We would like to express our immense gratitude to Miss Carlene Edith Harry (pictured centre), whose generous gift left to us in her will made the purchase of Caer Bran possible last year.
Caer Bran is an important multi-phase hillfort site near Sancreed, Penzance, which contains archaeological remains from both the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. Thanks to Miss Harry’s bequest, the Trust acquired Caer Bran in February 2022 to protect the nine-hectare site from possible development and intensive agricultural use.
Miss Harry was from West Penwith and had a keen interest in her local history, so we’re delighted to have been able to make the protection of this special historic place her legacy.
We have carried out much of our work over the years as a result of generous bequests from people who share our values and want our work to be their legacy. The difference Miss Harry’s generosity has made to Cornwall’s heritage is huge and we are incredibly grateful!
If you would like to learn more about leaving a gift in your Will, please get in touch with us on 01209 707008 or email info@cornwallheritagetrust.org
