The first thing that stood out for me on arriving at the village of Probus was the beautiful church--it has the tallest tower in Cornwall.Also  an amazing grave memorial in the churchyard  of the Hawkins family--4 kneeling grand statues supporting a large slab---dressed like Oliver Cromwell---beautifully carved.I do find one Barbery grave here--a visible one...2007 was the early days of research for Zara's Cornish ancestors---since then and now in 2024 much has been discovered and researched and saved to her family tree---the DNA aspect is also making the research more exciting allowing the living to emerge and make contact--shared ancestry in pursuit of history, the ancestors and their lives etc....
