The Blind Fiddler 1935
Image: © Rev E V Tanner Taken: Unknown
This picture was taken by my Great-Uncle, Rev E V Tanner, whilst on the annual family camping holiday in Cornwall. The Blind Fiddler, also called the Tregonebris Stone, is a standing stone or Menhir that is over 3 metres (10 ft) high and 2 metres (6.5 ft) wide at its base. The story behind it is that a fiddler played here on the Sabbath and was turned to stone. For a more up to date picture of the other side of the stone see Michael Murray's picture, Image, taken in 2006.
