's heritage

A project to find and record the historic boundary stones on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall is now complete.

An exhibition to show the results of the work opens on Saturday in Blisland, as part of a month-long celebration.

The work was the idea of the Blisland Commoners Boundstone Project which aimed to find stones which originally marked boundaries between landowners.

The £20,000 scheme involved historians, researchers and documenters as well as many people who live on Bodmin moor.

A team of specialists was given the job of replacing and repairing some of the damaged stones.

Local schoolchildren have been studying the stones in their history lessons, Cornish poets have been inspired to write about them and Skinners Brewery has even come up with a new beer, Boundary Stone Ale.

Blisland is enjoying a month of celebrations to mark the end of the project which includes exhibitions, guided walks and the production of a calendar.
