We regret to report the death of Donald Rawe
Donald was a major figure in Cornish culture, politics, heritage and publishing - a writer and driving force behind the Cornish Literary Guild. A campaigner, scholar, poet and novelist, a man of Padstow, chronicler of his town and without doubt a forceful thinker and excellently patriotic and creative businessman of the post-War era.
(Bert Biscoe)
Can anyone help with information about Clowance and the
St Aubyns please?
